Crashing problems

<< < (2/2)

BeosBoxBoy:
have you done a manufacturer's test on the hard drive to see if it has errors?

I find extensive bug reports for that motherboard and games & over-clocking issues.  If you read between the lines on these forums, you will begine to see that the Asus A8V series has substancial design flaws that may be the source of your problems:

Hi Beos

Yes - I had the hard drive checked.  I'm wading through the forums now but it isn't looking good.  Two questions I would love someone to answer - why did EA Support not suggest the over-clocking problem, do you think; and I never had any problems at all up to OFB being installed but is there a remote possiblity that the installation problems could be a cause of the crashing?

Incidently, I have been playing today and the game isn't remembering my settings (new video driver, but at least the screen looks better)

Thanks

Hi again

I broached this subject with EA support and this is what they said:


We have not seen any specific issues with Asus motherboards. But I'm pretty sure it is some type of issue with OFB and your system. OFB did add a bunch of new items in the neighborhood section and raised the requirements for The Sims 2. Even though your system should be able to run it fine we have seen some strange issues that this expansion causes which the others don't.


Now isn't that really helpful?
