    vista COAS freezing problem

    I loaded the latest update (sept 19 i think) of my video driver and still nothing. so I give up. I love the game but restarting every half hour (or so, sometimes less) gets very old quick. although I still think that it is a conflict with my video card.

    vista COAS freezing problem

    I forced the video card fan to 75% which kept the temps down some. but it still froze. so heat is not the problem. oblivion has been running around 130 deg f with no problems.

    vista COAS freezing problem

    i saw that COAS was listed as supporting 3D? would this be causing problems as I don't have that turned on in my card?

    vista COAS freezing problem

    I have the standard fan a the rear. I have a fan pulling air in at the front. there is a fan on the card that vents the air out the back of the case. I also added a fan inside blowing directly on the card. my case also has a big mesh hole on the side. I shouldn't have to open it. that said this...

    vista COAS freezing problem

    well, I think its a video card problem. I reported that my card only got to 107. i was reading the wrong line. it maxed out at 141. also I noticed that while in the f2 menu the temp drops to normal levels (I reported that it didn't freeze in that menu yet) That is with the graphics maxed. I will...

    I used msconfig to remove all startup items that weren't needed (updated, google this, adobe that) and still no luck.

    vista COAS freezing problem

    that might be the ticket. that will tell me if the problem is with my hardware or software. I hope its not a problem with my video card.

    install problem -- no room on disk

    that wasnt the problem. I have plenty of disk space. it was a random windows vista problem. I tried installing a few days later and it worked fine.

My log book says that I just need to board his schooner. i have traveled to each of the bays and I do...

    hottest it gets is 107 and it doesn't freeze at that temperature reliably. I also upgraded my video driver. still no luck.

    vista COAS freezing problem

    that was the very reason that I got this card in the first place. my old one was getting too hot. I will keep an eye on this but I also have run oblivion, risen, guld2, fallout3 and others all at max graphics without any problems. I still think that it is a conflict with something I just can't...

    vista COAS freezing problem

    still hangs up. the game did turn some back on though. I installed the big mod and it seems to work a little better. its a little more sporadic. sometimes I can play for around an hour before it freezes. I have noticed that it hasn't froze in the f2 menu yet.

    vista COAS freezing problem

    just the game locks up. and I do run the file from the game folder. I am the administrator. I also have the game set to run as admin and to run in xp sp2 compatibility mode. to get out of the game I have to crtl-alt-del to get the task manager and kill COAS. I have waited to see if it will just...

    vista COAS freezing problem

    I tried downloading directx9 and not really sure what I got. sdk? but it didnt work. I have a lot of programs running in the background. as far as I know most of them are windows and are needed. I tried to stop a few of the updater programs with no luck. if you have no ideas as to what conflicts...
