-=miniSITH=- Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 As some of you know I have been having problems in game. The game would be running fine, no lag or anything, and then... BAM ...The game frezzes(like when I was killing the Kryat and froze twice). I don't get kicked, the game just freezes and i can't even get back to the desktop. I didn't know if it was a problem with the game or a problem with my computer but since no one else seems to be having these problems Im guessing that its the piece of *edit* I'm looking at right now. Well, I figured that I could deal freezing up every now and then but yesterday problems got worse, much worse. Now I can not even get in-game. While the game is loading the game freezes. I tried running a full scan, ran a virus scan and I even tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling it and had no luck:( So unless some miracle happens it looks like I'm not getting ingame anytime soon. I guess I'm either going to have to wait for my parents to buy a new computer(could be a few months could be over a year:( ) or figure out how to buy my own computer, which isnt very likely being as I only have like $300 have no job and could only get a job that pay min wage b/c Im only 16. So for now, This is a good bye to SWG and all the friends I have made. I WILL be back, sooner or later:confused: I just hope they dont delete my Character. Now wtf am I going to do over Spring Break, Its like 30 Degrees outside and TV blows during the day:confused: Well anyway, See you soon(I hope), -Keldor Ozatras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackrabbit Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Oh god, this sounds exactly like the problem I was having . Soon you might not even be able to browse the forums . If you know how, next time your machine freezes and you restart, go into the CMOS and check the CPU temp. If it's running close to 60 C... /hug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=miniSITH=- Posted April 7, 2004 Author Share Posted April 7, 2004 /hug Grask /hug Corzip Grask did you have to get a new computer? Anyway, when I told my dad what was happening he said that ever since we reformatted the computer(I had the DOOM virus or something like that) that it hasnt run the same and he has had problems. ^Whats that supposed to mean?? I have no clue, but it could be good. I was looking on ebay and i keep seeing these things you can bid on, on how to get an Alienware Area-51 computer for only $175, it just takes a month or two to get, and you could buy the info on how to do it for like 5 dollars. :Wonders wiether he can actually get an amazing computer for $175: /shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackrabbit Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Yeah, let me explain what happened... On the motherboard (the big...green board that everything is mounted on) of a computer there are these things called capacitors (they look like batteries standing on end). These capacitors hold excess energy. If one of them blows, the other ones have to take over for it, which isn't good. If one blows, eventually they'll all blow. This also makes heat build up, as there's extra electricity dancing around... My CPU overheated somehow. It got so hot that it started blowing the capacitors that were sitting next to it. This in turn killed the entire machine one part at a time; cause there was too much heat and excess energy. (This is what I think happened anyway). This all came about one day when I decided to defrag my hard drive. After that day my computer started freezing all the time. I finally figured out the problem when we had a LAN party one night. All those games were too much for my machine, and it kept freezing over and over again. Defragging a hard drive is a big process for the CPU, so I think that's what sent mine overboard. In your case, it could have been when you reformatted your machine. Installing Windows is one of the most intense things you can do to your machine, because it goes through and tests every piece of hardware. A blown capacitor has a bubbled up top. It wont be like bubbling over (most of the time), but instead of a U top, it will be an 'n' top, if you know what I mean. You should open up your machine and see if any of your capacitors are messed up. If they are, you need a new machine . As far as a $178 Alien Ware machine, I don't know anything about that. If it's a genuine deal, it's probably because it's stolen. So the question you have to ask yourself is, are you ok with buying a stolen Alien Ware machine ... ...I'd have no problem with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=miniSITH=- Posted April 7, 2004 Author Share Posted April 7, 2004 Thanks for the info Grask, Ill have to check that out when my dad get home b/c if i screw up looking in my computer it will be my a** If you guys wanna check out these deals on eBay for yourself heres the link: http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=pf&sbrftog=1&from=R10&catref=C6&query=&sacategory=-100%26catref%3DC6&a14=26449&a26444=26558&a12=26565&a25710=26569&gcs=1504&pfid=1810&basicformname=forminput&reqtype=2&alist=a14%2Ca26444%2Ca12%2Ca25710&pf_query=&pf=+Show+Items+&sapricelo=&sapricehi=&soloctog=9&attrfilters=&sosortproperty=3%26sosortorder%3D1 the first about 10 are the deal that i spoke of before The only reason I think they arent stolen is because there are muliple people holding these auctions, but who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-=miniSITH=- Posted April 8, 2004 Author Share Posted April 8, 2004 Right before I couldnt get in game I won two auctions on the forums. I really want to get the items but I can't go get them myself. So I was wondering if someone could pick them up for me and then I will pay them back when I get ingame. If anyone would like to help leave a message here. Ohh by the way the total for all the stuff is 500k so if you dont want to help I understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose_Of_Mercy Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 I'll pick up the shiz for you. Whats the guy I should contact? Try deframenting too, helps for lots of stuff. And if nothing works go for the hammer. Sucks about your comp, but sh*t happens. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
