*Possibly resolved--Spontanious reboot

<< < (4/5) > >>

Sleepycat:
well if you both want to see if the problem is caused by your huge Downloads folders (I have a kick @ss computer and I wouldn't play with that much custom content)

Just move your Downloads folder to your desktop and load the game, start a new hood (that way you won't mess up your main hoods) and play for a while see if you still have the rebooting problem.

BeosBoxBoy:
usually this is caused by a fan dying or in the process of dying on the video card or the CPU.  Check both with the bonnet of the case if it is a tower system - if they both turn freely and are spic-and-span clean -- then it may be something far darker (like a heat fractured motherboard, dying hard drive, bad RAM, etc.

karialSim:
Oh crap, that sounds scary. But I will check it out.

btw, I just tried running the game again, and still the same crapola. It just gives different numbers or whatnot.

*well, I got the idea to try it in a different drive.......and thought for a little while that it fixed the problem. I played for maybe 20-30 minutes, but then it rebooted on me. Gawd I want to cry and scream and throw things. I'm ready to sell my darn soul here.

karialSim:
It seems as though the problem is somewhere in my files, because the problem didn't happen playing on a totally clean (no custom content whatsoever) game. So now I just have to search the problem out.

*edit. Ok, that isn't the problem. It is a device driver error. So hopefully I can get it fixed now.

karialSim:
Well it seems that the problem IS somewhere in my downloads. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game today, and then played for a little while before putting any custom stuff in. No problems. So I began adding a little at a time and testing. I'm not exactly sure yet where the problem is, but I have found a few probabilities. It has only crashed twice today, and the first time I seem to have gotten rid of whatever was causing it. The second time I'm not sure yet. I haven't tested again yet after removing a few things. Time to come back to it tomorrow refreshed. LOL

Just a few minutes ago though, it occured to me to get the updated CEP. So maybe that will help too. Hopefully by the end of tomorrow I will have it fixed and can at least give a general idea of how or why.
