Very Strange Problem

ThatGuy16 · 06-08-2008, 09:18 PM

Did you make sure the patch didn't mess with your COD4 graphic settings, make sure it didn't enable dual video cards by chance?

Kornowski · 06-08-2008, 09:23 PM

I tried changing the settings to 'Low' and it didn't help, still 20FPS.

I tried GRID too, and that does the same thing... Also, I had the 1.6 Patch installed prior to this and it worked just fine...

Could it be the MOBO at all?

Now my computer won't even boot, it BSOD's on the Loading Bars...

Seriously, No ideas!?

i think its the MoBo man.... they take more of a beating than they let on. you said you heard slight crackling in the audio, and that might be a sign its starting to go bye-bye

you should at least *try* a new MoBo and processor... although its stupid to, because youre doing a summer upgrade anyway.

my diagnosis: the mobo is tired.

Thanks a lot for the reply, dude! I thought CF was dead

Yeah, I think it's the MOBO too, but I don't have any others to test in there... Which is awkward. I was looking at the summer upgrade because of this problem actually, but I don't want to get all new stuff, only to find the problem is still there.

i won't go and assume it's a hardware problem. Uninstall cod first.
Then go through your registry and delete any keys that are affiliated with cod.
or use some registry program (like jv16 powertools) to clean out your registry.

Most programs leave tons of registry keys which really can screw up your computer

jimkonow · 06-12-2008, 03:09 PM

or use the registry cleaner in CCleaner...that works really well.

he already re-installed COD4, viper

Kornowski · 06-12-2008, 03:09 PM

I did un-install CoD, and I also ran CCleaner, but it didn't help... I will try doing a clean install, and if I still get problems, then I'll look into getting a new Motherboard.

Thanks for the help though
