I had these problems in US when DR came out, tried all the solutions given here but none worked, then read one of the reasons it crashes was the horses, you can change models from DR to classic in char login screen - fixed it for me.
Same happened on eu release, was running fine for a few days then port to cruachon (where alot of ppl are obv on horses) and I'd crash. Changed models to classic straight away and it's fine now.

I'll try speak with someone at ATi via work when I'm next in, my test system flies through it though with a 9800 pro

Just a quick q, would a hard drive having bad blocks cause a crash in games?

reason I ask is after "fixing" my problem with my mobo not liking all slots populated with different size sticks, I still crash (especially in rvr even on toa client) except its not the same ie vpu recovers from it whereas the infinate loop error would lock the system up

anyway after doing some tests (stress tesing cpu benchmarking gpu and testing hard disk) the only thing failing is the hard drive with around eleven bad blocks at the start of the drive smart is saying one hundred blocks have been replaced am replacing the drive next week but would just like to know if this could be the culpret?

keep crashing in DAOC (total system crashes) after the patch

anyone have some tips?

I recently had some crash problems as well. And Im using a ATI gfx-card.
Check last posts in this thread below by me and Sye for some tip regarding
DEP feature in windows.

Hello,

Thanks for your report, we advise you to go to the 'properties' page of the network card. Start Menu -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager. In that window, go to Network Adapters and then click on the + sign then right click on the network card itself and choose 'properties'. Look for an option which will be called either 'Hardware Checksumming' or 'Checksum Offload' and disable it. Click on OK and then close all the other windows and the problem should be solved.

to stop the system rebootin

Win XP and Win 2000 have a default setting to restart at just about any error. It makes things difficult to analyze when it blows through and restarts the computer. Settings / Control Panel / System / Advanced / Startup and Recovery / Settings. Make sure the box is UNCHECKED where it says "Automatically Restart" under System Failure."

Not just about any error but yeah it will restart upon errors that the user can do fuck all about.

XP is kinda good at supressing errors though, try checking your system error logs.
