Crashing issue

Dalayan Beginner
I've gone through the forum and tried several of the solutions but nothing is helping. When I've been in the game for a few minutes, the screen turns fuzzy and locks. I hear occasional background sounds if I'm in combat but can't get the window changed to the taskmanager to kill it. A hard kill (pushing the power button) is my only recourse at this point.

After I've repatched and logged back in, I could be just sitting hter doingnothing and it'll happen again. The only thing I can think might be an issue is heat but can't seem to find anything on that.

Anyone else had this problem? It's not associated with the login server or creation but just happens after I'm ingame and gets more frequent the more I try getting back ito the game.

Thanks,
Mike

What graphics card do you have?

Also, do you play any other games?

NVidia GeForce FX Go5650. I'm current on all my drivers but am thinking it might be a heat issue with the processor now as I noticed it drops from 2gHz down to 599 mHz after about 5 minutes of use.

Currently, Dalaya is the only thing I've got time for now so I don't have anything else to compare.
 
Do you have problems booting up your computer at all? Your same problem happened to me, and also my computer had trouble booting up, so I through a stronger power supply in there and it worked fine after that. Although I was running a 8800gts, I'm not sure how much power your card requires.

That suggests a temperature problem yeah. Its "thermal throttling". Luckily there are ways to test and then fix that. I'd suggest looking inside the PC while its running (careful not to touch anything), and just look to see if the CPU fan is still spinning. It might have got stuck or something.

Then you can download this:
http://www.thecoolest.zerobrains.com/CoreTemp/

That will show you the temperature of the CPU. So you can even play SoD and then alt-tab out and see what the reading is. I'm not sure what your CPU is but you can look at the temperatures and then go onto google and search for your CPU and temperatures and you should be able to figure out what is a safe temperature. You can also probably find the safe temperatures at the website of whatever your chip is (so Intel or AMD . com) If it seems that your temperature is too high, then you probably just need to get a new heatsink and fan. Good luck.
