<title>Re:System freezes when I jack in</title>
<description>I&amp;#39;ve installed the drivers from the cd. It&amp;#39;s a very old sound card, so they might be from before 2001 now. Though I am sure that&amp;#39;s not where the problem lies since I used to run MXO fine and I didn&amp;#39;t even had the sound drivers installed.&lt;br&gt; So, I tried to find new drivers on creative.com, found two but they didn&amp;#39;t recognise my card. I got SB Live! 5.1, it says I have it when I open the Device Manager. But the drivers thought differently.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Re-installed DirectX. But there was nothing to reinstall.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; I still have the same problem. &lt;img src=&quot;/mxo/images/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;SMILEY&quot; /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; But thanks for the help man. Much better than from the TSR&amp;#39;s, thats for sure. After I told them I had the problem with all my games they asked me to post my character name and server I play on, and a bunch of other things that had nothing to do with the problem. &lt;img src=&quot;/mxo/images/smilies/b2eb59423fbf5fa39342041237025880.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;SMILEY&quot; /&gt;</description>

<description>Just try running the game from a clean boot just to see if there is a program running which might be causing a problem.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Instructions can be found &lt;a href=&quot;http://help.station.sony.com/cgi-bin/soe.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=957&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Jeffers&lt;br&gt; </description>

Make sure you set your country too... trust me when I say you need the right region.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Go there. I have a Live 5.1 with LiveDrive IR as well. The drivers are very picky with windows XP.&lt;br&gt; If the auto update doesn&amp;#39;t work you will need to download the &lt;a href=&quot;http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/download2.asp?MainCategory=1&amp;amp;Product=50&amp;amp;dlcentric=1926&amp;amp;Product_Name=Live%21+5%2E1&amp;amp;OSName=Windows+XP&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;drivers for 2k/XP&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Try the autoupdate first. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>The Auto update seems to work. And thanks for showing me the feature, I&amp;#39;ve never heard of it but it&amp;#39;s quite handy.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; I get this message when it&amp;#39;s done:&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: red&quot;&gt;Status: No updates are necessary for your Creative product. &lt;br&gt; Your system already has the latest versions installed.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; So I guess installing the drivers from cd was enough, or that the updated drivers that I&amp;#39;ve downloaded somehow installed themselves anyway.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; edit: I&amp;#39;ll try the link you&amp;#39;ve given. *crosses fingers* Perhaps that&amp;#39;ll work.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; edit2: But it didn&amp;#39;t. My pc still freezes like it does everytime. I jack in, I see my char, then after a second or two everything stops moving exept my mouse, which I can move for another 5 seconds. Then my screen goes black but my sounds continues playing. That continues to do so for another 10 seconds and sometimes my pc reboots itself automatically, and sometimes it does not.&lt;br&gt; </description>

I thought it made them more easier to read than on these bloody forums.&lt;br&gt; The internet related things and MXO details obviously have nothing to do with this issue. My internet is working fine.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Description of the Problem:&lt;br&gt; 1. Server you currently playing on. - All of them&lt;br&gt; 2. Problem(s) you are having including any error messages. - No error messages. My pc freezes, screen goes black and I have to reboot. No error messages after that either.&lt;br&gt; 3. Internet Service Provider you are using and type of Internet connection. - What? Got cable internet which leads to a router. My pc&amp;#39;s on a wireless network. I&amp;#39;ve used that forever since and never had any trouble running MXO, or any other game over the internet.&lt;br&gt; 4. Do you have a firewall between you and the Internet, or are you using any personal security/firewall software? - No, not anymore.&lt;br&gt; 5. Are you doing any Internet Connection Sharing or Network Address Translation? - No idea what this is. If it means my pc is on a network, then yes. Details? No idea and I know for a fact that it is irrelevant to my problem. &lt;img src=&quot;/mxo/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;SMILEY&quot; /&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Oh, something I forgot to post:&lt;br&gt; I&amp;#39;ve also tried to turn everything off in the msconfig window. Didn&amp;#39;t work either.&lt;br&gt; </description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Looking at the msinfo again I&amp;#39;m a little worried by this line from the Systeemstuurprogramma&amp;#39;s section:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt; Naam&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Beschrijving&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Bestand&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Type&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Gestart&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Startmodus&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Provincie&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Status&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Foutenbeheer&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Onderbreking accepteren&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Stop accepteren&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; amon&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; AMON&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; \??\c:\windows\system32\drivers\amon.sys&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Kernelstuurprogramma&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Ja&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Automatisch&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Geactiveerd&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;OK&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Normaal&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Nee&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Ja&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The install location has \??\ before the actual&amp;nbsp;folder&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do you have Quake 4? *crosses fingers*&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If so how does that perform?

