System Crashs / Freezes in Games with Audigy 2 ZS b

Hello,
I can play any Game 5 min , then the Computer frezze and i must restart.
I tried any pci slots, no chance
My System:
AMD 64 3500+ Winchester
MSI K8N Diamond
Kingston HyperX 024MB
Geforce 6600GT
I follow the Tip with the System..from ACPI Uniprozessor to ACPI-PC and i disabled the Function in my Bios.
No Chance...Freezes in every Games :?(
Sry for my English i?m from germany ^^ but i hope anywhere can help me.

I'm having the same problem. At first I thought it was only in 5. analog mode, but I just had a game crash when using 2. settings. In 5. I get the lockup immediately even when playing an mp3.
windows xp pro
dell dimension 8200
2.0GH p4
768MB ram
s/b audigy 2 zs platinum
I just did a full OS reinstall (I was overdue on it, and having this problem crop up only gave me another reason to get it done). I ran all the utilities off the driver disk that came with the card, and then used the creative auto-update feature to download all the latest drivers. Conflict with recent windows update, perhaps?

System crashes when installing games via DVD Writer

When installing multi-disk games / programs pc freezes after putting in second disk - I have tried various other optical drives (IBM 8x CDROM - Pioneer 107 and of course NEC3500) but I have no joy - system just hangs and requires a power off/on to restart.
Tried SATA hard drive but still same problem - tried different cpu 2.8 Northwood - but still no joy.
It does not crash all the time and the games that are on it work fine for any length of time - I have PC alert installed and CPU and system temperature dont go above 51 C
I have installed the games on another pc and they work fine so its not the disks.
please help

Hmm, I hope you fixed your problem regarding installation..and maybe the freezing now is a totally seperate problem? Honestly, at this point...I would reformat everything, even update the BIOS if you haven't done so already. This time though, I wouldn't install anything except the bare essentials (WinXP w/o SP2...vid and sound drivers....no MSI extras) Then install a game or two and test out your crashing then.
I know it's a pain to reformat...but when things get rough, you reformat!
Good luck!

System crashes after waking; problems with distnoted, graphics chip error

I am running 10.3.9 on a Dual 1 GHz G4, with 1.5 GB SDRAM, a GeForce4 Ti 4600 LCD display, and a LaCie 1394 external drive. I have recently started to put my computer to sleep at night, rather than leaving it running 24 hours a day (I also installed sleepwatcher, to allow me to put my computer to sleep remotely, and anacron, to allow the nightly system maintenance jobs to continue to run). This was working fine for about a week, but for the last two days, when I woke my computer up in the morning, I got kernel panics after a few minutes. First some aspects of the display would start to get mangled (e.g. strange lines appearing, some text that I typed not showing up, icons in the dock looking speckled, etc.), then some applications would stop responding, and then a minute or so later I would get the feared kernel panic message ("You need to restart your computer" in multiple languages).
This problem only seems to occur after the computer has been asleep for a long time (I've only experienced it after it's been asleep for 12 hours or so, and not when it's only been asleep for a few minutes). The only thing I can think of that I've changed in the last few days is an AppleScript that mounts my external LaCie drive (using "do shell script diskutil mountDisk ...") before backing up my files - using FoldersSynchronizer - then putting my computer to sleep (before I was never UNmounting this drive, so I didn't have to mount it in the AppleScript - I was still using the script to back up the files then put the computer to sleep).
I have tried running Apple's Disk Utility (both to repair the permissions, and to repair the disk), DiskWarrior (to rebuild my startup disk), fsck, and TechTool Deluxe. None seemed to reveal any major errors except the "Surface Scan" in TechTool, which failed, presumably because of media defects in the disk (but my understanding is that fixing this would require reformatting my disk, something that I only want to do as a last resort).
My system.log shows the following, from the time I woke my computer to the time I restarted (I've highlighted some suspicious-looking lines). It seems like the problem might either be occurring in distnoted, or with the graphics chip. Any thoughts on how I can determine the cause of the problem?

Yesterday's crash looks similar, except that the Graphics chip error occurs 13 seconds before the distnoted error (rather than after the distnoted error), and rather than a crash of "MouseWorks Background" there was a crash of "WindowServer". A log file from a few days ago, when I woke my computer up without a crash, has one line that is now absent: Mar 23 08:48:43 nitrogen kernel: AFPSleepWakeHandler: waking up.

