Title: Blue screen of death
Post by: DF_CRASH on November 18, 2010, 03:45:30 PM: Hi All
since the last update I believe, my computer crashes when I get on a ship in a gunner position. This seems to be the only time it happens. I have for a system Intel Pentium R D CPU 3 Ghz, with 2G of ram. running an ATI Radeon 5700 with an addition 1 G of ram, the operating system is XP 5.01 version 2002 with S/ Pack 3. My direct X is 9.0c

I check and my divers for the ATI are current and updated most of my drivers i believe.

any ideas on what the issue could be?

hope to hear from ya
Dan

May or may not be pertinent to your troubles.

Good luck.

Anti Virus

Anti Spam

Anti Adware

Anti Spyware

Basically software that runs in the background and scans stuff. Turn it all off before running AH if at all possible.

Yes I have Avast which is supposedly especially problematic, but I've never had an issue either.

But I have seen many people with cases of strange glitches like this, of which was solved after uninstalling (or disabling) various "anti-" softwares...