Your particular CPU doesn&amp;#39;t have overheat protection.&lt;br&gt; Open the side of your case, make sure the fans and heatsinks are dust free (by blowing on them... DO NOT USE A VACUUM CLEANER or AIR COMPRESSOR!) and try running with the case open. Possibly even point a fan in there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You could also try adding the following line (or just change the existing line if it&amp;#39;s there) to options.cfg in your MxO install directory:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Windowed = 1&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let me know how that goes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Other things you really should do before running MxO:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Turn off limewire&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Turn off Spy Sweeper&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;</description>

Because I&amp;#39;ve formatted my disk for 5 times and&amp;nbsp;every new&amp;nbsp;configuration&amp;nbsp;didn&amp;#39;t run any games.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do you have Quake 4? *crosses fingers*&lt;br&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff&quot;&gt;No, sorry.

Blowing includes water, well not water but it&amp;#39;s a little wet (i dont know the English translation for this word). At the story where I&amp;#39;ve worked we always used a compressor, which blowed pure air. A lot safer I can tell you.&lt;br&gt; But I&amp;#39;ve done that. Both my CPU and GPU fan are perfectly clean, without dust. I think you&amp;#39;re right though, either of them can be broken. Which is good, it&amp;#39;s a lot easier to fix. I&amp;#39;ll check if I can get switch my graphic card with another pc of a friend, and his with mine to see if there&amp;#39;s a problem with either two.&lt;br&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You could also try adding the following line (or just change the existing line if it&amp;#39;s there) to options.cfg in your MxO install directory:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Windowed = 1&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let me know how that goes.&lt;br&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff&quot;&gt;Will do. Hah, I was looking for this option, hoping I&amp;#39;d get an error message out of it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Other things you really should do before running MxO:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Turn off limewire&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Turn off Spy Sweeper&lt;br&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff&quot;&gt;I&amp;#39;ve tried that but didn&amp;#39;t work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Response in other color.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; I&amp;#39;ve thought about it yesterday and I think you&amp;#39;re right. CPU or GPU is broken. I&amp;#39;ll check it on saturday and post here.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Thanks for the help! &lt;img src=&quot;/mxo/images/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;SMILEY&quot; /&gt;&lt;br&gt; I&amp;#39;d give ya some info, if I was on the same server. &lt;img src=&quot;/mxo/images/smilies/49869fe8223507d7223db3451e5321aa.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;SMILEY&quot; /&gt;&lt;br&gt; </description>

<description>You probably have already, but did you check to make sure everything was actually plugged in correctly? It could be that one of the cards is lose or sommat.&lt;br&gt; </description>

<description>Hah, just found this nostalgic riva tnt2 graphics card, with 8 GRAM! Perfect for testing purpose.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; edit because forum fooks up my post:&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; So, I found this card.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;/mxo/images/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;SMILEY&quot; /&gt;</description>

<description>Ah *CENSORED* off *CENSORED* *CENSORED*.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; I had a 6 line post, including a screenshot and it *CENSORED* wont post it.&lt;br&gt; Seriously, this forum gets me more frustrated than my own pc and that means a lot!&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Now you&amp;#39;ve ruined my cheerful mood, *CENSORED* forum. May you burn in hell for your sins!&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;i&gt;5 edits later...&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt; AAARGH!!!&lt;br&gt; It even got the part out where I said my problem is solved!!!&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; *CENSORED* *CENSORED* *CENSORED* *CENSORED* *CENSORED* *CENSORED* *CENSORED* &lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff0000&quot;&gt;&amp;lt;I understand your frustration, but please do not post in ways that circumvent the profanity filter. -Walrus&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; So yeah its solved. Old 8mb video card worked. Made my screenshot ugly, but at least my system didn&amp;#39;t freeze. I want to show you my chess board, but this forum is TOO CRAPPY to post posts properly.&lt;br&gt; I am gonna get myself a new graphics card tomorrow. Probably new mainboard and CPU too, that thing is too slow anyway.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Anyway, thanks for the help guys!

<description>Hi &lt;b&gt;Reeverb&lt;/b&gt;,&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; If this is ocurring on ALL 3D applications, it&amp;#39;s probably a directX issue, or a problem with your graphics card. The question about Quake is actually a great way to see what the problem is- see if you can run an OpenGL game. since it does not use any DirectX libraries, you can immediately determine where the fault lays.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; If you don&amp;#39;t have an OpenGL game (like Unreal Tournament or Quake) then you may want to try Google Earth. It has an OpenGl rendering mode, and can be downloaded for free here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://earth.google.com/index.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://earth.google.com/index.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; Start that program in OpenGL mode. Does it work? If so, start it in DirectX mode. Does it work there as well?&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; If it does not work in either mode, try swapping out your graphics card with a known-good card (as in, a card that you have tested today, in another machine, and it is definitely working). I made the mistake of using a &amp;#39;known good&amp;#39; card that I had tested 6 months previously, when I had a computer problem last year. One motherboard, power supply, CPU, 2 gigs of memory, and a powercord later, I got a new graphics card and haven&amp;#39;t had a problem since.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; That was an expensive mistake, so test with care.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt; errr......disregard. &lt;b&gt;Note to self&lt;/b&gt;: read entire thread before posting!&lt;br&gt; </description>