Any thoughts on what might be causing this problem? I will continue to test the effects of changing various aspects of my configuration, but since I can only get the problem to occur once a day (after my computer has been asleep for a while), it might take me a few days or weeks to track the problem down through blind trial-and-error.
Thanks!

After a little experimentation, I've managed to narrow the problem down a little, but still haven't resolved it. My computer still crashes almost every time I wake it up after a long sleep (multiple hours). Things work fine for a few minutes, but then some aspects of the display start to get mangled (e.g. strange lines appearing, text becoming distorted, etc.), then some applications start crashing and the system hangs. Sometimes I get a kernel panic, but not always - but I always need to reboot to solve the problem.
The errors in the system log files differ from crash to crash, but the one thing that seems to be consistent is that I get a "Graphics chip error". Is this usually a hardware problem, or can it be due to a software problem? Sometimes this graphics chip error is the first error to occur, although sometimes an application will crash a few seconds before the graphics chip error is recorded in the system.log.
In my original post, I suggested that the problem might be due to an AppleScript that mounts an external drive. I have since determined that this is NOT the cause of the problem.
Any thoughts on what might be going on?

EAX issues in games with Audigy SE, one way or the ot

Hello everyone. I hope I'm asking for help in the correct forum. If not, please forgive my noobishness. =)?I don't know what's wrong, but EAX in Bioshock has terrible issues. I have XPx64 SP2, Audigy SE and when my corvette was new, I obtained SoundBlaster drivers specifically for x64 from April 06. But these were terrible. In many games (f.e. FEAR) the sound was terribly distorted after a while with unbearable loud mechanic buzzing. I had a serious issue in Oblivion as it was rebooting my computer when I was loading a game and it took me a while until I realized that the x64 drivers are causing it. I got rid of them and installed reference drivers I bought on CD with the card and everything was fine. Now Bioshock came out. Overall the EAX works good in it, but I have some serious crackling. I tried to lower the sound channels/streams values in INI, but it didn't remove crackling. So I though I would update drivers again. Indeed, Creative has released unified drivers for XP and Vista last July. I installed them, launched Bioshock with EAX ON, loaded a game and ... AARGH, my ears! The sound was like zapping loudly and rapidly, a real acoustic horror. This means I have serious EAX issues with all newer drivers than the reference ones on CD, but even with the new ones I have crackling in Bioshock anyway, with addition of the audio distortion. I have tried to turn off EAX and use CMMS3D instead, with Reverb which doesn't seem to cause any problems in BS. The sound was deep and rich, except that the crackling and stuttering is still there!?No flawless sound for me. Is my Soundblaster physically borked or something... =(?

Well, I know that with SE, EAX processing is left for the CPU. You think this would be the source of problem?
I have no option to select from software or hardware mode in games' audio menu, devs normally don't do add that option to audio menus (at least I never seen it in any game yet). In games I can normally only select whether I want EAX or not, or just like in case of BioShock, whether I want to turn Reverb on or off, and it would be left for the drivers to call the CPU to process EAX.Message Edited by RogueKeeper on 0-6-200707:5 AM

Just had a complet system crash, had to reboot with power buton.

Dear all,
Some days ago I had a random Xorg crash while I was reading my emails. It happend just once, I though it was nothing. A few minutes ago, monitor went black, sound stopped, num lock light freezed (pressing the button didnt turned it off), alt+printscr+{b,o} did nothing.
How can I discover what caused this?
I also see some problems with how the image in monitor is showed, here one example of the botton of the page "create new topic" in this forum:
Some windows appears with repetitions when resized (I use awesome window manager). But I do not know if this is related to the crash problem.
Some logs:

Is this a hardware problem??

Using a vacuum cleaner around a computer is extremely bad advice. Vacuum cleaners build up static on them as part of their normal use. If you happen to make contact with a part of your computer and the vacuum that will discharge the static. Any static discharge has the potential to fry your computer components - they are very fragile chips when it comes to electricity. Do not use a vacuum on your computer. Compressed air cans are what you should be using however the entire line of thought that it may be dust build up causing a poor connection is suspect itself. You can make sure that the components inside your computer are well seated in their slots if you wish to explore that possibility. The suggestion of switching to the open-source driver is most likely to provide quality feedback. Be sure to read:

The open-source driver page.

