AOL problems and crashes during games

Folks:
Most every time I download software updates, I cannot access AOL. It happened again yesterday. I tried trashing the preferences, but that hasn't worked.
Also, certain games we play crash suddenly and for no reason. We don't have this problem with other programs, just games. We're able to relaunch the game and play again, for the most part. Could that be a RAM problem and if so, why since we have a gig of RAM and these games don't call for that much?
Thanks for any and all help.

Hi Again Theresa!
I also had some updates, that needed to be installed on my MacBook, so I installed them this afternoon, to see if I could replicate your experience.
Sure enough, AOL hung on Initializing!
So after quitting, and force quitting AOL, I moved the files and folders listed below, to the Trash.
I then restarted the MacBook, ran Repair Permissions for good measure, and loaded AOL.
It took longer than usual, but it did finish starting!
In HD > Users > Home Account > Library > Preferences:
AOL a folder
com.aol.aol.plist a file
In HD > Users > Shared > America Online:
Access Numbers a file
Art Database a file
Bart Cache a folder
Buddy Icon Cache a folder
Disconnect Log a file
Your Feedbag a file
Session Diagnostics a file
If this procedure works for you, don't forget to reset the AOL Preferences.
Repost if you're not successful.

K7n2 Delta2 platinum crashes during games / video

after having problems with the 2nd Dimm slot on my Gigabyte board i gave that away and bought an MSI socketA board as per the subject line of the post, and transplanted all the hardware onto the MSi board.
rebuilt it to the folliowing spec.
AthlonXP 3200 (stock speed and voltage with coolermaster copper jet7a+ HSF)
3x 1Gb danelec DDR400 dimms (at 8 3 3 3 and 2.7Volts) P/N d1d400-064283N

BTC DVD rom CDRW (channel 0 slave)
BTC DVD+-rw dual layer (channel 1 slave)
PNY Nvidia Geforce6800GT 256Mb
Netgear 108mb wireless card
TV Card
Jeantech PSU JN120F-600AP12V2 rated 600W
3.3V - 30A, 5V - 45A, 1st 12V rail - 18A, 2nd 12V rail - 16A
booted, and built fine, puzzeled about 2.7Volts for memory, but i guess 3Gb sucks a bit of juice.
crashed during games like doom3, farcry, trackmania sunrise etc. even just playng video! pushing up the memory voltage to 2.8v from 2.6v seemed to help... it would just run a little longer before crashing. everything is stock speed and voltage except the ram. tried all kinds of combinations of dimms in slots, tried upping the CPU Vcore. all chipset and GFX drivers are the lastest versions (5.10 for the mainboard, and whatever the current one is for the GFX card).
totally stumped. what is going on? and if anyone says i should have checked the ram compatability chart, i shouldn't HAVE to check to see if my ram is compatable. it should just work. and i am definatly NOT ditching £330 worth of ram over a £50 mainboard. the dimms are all from the same batch, same manufacturer, etc etc, and no trouble all with my old gigabyte board.
also checked the hardware, pulled cards, swapped gfx boards - my GF6800GT, spare GF5900U, old GF5200, and my old faithfull PCI GF2MX400. same problem.
now heres the kicker. got home from work for another evenings troubleshooting, (windows and games would blue screen saying i should check the drivers, or the hardware, gfx card) and found that the PSU had died. really annoyed now. when i go buy a new PSU, any suggestions? or shall i take this MSI board outside and shoot it?
come back gigabyte, all is forgiven.

If those figures are right, I can't see the PSU as the reason for your problems.
About the temps, though I haven't got that experience myself, some temperature monitors read very high levels, while BIOS tells it as all is idle, and very idle. I mean, it could be the messenger.
Yep, I searched the Internet, quote 1 below. Thermaltake?! Maybe they have changed the specs? It is twice as expensive but moves half the air as to the Spire Whisperrock I've got (quote 2). I would if I were you, really go for an 80 mm HSF anyway.

