AH lockup

[DREDIOCK]

osted this in Hardware/software without thinking.
reposting it here

AH lockup
Intermitently AH will lock up now and then. sometimes more frequent then others.
Lately its been alot.
If you look at my Discos over the last month or so. all But one were due to thie game locking up on me. And my having to reboot just to be able to even get back into windows.

the "one" time being a very brief internet outage

tried updating, and trying different video drivers. and reinstalling the game.
same thing.

I can go for days without a problem, then suddenly get a rash of them
Tis getting REALLY annoying. Particularly as it always seems to happen at inopportune moments.

Anyway.

As usual. Going ot the microsoft website was about as useful as teets on a bull

[goober69]

i was having thsi same problem upgraded my computer with 1gig ram and cheap vid card... never crashes using ah anymore.

whats your system specs and what kind of eye candy are you running?

if you use nvidia is it saying that the driver caused windows to stop responding? if so its mem shortage eitehr in the card itself or computer.

im now runing 512 textures at 1024/ something res
and have my sliders halfway up no problems here.
except for sometimes laggy connection.
