New PC, Odd freezes
« on: July 06, 2011, 04:23:11 am »

So a few days ago I picked up a pretty new PC, and every time probably mid-way through a game I get an odd freeze that continues the current sound at the time of the crash, and loops it over and over again very quickly. After about 5 minutes of just sitting there, it crashes to the server menu saying Connection to Server is lost. I'm not sure if this is the wireless on the new PC, or the new graphics card. I tried installing the crpg-optimization patch but it seemed to do nothing, and also I am not enabling Force Single Threading. Any suggestions?

Thanks, PB

Does it also quickly loop the same two frames over and over again? if so I have solved this by alt tabbing out then back in. Not sure what causes it though :/

I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

Yeah it does, but it doesn't allow me to do anything. I can't alt-tab, alt-F4, can't even start up my task manager. Its just completely frozen for a good 3-5 minutes, and after it unfreezes it goes to the server list and says connection to server is lost.

Do you think I should pull my Nvidea Geforce 9400 GT out of my old PC and put it this one? The current video card is Intel HD Graphics Family (Default lol..)

Mount and Blade isn't really considered hardcore gaming haha. But do you think that is the reason for the crashes?

anything that is 3d is going to be magnitudes better when run with a dedicated 3d hard.  Yes mount'n'blade is hardcore gaming unless you want it to look like complete ass and run it in the maxed-LOW/OFF settings.

repeat after me

update video & sound drivers
update video & sound drivers
update video & sound drivers
update video & sound drivers
update video & sound drivers
update video & sound drivers
update video & sound drivers

Windows 7 will actually list updated drivers in the 'optional' updates, which does half the work for searching for the drivers for you

I did update them, but I used the windows search feature, and they updated it for me. Should I go to the nvidea website and search from there?

yes, the nvidia site will probably almost always have the most recent.  They typically have a new version every month.  I assume you're using onboard sound, which is alot harder to find updated drivers, which is why I recommend windows update to find them.
