Curse

Chocobo1 · Jul 07, 2008, 11:56 AM // 11:56

I've looked all over google for the anwser, this happens in 3 games I have and I have no clue how to fix this. The game will randomly freeze up then crash to desktop. I have the error here I have no clue what it means hopefully one of you guys can help

I can give any other details you need as long as you tell me what they are.

From the code, it looks like a video problem. Whether it's the card or the driver, I don't know.

You're running Vista, yes?

Chocobo1 · Jul 07, 2008, 12:08 PM // 12:08

I'm running Windows XP. This is the second graphics card, the other was a Nvidia one. It also did this error so I figured I could rule out the graphics card.

Kattar · Jul 07, 2008, 12:16 PM // 12:16

Ok, good, we're ruled out the card itself.

Can you post your other system specs for us? That'll help, since I'm thinking the PSU might be the cause now. Although, it could be a number of things...

Chocobo1 · Jul 07, 2008, 12:38 PM // 12:38

Umm hmm I got a everest report but this forum doesnt wanna show it so ill have to give it as an attachment sorry

Divinus Stella · Jul 07, 2008, 12:51 PM // 12:51

Ive been having a similar crash with Guild Wars, it started after the last update, ive not played the game a lot since perhaps only for 2 hours but ive had the crash 4 times now, each time submitted the report to anet.

I have a Nvidia 8800GT with latest drivers, seems that you have ruled out graphics but i cant think what else causes errors like that.

Sorry to just step in, but I noticed this:

OS Service Pack --- Service Pack 1

You should update right away to SP3: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/pro...3/default.mspx

Note that it may have nothing to do with the problem, but it's necessary for your security.

Chocobo1 · Jul 07, 2008, 01:00 PM // 13:00

Ae nah It's ok the way it is, I'm well aware of the security risks and stuff but I don't really wanna upgrade it :P

Are you sure this is not the cause of the problem? May be Divinus Stella can tell us if s/he also hasn't upgraded (plus SP3 is a good boost to overall performance of XP).

Chocobo1 · Jul 07, 2008, 01:11 PM // 13:11

I dont really see how different services packs would affect it :S Guild Wars should be able to run fine on Service Pack 1.

Kattar · Jul 07, 2008, 01:14 PM // 13:14

Good catch Fril, I didn't see that.

Upgrading isn't just a security issue, it's a stability issue as well.

Upgrade at least to SP2, and see if that helps. Many things just will not work with SP1. So that may help a little.

Chocobo1 · Jul 07, 2008, 01:17 PM // 13:17

Hmm ok lets say that I can't actually upgrade past this Service pack because of reasons beyond my control. Is there anything else that could be causing this?

Kusandaa · Jul 07, 2008, 01:22 PM // 13:22

I don't think the SP1 is causing the problems; I had similar problems with my old computer (Intel P4 2.4GHz, Asus P4B533 mobo, 512MB RAM, ATI Radeon 9600SE 256MB).

Here's what happened to me in details

I've always had problems with the computer itself (RAM-related at the beginning, then XP problems). For a while it worked nice, but I had c0000005 exceptions every now and then, nothing TOO bothering. When I moved in with my husband the computer went nuts and would crash every time I'd run a 3D game - c0000005 exception still, sometimes sending me to the desktop but most of the time, crashing the entire system to a BSOD. Games would crash everywhere between 15 minutes and 2 hours. I updated the video card drivers, nothing worked.

Anyways I dealt with it about an year and a half. I just simply wouldn't play much on it...

I was gaining interest in GW again so I had updated the drivers, the mobo, checked for stuff that went wrong in the BIOS, asked for a technician to help... anyways, nothing seemed wrong.

In September 2006 - over 4 years I bought the computer - it BSODed on me again and I couldn't boot it normally, it would crash at the Windows XP logo. I've had that problem before too (on my old P1 133MHz, vid card problems) so I thought that if I could change video cards, boot in safe mode, uninstalled vid card and install the new one like I had done for my previous computer it'd be okay... went and bought a new vid card, put it in the PC...

... It didn't even go past the boot screen the first few times. Finally, I gave up and put the old card back in. Comp finally booted again, got passed boot screen, loaded to Windows...

BSOD, then nothing. It would refuse to boot.

This time I went to a technician, who told me the WHOLE computer had fried and that I needed to replace everything, even maybe the case if my new mobo wouldn't fit in (but it did, saved me over 400 bucks).

My guess is that there was something up with the power, or there was a problem with the mobo anyways...

But my c0000005 exceptions were NOT created by the vid card even though the BSODs noted that it was caused by the ATI drivers.

So huh... I hate to sound pessimist but if you can't boot the computer at all at some point, something's frying up and you might need to change it.

EDIT: The c0000005 were apparently caused by "faulty" ATI drivers (although I knew people with similar vid cards and nothing had gone wrong). I say "apparently" because it's what BSODs showed: ati.dll caused a c0000005 exception at yada yada.... in both your case and mine, it's not the video card itself as both systems used 2 cards to test. We can eliminate this. I'm really guessing it's a mobo problem, at most a power problem...

My computer was also running on SP2.

I think I have an idea why you can't download your Windows updates, but I still don't think it's the cause. However, these security updates are important, especially if you're like most people and use the Internet a lot. I'm sure they don't help.

Kattar · Jul 07, 2008, 01:22 PM // 13:22

Buy a non-pirated copy of Windows.

And no, there's nothing else I know to suggest. Anyone else have any ideas?

Buy a non-pirated copy of Windows.

And no, there's nothing else I know to suggest. Anyone else have any ideas?

Sigh I feel terrible for using it but I bought the comp cheap of a friends friend and he neglected to tell me that it wasn't legal -_-;

Um also just thinking my other computer has a better power supply than this one, would it be worth switching them?

I doubt that.

Yeah, it might be worth switching them, but I'd get a few more opinions before I started throwing parts at it.

I think silence and thoughtfull advice is a more appropriate answer, but yours is good too

. And you're right, Chocobo1 should be able to upgrade to SP2 without any kind of problems (...):

(http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com should give you the option of installing SP2 and not SP3)

Just between you and me Chocobo1, by running XP with only SP1, you're like a house without doors and windows: no one may notice it, but if they do your computer is 0wned quickly. It's your choice. XP does not cost much these days...

Honestly, checking software is fast and easy, and you should try it first, even if it means coming back out of the darkness

Well I'm worried because I don't really want this to fry on me like what happened to the other person. I don't know if this will help but I can play games for ages perfectly (Went 5 hours today without a single problem, lol at trying to do a new character) then eventually it crashed and just kept on crashing within 20 minutes of each other.

Fixed for greater truthiness.

Upgrading requires WGA authentication, so I doubt it'll work.

See, now that sounds like a hardware issue.

Edit: Things not loading right lol. I was thinking personally that it may be overheating but I asked the guy who sold it too me (complete nerd <_<) and he said that the temperatures were all fine when I gave him the report.
