Ok I have gone from blond -> gray -> white haired over this problem. And my hair are starting to fall off now.
I had problem with Crashing to Desktop (CTD) since TOA was released. The first crash I had was on release day of TOA.. the last crash was last night. A total of 300+ CTD since TOA release.. sometimes 2-3 / hour.
The message is that game.dll made an error bla bla.
Don't have the error log from windows XP here at work but I can add it to the thread when I get home.
I need a solution to this problem.
I didn't change/install/removed anything the day before TOA was released.
These are the things I have done since february (nothing helped).
* Upgraded bios
* Reinstalled Windows XP Pro 4 times.
* Changed Graphic card from GF4 Ti4400 to a Geforce FX 5700 Ultra.
* Bought a new harddrive (200gb Maxtor 8mb cache, IDE)
* Changed partition from Fat32 to NTFS
* Installed SP1 and SP2
* Updated Network, Sound and Graphic card drivers (Tried other drivers then Nvidia also)
* Installed DirectX 9.0C
* Updated VIA 4in1 drivers
* Installed Windows on the new harddrive
* Bought more RAM, I had 512 and bought 512 more.
* Turned down all graphics in Daoc to minimum.
* Tried different resolutions and both windowed and full window mode.
* Turned off V-Sync, anti aliasing etc in graphiccard setup.
* Turned off alot of effects in Windows, like shadows etc etc
* Scanned harddrive for viruses, spyware etc.
* Closed all programs and processes that I didn't need.
* Checked that my CPU is cold enough, around 50 Celsius when I play daoc.
(I'm sure I missed alot of stuff i tried)
System spec:
AMD Athlon 2400+
1024mb RAM (2xTwinmos 512mb)
Geforce FX 5700 Ultra 128mb
Asus A7v8x motherboard
Built-in NIC and soundcard(AC97)
300W PowerSupply.
Is it worth buying a new PowerSupply? I mean it is only DAoC I'm having problems with. I played WoW for 6 hours+ without any problem, I tried Doom3 with no problems.
Can it be the powersupply? Imo i doubt it since it is ONLY daoc that I'm having these problems with.
Can it be that my first memorystick is bad? I haven't tried memtest since I thought I should have problems with WoW and other games to if that is the problem.
I'm willing to pay for a solution :>
