Game Freezes
« on: October 18, 2007, 10:08:46 AM »
I have been getting game freezes after about 1 hour of playing. Everything works great up to that point. I think it might be a cooling problem. I already have a cool pad with 2 fans. If this is the problem is there anything else I can do?? Thanks
Here is my DXDIAG

It can definately be heat related.

Also turn off power management, disable the Aero interface for Vista, if it is running.  It is a dual-core AMD, I would suggest setting the game to run in Windows 98/ME compatibility mode to work around some issues Vista has with AMD dual-core CPU's.

I have aero turned off and am running in Windows 98/ME compatibility mode. I am not sure how to turn off power management. I have it set to High performance, but i can't figure out how to turn it off completely.
