Computer lockups 3d games

Anyone having any problems with lockups in 3d games only?
I've been watching the board concerning the 780 and 790 chipset board problems, specifically the problems with these chipsets playing video. I'm trying to figure out if my problem is related somehow. I updated the bios to 1.2 in my P7N Diamond and the problem did seem to lessen, but not go away.
I'm an Oblivion fan at the moment, and the game will play fine at a 1152x864 resolution with a very rare lockup. If I up the resolution to 1440x900 a lockup is guarenteed within a fairly short time span, anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour. Temperature is not a problem, video card at 60 degrees max, case temperature at 45 degrees at load. Video card(s) is/are not a problem as I have tested them both in another system. Currently only running a single video card. Power supply runs fine in a second box. Memory tests fine using Memtest. Before the bios upgrade even this resolution didn't run well.
I'm thinking a beta bios? Any opinions? Specific hardware should be in my signature.

Still getting locks in 3d games. If I'm quick, as soon as the game locks up, I can ctrl alt del to Task Manager and kill the game off to get back to Windows. If I wait more than a few seconds, it will lock the whole computer up. Windows is solid, or at least, I haven't experienced any problems with simple Internet browsing, email, and the like.
Initially I set up 5-5-5-15 at 2.1 volts but left it at the Auto setting of 800Mhz. I've just tried 5-5-5-18 at 800Mhz and it lasted a little longer. Would setting this to 'Manual' but leaving it unchanged of 800 have any affect?
To verify I am setting the proper parameters in BIOS, these are my current timings. Cas Latency (CL) 5, tRCD 5, tRP 5, tRAS 15 (18), tRRD 5, Memory Timing 2T. All other settings are set to 'Auto'.
Any advice would be welcome. I'm out of things to try really.

Computer restored lost games

I restored my computer after a game I bought would not close even when I turned the computer off. after the restore 2 weeks ago yesterday I noticed (a preset game chess titans for windows vista) is not there. I contacted Microsoft and they said I should contact lenovo for an installation disk because the game corrupted some files and that it was a system problem the preset game is lost. I hope someone can help

did you try to re-install it?
un-check the games restart your computer an re-check it :
control panel > programs > turn windows features on or off

Computer lockup - the problem found

Problem: computer lockup after a while of non-use
i discovered the problem very quickly and would like to let you know that the problem lies in the “screen saver “ program that comes loaded on the Mini Mac:
i used the “SHELL” and as set after an hour it would come on , but has difficulty getting out of it once a keyboard or mouse is touched. A corrective update must be written to remedy this issue

I have never performed a backup with video files, as I don't have any.
Nevertheless, based on the way the PSE Organizer works, I am relatively certain that the tags for videos are included in the backup (as well as the tags for photos). I'm also relatively certain that both photos and videos are included in the backup. (Note: I am referring to backups made via the Organizer command File->Backup Catalog)
But the only way to know for sure is to cross your fingers and try it.
Best to start a new thread since your question has nothing to do with the original topic (will a new computer fix the problem)

Computer Lockup

Whenever I turn on my computer with windows, the computer just locks up at the login screen. Even with a fresh Windows install, it will still freeze. After troubleshooting, it seems to have something to do with the burning software (Roxio AND Nero both seem to freeze the computer) and the SCSI drivers.
Is anyone else having this problem and know how to fix it?
update*
apparently it may NOT be burning software because i have uninstalled all of them and i am still getting the lockup at the login
I do know it has SOMETHING to do with windows because it works perfectly fine under linux

the first startup works so i load the drivers - still works on the boot
then i install applications (photoshop, antivirus, etc.) - and then it stops working
awkward thing is, i had it working for a year, and then it suddenly started freezing about 2 weeks ago without any changes whatsoever.....
and i can get in SOMETIMES (about 50%) or use safemode
"the first startup works so i load the drivers - still works on the boot

seems that happend several times you must already know the answer or almost. try rolling back(uninstall last installed app.) and see what caused it. or make new clear installation and test after each software installed. i have suspect Raxio....
also can be everythink else.. like PSU, overheating, memory problem, mistyped bios parameter causing instability and so on...

Macbookpro 15" medio 2010 lockup on games.

Hi All,
The problem i have is this, my Macbookpro is locking up (black screen, and hearing a repeating sounds and HD hangs) when i want to play a game (world of warcraft, diablo 3 for example). The moment of hanging seems to come more frequent and faster after starting the game up. Only thing i can do is force a restart with the on/off button.
I have read about graphic card problems from Macbooks around this time, and did the driver update http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1475 without succes.
Any more people that have a possible solution?
About one year ago i did start having this problem when installing the first game, thinking it was a software problem i just ignored it and did use another computer to play the game, now that i wanted to try other games i noticed i had the same problems. I seem to have no more warranty....
This is the error message after restarting the Macbook:

HT201272 How can i authorize my computer for installing games

wheb im trying to install games to my ipod it shows that you are not authorized in this computer

You can authorise your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes (if you are using iTunes 11 on a PC then Alt-S should get the Store menu to appear) e.g.