Crashing/Freezing when rendering with PE11

I truly have had it with this software. It use to happen here and there and today totally freezing my laptop. EVERYTHING else is closed. It is a SONY PC 8GB Ram memory.
Have to force close the PC... restart and still nothing. 3 times.
Just about getting ready to give up and this is so frustrating.
Anything I should look for? Maybe?
Ara

ATR and others!
What a day...
Adobe uninstalled PE11 and re-installed it. With a slow connection it took about 6 hours! I have to learn to carry the disc or make a copy which I understand I can.
So today was someone different and he seemed to know much more. So... The project that was saved did not work. he managed [mirror mode] to close the program a couple times without freezing the laptop.
I went out and shot a very short TEST video with my Go Pro, did the settings and rendered it with the same settings. Not YouTube settings. It worked.
However, when initially I went to "file" + "new project" it froze... plain and simple. So we are going to talk some more tomorrow. Something is still off.
The stange part "ATR" is if you remember the above photos with all those files which you said you had never seen before [and Adobe said it is normal!], well, today they did not materialize.
I am seriously thinking about getting a Mac just for videos... and then again I read in another thread the same problem with someone else.
ALL my video files have now been moved to an external 1TB drive. So that is done.
I am now wondering why still I have many files in a PE11 folder??? Which is where the projects are saved and is it normal they are parked in my laptop. Should I delete those also? They are past projects I will not need. Or will that mess up the software?
I feel so ignorant and this will change this winter. Must if I am going to continue with videos.
Thank You...

System crashing repeatedly inherited project with avi

Recently installed FCP7/0 Started someone's project using mixed footage till we can replace with final picture. Final project is 1080i 25fps apple pro res.
Some footage in sequences have avi files. Could this be a problem

What that means is that you haven't told us anything about your the media specs. AVI means squat. It's a framework for all types of media in different codecs and resolutions and frame rates.
Also running a trial run of Flash on system could that be a problem
What's that mean? You're running a beta version of a Flash player? No, it shouldn't effect FCP at all.

Logic pro crashes / freezes after running about a hour after updating

Hope anyone can help me.
I use G5 powermac.
Had 10.3.x running with Pro6 with no problems (because of that I'm a big mac fan
I updated to Pro7.2.x and also to OSX 10.4.8 when the problem started
It's a strange problem, it seems something happens in my computer after a period of time.
Logic is always crashing / freezes after working with it for about 1 hour (not sure exact time). When I just leave my mac on for the same period of time not running logic and start up Logic later it also freezes imidiately. But only logicpro seems to have this problem. All other programs working well.
I need to restart my computer to start working again and then again after a period logic crashes again. I also installed logic express but express works well.
I already reinstalled everything a few times and also working with just the basic (no plugs, interal audio, no hardware, no extra memory ect.) didn't help. I did changed discdrives, internal memory ect.
Hope anyone has an idea what it can be
Thanks for helping

Updating to 5.0 & system crash

I recently received an email from itunes to update to 5.0. i went thru the steps and later that night had a system crash. i ended up with a dialogue box that indicated i had a sasser worm. when i reinstalled xp, i had lost my music library. does anyone know if i can get the music i purchsed "reloaded" without charge?
also, i bot a 2nd ipod prior to this and loaded it with my music library. the first ipod playbacks are very clear. the second ipod has a lot of static when i play it back. does that sound like the 2nd ipod is defective, or does the music "warp" over time when you synch the ipod?

Hi Joy
First if your music is all on your iPod, then here is how to transfer it back to your computer:

Second, try restoring the 2nd iPod:

But note that this will wipe everything from the iPod's hard-drive so make sure you have all you music files back on your computer before doing this.

System crash - now external drive problem

Hi,
I recenlty bought a Maxtor OnetouchIII firewire external drive because my disk was getting full. I transfered a lot of files to it and freed about 70gb of space. Shortly afterward I started to get a system crash on start-up - with the grey box saying I need to re-start. This would not go away so I ran a the system check cd (OK) then re-booted from a back-up drive I keep. This seemed to fix the problem and the system worked again when I switched back to it. Then the problem happened again and rebooting from the back-up did not work.
I had to reinstall 10.3 then update again to 10.3.9, which I had before. Everything seems fine now apart from one annoying problem - I cannot drag files from the Maxtor drive onto Apps, which I could do before. They will only open from within apps.
Does anyone know how to solve this trivial but very annoying problem?? Also - is it possible the drive caused my crash, or is it a coincidence?
Thanks for any help.
Theo

I figured it out.

