Crash On Almoust Every Game
Sep 28, 2008
I bet you heard it alot, but yes it actually crashes to the desktop on almoust every game that i play. FS X, Settlers 6, Half Life 2, Bioshock, and the list goes on.. The crashes are that the game just freezes abit and it switches to the desktop and says that the app has crashed, and gives me a choise between check the net for the solution and restart it. Sometimes the errors explain the app crash with a direct x file as the "couse" of the problem. While i checked the forums i saw a few video drivers and tryed to install them. Each driver gave me diffrent "new" problems. some of them crashed the game but it took it about 10-15 more mins to do it.
The latest NVIDIA driver is the moust unstable from all the drivers that i have tryed....
Some of the drivers even crashed into the BSOD with a 101 error...
And when it showed it, the error was about some other file, somehow related to
Sometimes it crashes to the desktop with a file from the game it self as the couse of the crash, for example client.dll for Half Life EP 2.
My specs are :
AMD Athlon 2x3000+
GeForce 8800GT 512MB only 1 card
4Gb RAM
Vista Ultimate x64
should i just install XP and wait untill Vista will have a good support of drivers and fixes.

I can sucessfully load up the game and all however whenever i try to join a multiplayer game(says "Joining Server... then crashes" or finish loading a single player game(after the textures are loaded or the shaders it just crashes) OR whenever i click audio in settings my game(right after i click audio it just goes boom) just crashes back to desktop with the BF2142.exe error. I've read about many different crashes with other people but this seems different, people have had crashes during map changes, splash screen, and a few secs after joining the server, havent seen anyone with my problem of crashing when i see the "joining server.." box.
I've tried
1)reinstalling/repatching
2)run the exe as admin.
3)disable UAC and reinstall/repatch after restart
Im pretty sure my computer can handle the game, my old one did fine and this one owns it. Im kind of lost, I've tried many things and this freaking game just doesnt want to work.

I installed SS2 on this PC (runs windows vista home premium 32bit), but sadly the game won't run correctly. I've looked around a little bit, and I see that not watching the videos is a common problem. But that's not my main problem <:/ I can run the game just fine for about 30 seconds... suddenly, it just freezes. The last sound is looped, and the mouse is frozen.

I finally decided to upgrade to Vista, and since I have 4GB ram I thought I'd give 64bit a shot. Every game I play crashes, or fails to load at all, or gets into the game and crashes during map load. I have Vista Ultimate 64 installed. I have installed and re-installed the OS multiple times to no effect. I've downloaded all of the windows updates. During one of my first installs of vista, I was able to get in to games of codwaw, but then it would crash after about 5 secs.......

it's getting kinda boring now surely those nuggets over at microsoft are aware of all the problems with vista since i changed over i have made it a point to make sure i only use vista compatable hardware and software but that doesn't seem to help as the only stable software that runs(without crashing) was programmed for XP now that is just silly and a software company's excuse is ''we had to rush it onto the market'' so what does that mean, did they not even test their software now wishing i got a mac instead as microsoft and software company's need to pull their fingers out and start doing things properly i would rather wait 6 months for a game or app that actually works than spend the money to find out that it doesn't do what it says on the box all this due to the fact that not one app or game designed with vista in mind will run without crashing repeatedly over and over again so what does vista do other than try to look good not alot just gives you a headache as you wonder yet again why your computer has either crashed or just shut down what seemed to be an app or game that didn't seem to have a problem when it all of a sudden ends the app or game it even closed chess on me as it encountered a problem i understand that these things do happen but not on this scale this is just to often and microsoft really need a shoe put up there rear for not addressing these issue's sooner.

I have been trying to sync media onto my 2 gb Patriot miniSD card. However, every time I build up my list of media I want to add onto it and I click the "Sync Now" button, WMP crashes. It begins to sync the first few songs, however after 4 songs I get an error message that states that "WMP is not responding". I have tried to do this same thing with different media, but I still have my WMP crashing. I have checked Microsoft for any updates, but it seems that I have kept my computer in good condition (I've only had this computer for about 1 month now). The WMP crashing issue is a recurring problem for me so now I'm at my last resort. What do I do?

The other night I come home from work late. I go to check my email and non-sense...but can't. Internet Explorer starts to crash..a lot. So, I found someone to send me Firefox the next day (I couldn't keep IE open long enough to do anything, half the time it didn't even open before the crash msg came up.) Still FF crashes. I don't know what the problem is..or was, it seems to be doing ok right now, first time I've actually been able to keep my browser open long enough to do something..I'm afraid to close it in case it doesn't work again. So..here are the
reports, first the IE and then the FF.

Factory re-installation from hidden hdd partition after crash complete reformat of C: PLUS installation of all updates incl SP1. AVG fully updated and scanned daily, ditto Ad-Aware and Spybot. IE7 is apparently corrupt, certainly giving major problems. The "quick-start" icon, when right-clicked to "run as Administrator" yields the message "This program is unsigned, do you really want to run" (starts normally when run as "user"). Plus (just one of many problems both as User or Administrator) click a "print" link on a website, IE7 greys out, looks for a "solution on the web", then restarts ...and yes, I have both Java and Activex latest versions, loaded).
As a work-around I'm using Firefox (which does EXACTLY what I expect of a browser, and I used to do in IE6). IE7 is supposedly "core" to Vista OS, can't help feeling that something is seriously wrong, and I may have OS problems as yet undiscovered. Is there a way of reloading just IE7, or are there registry tweaks to correct?