Computer Lockups

Ok well I can't quite figure out whats making my compute lock up. Now I'm running Ubuntu Linux and I've installed the lastest drivers (100.14.11) and it does it in any OS I install. I have Kubuntu installed also as a back up. Now I'm thinking its my video card but I don't have another video card to test it out with. So is there anyway I can test the card? Also I've looked into getting a new card I'm stuck between two cards. One is a MSI 8600GTS and the other is a MSI X2600XT

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127284
Can you help me out. i don't know which one is better or not. I know the GDDR4 is going to be a big thing and the 512 is going to be another one. I'm just looking for something powerful enough to run any of the games out there with some good nut for under $200.

I don't know if it locks up under windows as I don't run windows. Its never locked up before under linux though. I'll try to ping it from another computer. I don't know SSh is?
BTW which card is better? Just so I can order one when I get the money.

How to sync iPad to new computer/macbook maintaining game data

Hi,
my wife is using an iPad (1)
Sofar she has synchronized with iTunes on a windows machine.
Right now I want to move to iTunes on a new macbook.
I have synced on the old (windows) computer.
I have 'transferred purchases' on the new macbook.
(Apple id's are the same)
All apps are now on the iPad and the macbook.
Now we need to sync the iPad and iTunes on the macbook.
Question: what will happen with all game data.
Apparantly all apps (250 games!) will be removed and replaced from /on the iPad.
But what will happen to to game data/status?
Will all the work in (e.g.) the 'Smurf city' be wiped out?
Is the a way to keep/remain/save the game data?
thx in advance for your tips and hints

You want to restore from the backup in order to restore the app data and game saves.
I have posted this a number of times. You have done some of this already, but this is a "start from scratch" list ofinstructions for syncing with a new computer. Anything that does not apply - like transferring music or photos at the end - just ignore.
1. Authorize the computer.
2. Turn off auto sync in iTunes
3. Transfer purchases
4. Backup the iPad
The following was copied from this thread. This is essentially what you want to accomplish.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
1) Without connecting your iPad to your new computer, start iTunes. Click on iTunes. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
2) Now connect your iPad to your computer and start iTunes.
3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your computer, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on iTunes / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
Read this thread and the support links as well. There are apps that you can purchase that will allow you to transfer photos from the iPad to your computer. Look at Photo Transfer App in the App store and you can search for others as well.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/13016026#13016026
This support site will help you with transferring iTunes music to your new computer.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
One final note - you may want to leave auto sync turned off - but that is totally up to you. I never did use auto sync.

Flash Player 10 shutting off computer during Zynga games. In simple language Please!

hi my computer is a XP Home Edition 2002 Service Pack 3
32 bit with a Amd Sempron (tm) Processor
3000+ 1.80 GHz 15 G.B. Ram with
adobe flash player 10,1,51,95, running Avast 5.0.594 with a firewall. Running Internet Explorer 8.
While playing Zynga games i hear a whirring sound my computer locks up and shuts down.
can u help? in simple language please as I dont understand most computer talk.
Thanks Deb (any help would be appreciated)

Thank you for providing all the information.
The sound that you hear indicates a potential hardware problem. We may need to look at the Event Logs to see if Windows has recorded any information on what exactly is causing it.
You will need to open the Event Viewer, then find the recorded event at the time from the last emergency shutdown, then provide us with that information.
Article on how to use the Event Viewer: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308427/
I know this is all a bit technical; let us know if you need more guidance to find the cause of your problem.

How do you sync w/ a new computer without loosing game data etc.?

I recently switched from a Windows computer to a Macbook Air, and then.. i tried to sync my iPad with iTunes, and this is what it says:
I like the order my apps are in on my iPad, and I don't want to risk loosing any of the apps data, all my music, all my videos, and all my photos (But i have my photos saved on a USB drive)
I already transfered my purchases with File > transfer purchases
But, is that enough to verify that I won't loose the order of my apps on my device or loose the data?
Please respond... thx

I am sorry if I wasn't clear in my earlier post. I already knew how to transfer purchases. I had movies that wasn't originally from iTunes on my new computer that I wanted to transfer to my iPad, but then this message popped up:
It wouldn't transfer with "Transfer purchases".
I transfered my apps, music, etc. to the new computer already. But I am afraid that I will loose my game data... I also did home sharing. The iPad is synced with my old computer's library. Is transfering purchases from the iPad to iTunes enough to ensure me that I won't loose my game data?
Thank you for responding...