MSI Neo4 Platinum with MSI GF6600GT PCI-e Freezes on games

I'm having this serious problem that my new build system freezes on games. Sometimes I can play for a few hours and sometimes I can play only a few minutes before the system freezes completely. Only a hardware reset helps in this case.
This is my hardware setup:
MSI Neo4 Platinum
MSI GF6600GT PCI-e
2 x 512MB DDR400 memory(in dual mode)
AMD 3200+ 64-bit processor
Sound Blaster Audigy
DVD Writer
Floppy
I'm using Windows XP SP2
What I tryd:
Tested with other RAM modules, same trouble
Reinstalled windows xp, same trouble
Tryd all kind of driver versions, same trouble
Flashed bios to 1.9, same trouble
Put a Zalman Cooler on the Video card (temperature now between 40 and 60 degrees in games instead of 80-100 degrees), same trouble
This is where my questions come:
There are two hardware components I cannot switch to try:
The mainboard and the Video card. Whitch one is most likely to be broken??
I have read in the manual of the mainboard that the PSU should have at least 18A on the 12+ signal. My PSU only haves 15A there. While I doubt this results in problems like this I still like to know if it does!
Please help me out on this one!

Have tried older drivers for you GFX, I find the late 6XXX work better for most games. You mite want to check the system is stable with:
Prime95, Memtest86, 3D mark 03 & 05.
You mite be having the same problems as "easlern", his games would lock up. This was due to to a problem with onboard sound Sound Blaster.

At that moment I didn't even know what was actually on my board, but I knew it was a generic card I was probably never going to use anyway, and I didn't recall getting any sound card updates for this board. So I looked in device manager, and bingo: AC97 device under multimedia devices. I immediately did two things to completely eliminate the rascal: updated the driver for it and promptly went to BIOS and disabled the sucker. Also disabled SATA group 2 (slots 3 and 4), the Marvell LAN because I only use one ethernet anyway (the nVidia one, which from what I was reading, was probably the more robust of the two), both RAID controllers (actually I had disabled them earlier to skip the annoying RAID setup screen), and put the PCIe bus back to 100MHz (rogue: I was wondering about possible damage over time with this too high too, so I was glad to try setting it back to normal!) Also ran Driver Cleaner to rip out the detonators even though I was putting in another nVidia, and then put in the 6800GT and installed drivers. (In case you were interested, my 3dMark05 score went from 3511 under the 6600GT to 4939 under the 6800GT! I now run in 1280x1024 at max effects and I'm completely spoiled in one night already! )
Anyway, one of these myriad, desperate attempts must have worked because I get neither audio stutters (should have been a freaking clue in the first place, duh!) nor lock ups.
Since this is the first PC I've built, I was certain I had to have screwed something up hardware-wise or found some combination that had incompatibilities. If it WAS just the freaking sound card driver I'm going to leave this place in shame and never post again! In my defense, the MSI Update utility didn't show any updated sound drivers for me, and I had assumed it was being pre-empted by my SB Live in any case.
I was convinced this problem was (if it is indeed gone) a video card issue but I can't say it ever was without putting the 6600 back in and running for several hours. I'm going to bet it was the AC97 though because nVidia boards have always been fantastic for me, I haven't had any actual motherboard issues, my RAM and CPU are just fine, and Win2k has never let me down.
Don't assume anything, though, I've learned.
One thing to note: when I was checking out the AC97, I noticed it was *sharing* IRQ 20 with the nForce NIC detector (might have a different name, I can't remember right now). Apparently this is a capability of Win2k to share IRQs but it kind of added to my suspicions anyway.
I'll let you know how the next few sessions go and whether this issue is still an issue

