Halli~SPARTA~ Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Ya'll know that I know nothing much about Systems but with the 775 boards or Asus anyway you had to set ram volts manually because the board set them undervolted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkeleTele~SPARTA~ Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 It is the game, but I am addicted, lol. Zeno I totally understand where your coming from. I bought this game and installed it on my old Pentium 4 system. Keep in mind this is my first PC game. I've been a PlayStation guy since it's release. I have no PC gaming experience what so ever anyway.... I soon realized that my old system couldn't play the game. I was so impressed with arma 2 that I had to be able to play it so i built a system that could keep up and i'm so glad i did................. im going to play a game now ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 OK, so In switzerland I have resolved my problems by building an XP drive, which ran flawlessly. Today I arrive in france where the recently built Vista drive was working flawlessly, When I turned it on there were some windows updates, so I installed them. It updated vista to SP2 Now I get bizarre BSODs in Game with the following error stop: 0x00000124(0x00000000,0x85cd1028,0xb2000040,0x00000800) I checked this on the microsoft site but didnt find anything applicable Before that I installed riva tuner to fix the fan speed at 100% When the crash happens the cpu temp is around 60C and the GPU is around 73C it is not the temps, I think the problem stem from SP2, So yet again tomorrow I will build an XP drive for gaming. This will be my 4th build in 2 weeks, very irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) Looks like memory error, maybe. try increaseing the page file memory. If your running a nvidia card , you should be useing ntune and maybe not rivia, rivia is for ati cards i think. Are you running sli, if you are theres a hot fix in nvidias sight.