Computer Freezes during games - crash logs included - help?

My PowerMac has been crashing during WC3 and Halo (1.5.2) for the last six months or so. I though it might be hardware, but I switched out my PM Dual 2.0 for a PM Dual 2.5 with my Dad, and the only things I kept were the hard drives and airport card. Still they freeze and force restart. I just erased my hard drive and installed Leopard from scratch. SAME PROBLEM, even though in most cases I reinstalled fresh versions of software (and only a limited amount). I pulled Halo and WC3 from my backup instead of reinstalling, knowing that I've reinstalled them each several times previous from scratch and still had the same problem. Can you help?
Thanks

I've got 2.5 gig of memory, both games are Leopard compatible (and had the exact same problem in Tiger), and all have current patches. I also own both games, so I know it's not about downloading some faulty bits for P2P or anything like that. I also have 75 GB of available memory out of a possible 300 GB, so it's not that there's a lack of space causing problems. As I mentioned, I erase/installed a fresh OS. I've turned off airport, alternated between hard drives, tried creating a new user account, even ejected my backup hard drive in case that was gumming things up. Permissions and repairs are A-OK.
I finally found a thread that suggested there some issue with dual processors and 3D games, though primarily the people who were talking about it were Intel users, many of whom were playing games through BootCamp and Parallels. Nothing helpful there.
Any more thoughts?

Computer restarts during games

Okay heres my specs:
CPU - AMD athlon 3200 newcastle
RAM - Corsair CMX512 512 MB DDR400
Motherboard - MSI K8t fisr2
videocard - Radoen 9800 128 mb
After about 5 minutes of playing Warcraft III, my computer restarts. I tested it several times with the same result. The computer also restarts randomly at other times.
My CPU idles at about 39 degrees Celsius, and I did some burn in testing for an hour or two, and it went steady at 55 degrees. This seems pretty normal, I think. So, could it be the RAM thats causing it to restart?
Thanks

HP Computer Lockup

Hey,
I have a HP envy desktop pc. Everything was great and fine until now. This morning i tried to boot it and it would go through everything ( HP loading screen) but when it got to the part were It would load windows 8, it just gives me a black screen with my cursor that I can move. I have tried restarting it multiple times and have blown through all air vents. I have also removed all USBs ( I only kept in mouse and keyboard USB) and it still has the same problem! Please help!

Hello 14rshanahan,
I understand that you are not getting anything on your display when the computer boots.
Check to make sure that you only have two cables going to the back of the monitor.
One for the power and one for the display.
What you are explaining to typical of two display cables being connected.
Let me know how everything goes.

Network connection loss/Computer lockups

Hi,
This is the setup i have:
Cable modem -> Airport Dual Band II -> Netgear gigabit switch which has multiple computers, VoIP phone, Apple TV and a 2nd Airport acting as a repeater.
My computer locks up or freezes randomly and I am trying to see where the issue can be, the netgear switch or the airport connected to the cable modem. Has any one experienced similar issues?
would it be better if I plugged the modem into the netgear and then plug everything else in to that switch instead?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the discussions!
Questions and a comment.
The 2nd Airport acting as a "repeater"...is this plugged into the Netgear ethernet switch, or is the device extending your network using wireless?
Is the 2nd Airport being used for wireless only? Which device is this?
+would it be better if I plugged the modem into the netgear and then plug everything else in to that switch instead+
No, that won't work. Your router must be the device connected to the modem with the switch coming after the router.

T23 Screen and computer lockup

Have a T23 and after a while the screen locks up and fades away, but nothing works.Turned unit on side with only power cord, and it seem to run longer before it crashed. If I put it in normal position it crashed immediately, but on the side with dvd down it worked longer. I removed all the FRUS and reinstalled one at a time, but could not isolate the problem to a particular FRU. I noticed when I could see the fan that it started at startup but after a while was stopped. It can be replaced but is it supposed to run all the time cooling the system or does it start and stop. I do have a two fan chill pad underneath but even that and an external fan blowing on the corner with the chip does not seem to help.
Any advice?

To address your last statement first... the fan operation you describe at power up is normal. It should start spinning when the system is turned on and then stop within 15 seconds or so. If the T23 runs longer with the fan exhaust port up (Ultrabay side down), that could imply that cooling efficiency is the remedy, but it could also be that it relives stress on the motherboard in that position. My guess would be that there's an intermittent connection somewhere in the motherboard.
When you say that the system "crashes", does that mean that you only lose the video or does the system actually power down?