Premiere Pro CC(V.8.0) sluggish and crashes during Playback

Issue:
Premiere Pro CC(V.8.0) extremely sluggish and crashes during Playback. My video won't play at all unless I render (which is no problem). I render all my clips and attempt to play it back. It usually will allow me to watch it the first time around. After that, the program freezes up or becomes extremely sluggish. I have even had a blank green screen pop up on my playback monitor. Sometimes the program will generate the message "A Serious Error has occurred" and will shut down. Other times, the program just locks up. I am not running any other programs except email.
Here is what I've tried:
Cleared all my cache files
Set my Mercury Playback set to "Software only"
Restarted the program and computer after doing the above.
Made sure I had no RGB Curves as an effect (as I did see that was an issue from other threads)
Deleted all unused footage
Deleted all render files and re-rendered everything.
I am editing footage that requires Ultra Key. I am using a Three-Way Color Corrector. My video isn't even 1 minute long, so I would think it would be easy to render and playback.
Here is what I am working on (I know I need an upgrade - was hoping to after I finished this client's project):
Macbook Pro 2008
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT 256 MB
Software OS X 10.9.3
HELP! This is seriously slowing my workflow and my project is due tomorrow. Any advice would be appreciated.

I just updated to 4.0.1 and I get the "We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We will try to open your tabs/windows when Firefox restarts" However, it just keeps popping back up, firefox never restarts!!!

This morning I had a popup on my Windows XP PC stating that the 4.0.1 update was available. I upgraded. now, i receive the following error: We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We will try to open your tabs/windows when Firefox restarts. You can submit crash report data, blah blah blah (which i have submitted several)
But, firefox DOES NOT ever open. It just pops back up with that same report window, over and over.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

Firefox crashes upon start with the error message: Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts.

I have tried to open firefox multipul times only to receive the error message:
We're Sorry
Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts.
To help us diagnose and fix the problem, you can send us a crash report.
When I send the report and try to restart firefox and see that I have several tabs open, but it quickly shuts down again before I can do anything other then glance at it.

do not know what's going on but the Firefox crashing, and is still crashing, and crashing back again ..

I was having the same problem.... But I keep forgetting that when you upgrade firefox... or it updates automatically... you need to right click on the firefox start up icon, go into properties, click on the compatibilities tab, and put a check in the "Run This Program As An Administrator" box, then hit apply. Start Firefox, and it should work OK. Problem is...each time you upgrade firefox and/or I think Adobe flash... you need to make sure that box is checked. This is on Firefox 15.0.1 with Adobe Flash 11.4.402.278 all up to date, Windows 7 64bit. If Firefox has Adobe flash add-on, it needs to run in admin mode or it will crash.

Firefox worked before, but now, when i try to start it, i get and error "We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed". I tried to reinstall it, to reboot, nothing helps.

Hi,
Firefox worked before, but one time my system crashed. When I rebooted, Firefox won't start anymore. All I got is a pop-up window, saying We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts. Problem is it never restarts. When I press Restart Firefox button, I get the same message. I tried to reinstall Firefox, to make a new profile, rebooted the system, nothing works. What can be done ? Thank-you.

Of course I checked firefox crashes. I searched and haven't found my problem. I used Firefox 5 when it happened, then, seeing it doesn't work no matter what I do, I upgraded to 6. The same problem. So it's not 5 or 6 related. Computer probably wrote something to hard disk when it crashed and now the file is corrupted and prevents Firefox from starting. I don't know what file (or part of the registry) is. I could erase everything, but that would mean I will lose every Firefox settings and I don't want that. Now I am using Google Chrome to write this. I miss my Firefox. :( What else can I do ?
This is the error I get when I try to start Firefox:

Installed Firefox on Windows 7, etting error "Firefox had a problem and crashed...couldn't find crash reporter's settings.

Error pop up:
Mozilla Crash Reporter
Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tables and windows when it restarts.
Unfortunately the crash reporter is unable to submit a crash report.

A Mozilla crash reporter appears. And says Firefox had a problem and crashed. What do I do?

