View 8 RepliesI just recently built the computer listed in the specs part of my profile, and have only ran into one issue. When I record my gameplay on Battlefield 3 with Fraps, after I finish the recording and click to exit the game I get a blue screen, this is the absolute only time I get a blue screen and it happens every time. I checked the event viewer but there was so errors leading up to the crash and no information except one that stated the computer recovered from the crash. The only constant I find is that it only crashes when I am using fraps and when I am only a voice chat service, in my case skype or ventrilo. I am currently running the Memtest86 on that computer now so I can't retrieve any of the BSOD information, provided that there is any, but so far I have no errors showing on the memtest.

I don't really know what drivers to look for to get my MACs wireless adapter to work in windows.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have installed Windows 7 on Mac Bootcamp. It has been working perfectly fine for the past year but it is now restricting me to login with a black screen. The last time Windows 7 worked, I closed my laptop cover to put it to sleep. I came back to find that I was greeted with a black screen after opening my laptop. I rebooted my computer multiple times but the outcome is always the same: I would see the Windows icon (4 coloured squares), it would then show my cursor and then the screen would go black. I have tried to repair my computer but it says that there are no errors.I also tried to check for any other possible errors but they all come out negative.

Unfortunately, my college dorms only have ethernet, so I bought a USB-ethernet adapter. While the adapter works fine in OSX, it is completely non-functional when I run Windows 7 via Bootcamp. Can anybody explain to me how to get it to work?

I downloaded my files for windows 7 as an iso, used Windows 7 USB TOOL, but then it says:Files copied successfully. However, we were unable to run bootsect to make the USB device bootable. (I've also tried Universal USB Installer, this time with no errors. But when i connect it to my mac, nothing happens.
View 2 Replies View RelatedBefore the flaming begins, yes I'm a mac owner. For reasons which I won't get into mac was just a better choice for me, and I recently purchased a new mac book pro (I was always a pc guy before that). Well I don't know much about mac's and i'm still on the learning curve but that doesn't concern you guys much so here's my question:
I'm looking to get either windows xp or windows 7 to run through bootcamp so I can play games (yes we all know pc's are better for running games, but for now let that fact be irrelevant.) I'm looking to play games such as Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Starcraft 2, and Diablo 3, as well as a few of my favorite oldies. So should I get XP to run these or when these games come out will they only be compatible with Windows 7?
Also I'm already running bootcamp so if I have to run emulation software to run these games through windows 7 I don't know if it will work? And if you guys do suggest windows 7 should I go with basic or premium? (do i need the xp emulation software or can I just save that $100). As I said i'm looking to play older games that were made for XP when it first came out, as well as games that have yet to come out and probably won't till sometime in 2010 (hopefully). Thanks for your help!
I hate the Mac os, so I went and got windows 7. I have the 15 inch 2011 MacBook pro, and need windows!! It says I need to install the internet drivers, and cannot get on the web with windows without them. I seemed to misplace my Internet drivers. I have another Mac. Is there a website I can burn them onto a disk from? Or do I have to go buy a new osx disk?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an elderly friend about to buy his first mac. The question concerns his desire to do video editing on W7.
The problem seems to center round the way in which W7 runs apps that are XP only. Whilst Bootcamp appears to be able to partition the disc and run W7, video editing, capturing in particular, sends CPU power consumption up to the max. Will the XP emulator in W7 be man enough to tackle these tasks.
My friend is running XP pro 32bit and Pinnacle studio 10. The short workaround is to shift him onto iMovie but as he is 84 I would like to keep him on familiar ground as much as possible.
About halfway through my Windows 7 upgrade (32 bit), I get this error:
Windows cannot install required files. The file does not exist. Make sure
all files required for installation are available, and restart the
installation. Error code: 0x80070002
I'm running the upgrade through the Vista partition on my mac. Does anyone have any solutions? I don't want a clean install, since I've got way too many important applications installed on my partition, I don't have to spend days reinstalling everything.
There is this really old game I used to play on a windows (I believe it was Windows Xp service pack 2) called Lego Island of Extreme Stunts (1). So naturally I try to play the game and it obviously doesn't work. So I try out compatibility mode. The problem is, I can't find out what compatibility will work. I've tried everything that other people have said would work with no luck. Here are the problems: When I load the game without compatibility mode, the game run through the title screen until I hit the new game or load game button and then it crashes after trying to load for a while. When I run it in windows 98/me (this is what someone on another forum told people to do) I hit the pay game button, but nothing starts. I just have a desktop with no game popping up. When I run windows Xp (service pack 2 and 3) I get a window to start playing a game (unlike windows 98/me) but then it starts the first loading screen and it never loads the title screen. It just freezes and I have to find a way to stop the game without having to restart. I've tried windows 2000 with the same results as windows xp Other information: I'm running bootcamp. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the game whatsoever but I think it would be something good to know.
What I'd like to know: What am I doing wrong? How can I run the game on windows 7 (bootcamp)? Can I run the game on windows 7 (bootcamp)? If I can't run the game, why can't I?
I am running Windows 7 and frequently get a screen freeze while playing Battlefield Vietnam II or Battlefield II only. This happens quite often and I see no patterns except for these 2 games. I have updated my video drivers. I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 (Prerelease - WDDM 1.1)

The strange thing is I can sometimes play the game all day and experience no issue and then sometimes just have constant BSOD's when playing BF3 - especially when it is loading the map!My screen just goes black with an infinite sound loop and I am unable to alt + ctrl + del or anything, my computer is literally dead until I restart it..My CPU and GPU temps are fine, I mean.. I can play for up to 5 hours and the temps are still good.For instance, I was just playing the game with Fraps (see the FPS) was playing at 58 fps on ultra.. and as soon as I press F9 to start recording.. BANG.. the computer is dead, again!!I have literally tried everything; uninstalling graphics drivers, install graphics drivers, flash graphics & bios, disable sound, buy a sound card, play on low settings.. literally everything.My specs are: ASUS P8Z68-V LX MOTHERBOARD G.SKILL RIPJAWS-X 8GB(2X4)16 C9 GIGABYTE GEFORCE GTX 560TI OC Intel i5 2500k 3.3GhzCoolermaster Hyper Evo CoolerNovatech 750W ATX Power SupplyWhen I go to event viewer, it logs the BSOD as "critical", "kernal-power", with an event ID of 41.

I recently built a pc and I had windows vista running on it and everything was fine. Bought a 128gb Samsung 830 SSD and windows 7 Home Premium 64bit this week and did a fresh install. I had many BSOD's during the windows installation, mostly IRQL, but finally got it installed and running. Now when I try and play Battlefield 3, I am able to play for a few minutes before my pc BSOD's. It seems to mostly be IRQL errors, but I've also got pfn_list_corrupt, memory management, and bad pool header BSOD's.
I have tried a lot of things to see what the issue may be. I got the latest video card drivers for my card, GTX560, since that seemed to me like the probable cause, but I am still getting BSOD's. I ran memtest for 6+ hours and received no errors and did a check disk on my boot drive with no errors as well.