Windows 7 full-system crash with Flash 10 audio

I upgraded from xp home to 7 pro, and now find the computer crashing (freezing) in Windows 7, either Firefox or IE8, when using Flash to play audio. Video is OK (with hardware acceleration turned off). All audio enhancements are turned off. Granted, this is an old computer, but the same version of Flash in the same versions of Firefox and IE work fine on the same hardware in XP.
Problem OS is Windows 7 Pro, up to date on patches including drivers, 32-bit
Firefox 4.0.1 or IE 8
Flash WIN 10,3,181,14
Hardware summary:
Pentium D 945
2G RAM
2 500G hard drives (one PATA with the old XP system; one SATA with Windows 7 clean install upgrade; dual-boot as installed by Windows 7)
Visiontek ATI X1300 video
Motherboard Realtek audio
Bottom-fisher DSL (1.5 down) Internet connection
The freeze is guaranteed when listening to Pipedreams audio (for instance: http://pipedreams.publicradio.org/www_publicradio/tools/media_player/popup.php?name=pipedr eams/2011/05/16_pipedreams_128&starttime=00:00:00&endtime=00:59:07). If other network activity uses a lot of bandwidth (large pictures, etc.) the crash happens sooner, but even if completely left alone it will crash before a 1-hour program segment is finished.
Youtube works fine. BBC iPlayer works fine. Capital Public Radio web stream works fine. All use Flash.
Sometimes (but not always) blue-screen type errors will be logged on restart (hard reset - power switch or reset button - is needed). The most common are processor timer errors, with very occasional bus errors instead. However, a blue screen never appears; the system just freezes.
There are a couple of similar topics from 2010, but neither that I found in the search was quite the same (involved video as well as audio), and both seemed to be helped by disabling hardware acceleration and audio enhancements -- that doesn't work for me. Any other ideas? Note again: this does not happen on the same hardware running XP Home (fully patched) with the same versions of Firefox, IE, and Flash.

BSOD's are never good. They point to a problem much bigger and deeper than any software issues.
When XP came out eleven years ago, people were astonished at how much processor it took to handle the GUI vs Windows 98. Processors an RAM have upgraded a lot since then. It was worse with VIsta, even on newer systems. Seven was a step in the right direction, but I'd guess that your old computer (your words, not mine) isn't up to the task of running Windows 7.

T410s Optimus: Crashing/Freezing/Bugs in association with Minidock+External Displays

Hi There.
Because my new Thinkpad T410s 2912WA6 (Optimus) and it's Bugs Features are quite time-consuming while i would need a reliable system to get things done, (that is why i spent over 1800 Euros on dock+thinkpad), i have to make it short.
1) optimus driver (nvidia/intel) crashing freezing bluescreening while docked and full hd displays over dvi attached, even still in 8.17.12.6802/8.15.10.
8.17.12.5738/8.15.10.2154 or whatever C:/SWTOOLS contains and what was installed on delivery works fine. plz fix.
2) want to see boot screen of my t410s optimus while docked on dvi display attached to dock. not possible for now. plz fix.
3) i guess docking station is designed to free some space on my desk --> dock + thinkpad far away from desk --> want to wake thinkpad up by pressing a key on my usb wireless keyboard attached to dock --> does not work --> pain in my back, pain in my mind.
plz fix.
okay...maybe too short, here some more detailed information:
1) Most annoying bug is the new always everything crashing nvidia optimus driver. As discussed in many other threads, there are rough problems with high DPC, freezes, blue screens. For me, i could identify nvlddmkm.sys as source of high DPC, while i had no time or not the knowledge to investigate on freezes or bluescreens.
In Fact: My T410s, bought in november 2010 was working fine, and i had no problems aswell as i started using a mini dock plus series 3 in combination with 2 Full HD 24'' Displays on the 2 DVI Ports on the Minidock.
In March 2011, Lenovo Update Software installed an update on the Graphics Driver (this may not mean the Driver Update was released at this date, i just ran the Update Software for the first time) was installed, the corresponding line in the Installation Protocol is:
"Thinkpad Video Features[NVIDIA NVS 3100M Optimus] for Windows 7 64bit | 8.17.12.5738/8.15.10.2202"
Interestingly i think the Nvidia driver version-nr didnt change, while the intel hd driver-nr was 8.15.10.2154 before.
From that day on, with increasing frequency, win7 started to freeze, in random situations but almost always while using it docked with 1 or 2 24" displays attached on DVI, nearly never when undocked. Aswell i just saw a black screen when switching youtube videos to full screen, same issue described by other users. The Flash-fullscreen issue was fixed after installing 8.17.12.6802, inoffically posted by Jamez in another thread. However, the freezing continued and i got a blue screen everytime i sent my T410s to Standby Mode while docked, no problem undocked.
After that, i luckily found out that under C:\SWTOOLS all drivers thet were installed on delivery can be found. I installed the "old" nvidia and intel hd drivers, since that, THANK THE LORD, no freezing anymore, everything works fine.
What i want to tell here: For me its ok to use these old drivers for the rest of my life and i dont have any motivation to give any grahpics driver update another chance, but i guess there are other users out there, struggling with this issues so you might better send them working drivers for optimus/nvidia systems.
2) an annoying fact aswell, and after searching google and this forum for "t410(s) optimus boot display" i dont believe that this is an individual error for me that can be resolved by recovery or similiar suicide attempts. Short and crisp: it is impossible to see the boot screen on my external Displays when Thinkpad is docked and Optimus is activated.
Of course, there is a BIOS setting, allowing me to select the Boot Display, and it proudly tells me i can selected "Digital 1/Digital 2" for the Dock-DVI Ports, but when selecting this Option, i only have the choice between VGA, Internal, and HDMI (Digital on Thinkpad). No Digital 1, no Digital 2. As others told me, Digital 1/2 can be selected as soon as you switch from "optimus" to "descrete". But guess what, i bought a optimus system so i want to use it. I hope this can be fixed by a new BIOS-Version or any other kind of update.
3) obviously, it is not possible to wake up a sleeping and docked t410s remotely, especially by wireless keyboard. First thing is, of course, i DONT want to attach the usb keyboard receiver directly to the thinkpad/yellow usb port. If i do so, i dont need a docking station anymore because i have this docking station for fast undocking without removing extra cables. Second interesting thing: Despite of my wish to have no cables directly attached to my thinkpad, i tried it on the yellow usb slot. my usb receiver was working (blinking) while thinkpad was in standby mode, but nevertheless, it didnt wake up on pressing keyboard/mouse. i have set the right settings in device manager.
So, excuse my bad english, im from germany so it is quite hard for me to write down all this in english. I would appreciate comments from other users, experiencing the same problems/bugs, aswell as what lenovo staff has to say about it. thanks for your attention.

