[USER SETTINGS] Computer Shut down on GE:S

(1/2) > >>

Okay, here are system specs.
AMD Athlon X2 6000
A-Bit AN9-32X Mobo
4GB Mushkin High Performance
eVGA 8800GTX
Creative X-fi Xtreme Gamer
Cooler Master 750watt psu
Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit

Issue:
When playing any mod or any game through Steam, I can play for days, no issues.  However, with GoldenEye: Source, my computer will randomly shut completely off without any flags or warnings or clues as to why.  This puzzles me being that 90% of the games I play are on Steam. 

Cooling isn't the issue.  My idle/load temps are fantastic.  I love the game when it works and I wish I were able to play it for stable amounts of time! 

Anyone having this issue?  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Brett

i upgraded ur rams


Configure Windows to not automatically reboot on errors.  Starting in, XP was it?, they made the default behavior be instant-reboot rather than admit to blue-screening since as of XP, Windows is perfect and never has errors.  So, turn your BSOD on again and see if you get some info next time it crashes.  I'm guessing a driver DLL is snagging somewhere.   You are on Creative Labs after all. :D

DentMan06:
Okay, I set for BSoD to show, however, there is none when the comp shuts off.  Everything stayed exactly the same as before, however, with the exception that this time there was some skipping before the crash (and from my experience it sounded like it may very well be sound-related). 

Damn =(

I recommend HT Omega.

The striker cards are an inferior product; buy Claro, they use quality caps and IC's.

keefy:
Sounds nice ::)  Are they going to top creative becasue they do need it creative are shite these days, I have an X-fi but its starting to crackle after 3 years and since I play mostly source games it doesn't make much difference since source is software sound.
most creative cards are exactly the same except they bundle in the inut things to bump up the price.
