weird problem!

Beyond · 04-26-2006, 04:04 AM

the reason i asked about age of empires 3 is because that would confirm for sure if you needed the patch. honestly i don't think it will fixed anything based on how you've described the problem, but it's something you can put on your list of things to do as you're trying to solve the problem...

by the way, stop posting one thing after another because it'll get you in trouble here. don't bump your message every 10 minutes either..gives it time and eventually you'll get things worked out!

the driver update didn't seem to help and i'm starting to think that its a heat problem

mrbagrat · 04-26-2006, 04:30 AM

Update drivers. Un/reconnect all cables and plugs. Remove dust from heatsinks/fans. Btw, I have a list of things to try, so if these don't work I can just keep going down the list.

i tried reconnecting everything and dusting the heatsinks but i still get the problem, i also downloaded the latest drivers for my motherboard, processor, video card, and sound

did any else have this problem? another thing i noticed is that when you type dxdiag into Run under the start menu and click on display subheading. The direct 3d tests with the spinning cube spin extremely fast that i can't evcen see the writing on it. does anyone else get this?

i know it sounds retarded, but so many times i find that the problem is really simple. Check the mouse sensitivity in the games.

tehownage · 04-27-2006, 04:19 AM

naw its not mouse sensitivity because the animation gets weird also when the problem occurs, for rts games it looks as if they're going at 5fps and in first person i get like accelerated and run super fast sometimes ( the weird thing is that these problems occur within atleast 3 hours of playing and they happen less often when my room is very cold, can this possible be my harddrive overheating? its idle temp is about 50 andon load it can reach up to 55,everything else stays in the 30s and my cpu might sometimes reach 44 maximum under load

**Shady** · 04-27-2006, 07:01 AM

i think 55 is too much for a hard drive
everything else sounds fine

i found the problem, it seemed like it was a problem with my dual core x3800 processor cores interfiering with each other. I downloaded a program called WinLauncherXP and it gives me the oppurtunity to use one core for some programs. Is there any way that i can get around this without using software?
