Hardware Probs

Ok. I have my specs in sig...which most of yall prob have memorized by now haha but anyway...

I downloaded Doom III, and I know this isnt gameworld but im almost certain it is a hardware problem.

I installed the game on Mattesca's computer and it worked fine, and his video card is a FX5600 256MB version. When he did the hardware scan to find best video settings it put his at 800X600 on High Quality. It put mine on 800X600 on Medium Quality....wierd.

I can play the game for about 5 mins then the screen looks all scrambly and stuff and just freezes up and i have to ctrl alt delete it..

I tried a reformat, reinstall, all stock settings, and disabling fastwrites...

I dont know what to do anymore...please help :helpsmile:

That kinda makes me think it could be a driver issue. Not too sure though.

reinstall. it may be a corrupt texture or sound that doesnt load till you reach a certain check point

What about cooling. Is the cooling working properly on that card?

Its a cooling problem, it tends to heat up I guess while playing DOOM3
Do you have good ventilation in your computer?

Yeah....I have 2 intakes and 2 exhaust and 2 in PSU and the cooling on my card is working...

Its all at stock. If this thing is overheating, Im gona try to take it back cuz it shouldnt be doing that.

Whats wierd is that its always worked on NFSU and BF1942 and lots of other games...

Yeah foxx tis is Doom 3, not battlefield