ThinkMIke/Lenovo staff:
Did you ever solve the problem? I am experiencing something similar. Somewhat similar hardware setup: T410 w/ optimus + Minidock 3 + two external monitors (using DVI and VGA ports); laptop closed. Long ago, I "bit the bullet" and plugged wireless keyboard/mouse dongle into laptop USB port to enable waking from sleep via keybaord/mouse...painful, but used to suffice; would not work with dongle plugged into Minidock. More recently, I have been fighting Optimus bugs that cause my system to freeze every ten minutes or so. Recently tried switching off Optimus in BIOS. This eliminates the freezes, but now my system cannot be woken from sleep at all, and once "sleeping" eventually shuts down. (In fact, the system doesn't seem to really sleep...the fan seems to continue to run.) This problem now persists even if I turn Optimus back on in BIOS...I seem to have moved the system to a new and different unstable state. Any insights?
Thanks!
Eric

Hi guys,
I've had my computer for over a year now and any time I play a game I get the blue screan of death and or send error report. Then Microsofts site tells me that the system crash was the result of a device driver. I have been having sound problems since day one and did not want to deal with so I just delt with it, NO MORE!!! I have had popping, crackling, and NPC's lips moving with no sound for a few seconds, Oblivion is the only game where I got popping or cracking sounds and missing sound FX. I've uninstalled the drivers and recently updated the sound drivers with no fix, I've updated each new driver 3 times and still problems no solved, but every time it say a problem has accurd with Oblivion and needs to close or SilentHunter 3 or doom 3 or Fear or any game I have Ive had enough!!! What is my problem? The only device I have ever had a problem with is my sound card. I also herd other people having the same simptems I have had and some say reduce your hardware accelleration. Please help!

O ya my spec P4 3.0 630 presscott, GB 533 Ram, SATA hard dri've 80GB, 6xDVD ROM, 7800 GTX 256MB, Antec truepower 550Watts with PCI EXPRESS CONNECTOR. I have a rock solid 45-75 FPS on Oblivion @ 280x024 75HZ with settings at mostly high, shadows off, witch really helps!
