Does this mean my VERY expensive memory has died? Basically, my comp crashed while playing GTA:SA and WMP10, then it just freezed. Turned off at back, turned back on, and now get this message.

There just software issues

Nothings wrong with your board.

I get them issues with SAMP all the time, I can't even run the app!

Nothing to do with my board. Just corrupt software somewhere.

Try re openeing the app and see if it works.. if not just reinstall it

thealmightyone · 08-20-2006, 04:17 PM

Phew. Ok, I'll edit this with an update after re-installing.

thealmightyone · 08-20-2006, 04:30 PM

Not looking good at all. Reinstalled SAMP and GTA, same problem. Haven't reinstalled Windows, but I dont have the time right now. I think turning it off at the power supply during the freeze was a bad idea.

I trun mine off at the back alot when i get a system freeze as to do the power button I have to open thye panel

You say you get problems with GTA itself?

Are they exaclty the same probs as what you had with SAMP?

thealmightyone · 08-20-2006, 05:08 PM

I mean, reinstalling BOTH gta and SAMP didnt help at all.

Did you install the fix for that problem with SA-MP?

Installed it, didnt help. Definately isnt the memory though, as I ran 2 instances of memtest, each up to 250%.

fade2green514 · 08-20-2006, 08:33 PM

well yea, that would indeed eliminate memory as a problem. i'd say its software too... i'd back everything important up and reinstall windows.

I would download memtest86+ It's a bootable and more reliable MEMtest program, because it can use al the ram which it can't while in windows. I would suggest running it overnight.

Still most likly not the problem, but it's best to compltly elimiate it.

It's also "possible" its VRAM, but even more unlikly.