Qosmio X300-14C - Crash during games due to overheating of the GPU

Hi everybody. I recently by a Qosmio X300-14C (core 2 Quad Q9000,? 9700 GTS), and during games, the temperature of the GPU increase till 100 C and the game crash.
So I buy a USB cooler for my X300. Now, the temperature increase ?only? till 96 97C. And there is no crash.
I try to put the last bios, the last Toshiba GPU driver, the last nvidia GPU driver, the same.
When I start Vista, without any application, the temp increase till 65C. The fan increase his speed, so the temp goes to 55. The fan stop running faster, and the temp start to increase again.
During games, the fan made the same noise when the temp is 65C or 95C. So I think the problem is here. There is no increase of the fan speed for very high temp. So only 2 speed: under 65C and over, that?s all.
I install ntune, but the speed of the fan dont move at all. For the GPU I have 20.000 RPM per minute! Is that right?
Some people have the same probleme?
Thanks!
Esteban.

I have the same problem with my Qosmio X300 (PQX32E-04H02WGR). Anytime I'm playing games there is a blackscreen and a tuneloop.
I wrote a email to the toshiba-service in germany and they told me to make a new installation of windows, to install the new bios 2.1 and the new beta driver from nvidia. Even this all did not solve the problem.
So I ring up the german hotline and they told me that there is nothing more to do and that they don't know that problem. They sayed I could try playing the games in a reduced resolution and perhaps this could solve the problem!!!??? Yes... I buy a very expensive gamer-notebook to play with it in a reduced resolution - nice idear.
After I told them that I think it could be an overheating-problem they want to get the notebook to find it out on my own risk (I have to pay a service-charge if it is no overheating problem).
We will see...

Formatting errors in Browser Preview and crashing during FTP Upload

Hey Y'all!
I have two errors that I cannot seem to fix.
1. The Browser Preview of my site does not match the design in the Design section. There is added blank space between elements when previewing in the browser. There are no elements of this page that are Footer Items and I've tried resetting the spacing in various ways to align everything as it is seen.
2. I thought that maybe the Browser Preview was the problem, and that my site would be fine once I uploaded it. Unfortunately, Muse stops responding on the same element during multiple upload attempts to my FTP Host (GoDaddy). I've tried reorganizing pages in my Plan environment, deleting all files on GoDaddy and uploading the entire file, uploading only modified files after a crash, and deleting/replacing/and relinking the asset in question. I've deleted two other assets that froze the upload earlier, thinking that they were the problem (scroll effects on Edge Animate files), but now it is freezing on a simple .png file.
I've had this screen for 15 minutes, now, with a spinning pinwheel. It is my 5th failed attempt in the past week to upload my site.
Any information about potential fixes would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping that I'm overlooking something simple.
All the best,
Paul

I'm sorry I can't help but I have a question...how did you find an ftp server? I'm new to iweb and could you use your help.
Thanks

GTX570 crashes during games/3D - tried everything

Hi,
I got a fresh computer :
Cooler Master CM690II Advanced
MSI P67A-C45
Core I5 2500K
Noctua NH-U12P
2x2 PC1600 GSKILL
MSI GTX570 1go
ANTEC HCG-620W
Win7 64bits
And since 1 week it worked perfectly. But today, it has suddenly got an error while playing SC2 and I could not launch and play a game or an application which involves 3D...
I can run the bench of Afterburner for hours and can't run SC2 or League Of Legends without any freeze (the game still continues as I can hear the sound).
I put Afterburner CC on 732 / Shader Clock 1464 / Memory Clock 1900.
When I attempted the windows bench, it freezes and the screen became black. When I put the speed fan% at 85, the windows bench worked perfectly. I tried on SC2/LOL but even with a speed fan% set at 85, it freezes before the black screen.
So, I have read to update the drivers, to rollback to another version, to try directX11/directX10 etc. It does not work !
Do you have any solution please ? Is it an hardware problem which requires to get the card back to the seller ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best Regards,
Ace

Hi Svet,
Thanks for your quick answer. I did :
Drivers removal with Driver Sweeper in Win7 Safe Mode;
Install lastest driver 275.50 (beta) from Nvidia;
Re-install DirectX11;
===> The windows bench was passed perfectly 7.5 (7.5/7.9/7.9/7.6 SSD FTW) ! There is a hope, I am going to try LOL (when the queue will be passed -1hour? :D) and SC2. Gonna give a feedback asap.
Thanks,
Ace
