Extreme issues

[Sucker 0]

Hey everyone.

 

No matter what I do, my Tiberium Wars just refuses to work for 10 minutes for me.

 

What I did first was I shelled out $115 for an X-fi XtremeGamer (had onboard before), and that didn't solve it.

Then I realized that a BIOS update had turned EIST on, so I disabled that. Less crashing, but still crashing nonetheless.

I reinstalled 3 times, tried everything possible.

Last night I reformatted my computer.

 

Still no luck. I got about 3 minutes into a Skirmish game and BAM, frozen.

 

Tech support has been of no help at all.

 

Are there others who are experiencing issues like I am? At least then I can maybe say it's an issue with the game itself that requires a patch and not my system.

 

Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4ghz

Intel DG965WH Motherboard

2GB Crucial 667mhz memory

eVGA 7900GS Overclocked

Creative X-fi XtremeGamer

Cant say I've ever heard of this problem.. Try updating all the drivers for all your hardware. Also, check Task manager and MSconfig to see what all programs you have running. Might be somthing conflicting with C&C.

I cant tell you anything more about your hardware cuz I've never dealt with any of that stuff myself..

Do you have any problems running other games?

 

Could be an overheating issue.

had a problem like that with Dawn of War and Company of Heroes after i got the latest drivers for my gfx card.

 

with previous driver versions it worked fine.

 

try some previous driver versions, sometimes there are issues with the latest ones.

Alright, thanks for the replies, guys. My GPU doesn't seem to get much hotter than 60ºC and the temperature monitors seem to be all clear.

 

I'll check out some older drivers for sure (I also play BF2142, and started before CNC3, and for a while it worked fine but after the 93.71 update I believe I started getting issues).

 

I'll let you know how it goes, guys! Thanks!