For some reason, Vista crashes as soon as a DVD (hardware or virtual) starts to play (BCCode e3). LiveTV and AVI play without any problem.I deinstalled some programmes, one of which was Nero 6 Express.This Nero was incompatible, but wanted to try it anyway. Although i cannot pinpoint the cause of the crashes, but i suspect my Nero experiment. Anybody any 'serious' clue of how to fix this?

I reinstalled Vista fresh on the drive and now it gives me this horrible distortion in the graphics. Everything installs fine, I assume. I just can't do anything because I can't see anything. It's not black, but has tons of blocks all over it. I was thinking it was my graphics card taking a dive, but I can get OSX86/Ubuntu with Desktop effects to run fine. So, I am at a loss, as both the other systems require graphics acceleration. It's just Vista that doesn't want to work.

When the computer starts up it gets to the loading screen and then crashes: A blue screen comes up with a load of type on it but the system does a crash dump before I can read what it says. The computer then restarts with an option to continue normally or launch startup repair. I than launch startup repair and it says it "cannot repair this computer automatically".
The diagnostics and repair details are as follows: "Number of repair attempts: 13......

My laptop (Hp Pavilion dv6500 Notebook Pc) had a crash yesterday but after shutting it down and restarting it, all seemd to be normal. But today when I wanted to play some Generals I got a nasty suprise. I started up the game and I got a message saying I didn't have the right directx version. This is weird since I've been playing the game for almost a year now on this laptop. Anyway, I thought maybe something got corrupted after the crash. I startend another game just to make sure and it too gave me an error that I didn't had a proper directx version.
So I checked dxdiag and it said I had directx 10 as my latest version, which is what I had before the crash. I've updated all my drivers, reinstalled directx and reinstalled my games but nothing seems to work. I hope someone could point me out a direction that might help me fix this problem. I'm a student I seriously need my games for some relaxation .

I have a problem with vista 64 ultimate. When i play a game, there is nothing, it never crash or anything. But when i restore games to minimize it half so i can do other stuff, so the game is running in the background on the desktop then it crashes. Like if someone writes a email, and i want to copy the name to a text document, then i restore the game, to get it on the backgroud so i can read the email and write it down. But after 5-10 sec if any game is restored,then my comp crashes.
Once i gotten blue screen of death but it normally goes black screen. Its like vista ultimate 64, cant handle a game running on restored mode, so i can maximize it again for full screen. And that is really annoying. It also shuts out the possibility to play games in windowed mode. If i play a game in windowed mode it dont crash but if i click on a icon like my computer then there is 5-10 sec time before it crashes unless i come fast back clicking on the game again.
Hopefully all get the point of what im saying.

The system has been stable for some time but today while working in Excel I got an IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL 0A BSOD, rebooted and within 5 minutes got SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION 3B BSOD and now getting this repeatedly. My best guess right now is that a stick of RAM has failed so have removed all but one 2GB stick and no crashes so far - will run some memory tests on each stick in turn tomorrow. I really hope that's all it is (& I can get it replaced under warranty!) and it's not a mobo fault.
The BIOS did go into recovery mode when I tried to enter it, that's okay now but the raid 5 array is re-initialising as a result . The auto memory timings have never matched the spd (slower) but that never bothered me but I think I'll manually set to the stated timings of 4-4-4-12 depending on what the tests reveal. Only real SW change apart from usual MS updates is I installed VMC TV Pack and USB wifi adapter a few days ago but I'd have expected to see this sooner if that was the cause. From what I've read a 3B is more likely hardware anyway?

Can anyone elaborate on what this is and if it could cause problems with the programs Vista decides to use it with? Is it ok to turn off if it does cause problems? From what I gathered Vista decides for me that certain config files for certain programs get put into an area that is User Account specific rather than put it in the actual program folder. Which to me would be all well and good if it were to put these files in to a folder that wasn't hidden or hard to find like the My Documents folder like some programs/games do. Another thing that bugs me is that it doesn't tell you when it does this and does not allow any user input on this. I've also noticed that the programs that are put into this "VirtualDrive" crash or have other issues that I don't remember having before.
I don't really find this function of Vista to be at all necessary to me because I'm the only one that uses this computer and I don't need things to be account specific. It's incredibly inconvenient when you go to look for a file that you're used to be in a certain place and its just not there. It took me forever to figure where the files actually were.

My system did an auto update yesterday and InDesign CS3 no longer worked. So I did a system restore to the day before yesterday. During the restore process, the system crashed before completing. Now I cannot get it to restore to any point at all - seems to go through the process but on restart it tells me that it was unsuccessful.

I use Google Search as me default search when using IE7. About 10% of the time when I enter a search term and press Enter I get "IE7 has stopped working..." and choices close IE 7 or restart. Does anyone else get this error.? Please don't say "don't use Google." Is this a known bug in IE 7? Did I miss a fix? By the way this happened before SP1 and and after SP1 was installed.

I recently had an unexpected problem with my notebook, which is a little older than a year (HP DV9780, 2,2Ghz RAM, Nvidia 8700 video card). I was playing a computer game when the screen started to flicker and the game started to freeze and resume every other 15 seconds or so. After 2 or 3 times of this, the screen went black and the computer shutdown by itself. When I restarted, everthing on the desktop was at a very low resolution & color (everything looked huge). From there on here is what I did:
1) Tried to adjust the screen resolution via the Control Panel: this did not help.I restarted again, even during start-up, the windows vista logo looked out of proportion, with a weird color.
2) Diagnostics was run automatically: I received the notice that this was an error that could not be automatically fixed. (At this point there is no apparent resolution problem, but there were a few evenly spaced dark blue lines, which stood out in the background).....
