|
 |
I got Half-Life_2_READ_NFO-EMPORiO, and the ape's fix for it. The game starts up fine.
But when I start a new game, and the loading bar reaches the right side, a blue screen flashes on the screen for about half a second, the my computer reboots automatically.
What causes this annoying problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.
My comp specs:
AMD Athlon 1,4 GHz
512 MB of RAM
GF4Ti4200
OS: Windows XP Professional
Thanks in advance!

That is windows getting a BSOD.
If you go to control Panel -> System -> Advanced tab -> Startup and recovery you will find a checkbox saying "Automatically restart".
If you uncheck that box and apply the settings the computer will not restart when it crashes like that and you will have the time to read the crash info.
That might help you to find the solution to the problem.
You could also try to upgrade your drivers.

I upgraded my drivers, but the porblem persists.
This is what the BSOD said:
Technical information:
STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0XBFADE547, 0xED5639AC, 0x00000000)
NV4_disp.dll - Address BFADE547 base at BF9BB000, datestamp 3d94e7c9
Beginning dump of physical memory
Physical memory dump complete
Contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance.
Any ideas?

Windows got an inbuilt firewall as standard. Don't remember if It's enabled as standard or not though but you should check it. It should be under the control panel. Don't know if you're able to patch on Steam with the pirate version but we who have the bought version can use a new patch that corrects many crash problems with the game.

I saw things like that in here and in other "woman problems" topics so...... Am I the only one that thinks some authorities needs to be alerted about Saner and him possibly being a rapist and/or kidnapper ? |
Saner is not being serious. Unless its the subject of Santa!

I had the same problem playing Vampire : Bloodlines, to fix my problem i changed the AGP Aperture size in my mother boards bios, i just dropped the size down and it worked fine, might work for you also.
