PC Freezing Up

[Hammy]

after i connect, about 5 minutes later, my PC freezes up and i have to reset it and reboot. This is driving me nuts.

I have had an error message on a cuple of occasions from microsoft saying aces high has encountered an error and needs to close and have submitted the details to microsoft, but generally i just get a freeze up and need to hard boot.

Any ideas skuzzy????????????  





I have done a dxdiag and forwarded it to you skuzzmeister!!

I just checked my email Hammy, and no DXDIAG is there.

[Hammy]

gonna resend it

I am having same prob. and getting same aceshigh.exe has encountered a prob. and needs to close message. although it usually takes at least 1/2 hour to happen.  The screen freezes and if lucky, I can get task manager up to close out aceshigh but most of time I have to hold power button in.

Two other people I talked to are experiencing same thing.

Do the same thing Hammy did and send Skuzzy a copy of your Direct X Diagnostic report.  Too many things can cause that problem to diagnose with such a general statement.  Everybody's computer is different.

[HG428CJ]

I did that--have not heard back from Skuzzy.

If you sent it Friday evening or during the weekend, then I will not get to it until Monday.

I answer all my email everyday (Monday through Friday), so if you sent it on Thursday, for example, and did not get a reply from me on Friday, then resend the email.

well you can add me to the list , ive had 2 tonight , playing for an hour or so then CTD with a MS error , will send DXdiag skuzzy 38maw

EDIT:  i dont know if this matters, but 20 mins or so before this ctd,  i saw a weird message that said invalid component 1042 message in the text buffer   FWIW

I get the samething, but the funny thing is, it only does it in XP home, not 98SE, so I use 98SE to play AH.  It's gotta have something to do with XP.

way to explain it?

[AWwsky]

Select Start: Run: Type Dxdiag: hit enter or select OK and it'll do it's thing.

Had the same Hammy ! only happened when I had the the new
drivers for my nvida card 71.84 , only way to stop it, was to go back to old drivers and not happened since
