Computer rebooting everytime I enter a system

There are 37 replies in this Thread. The last Post () by nitr0x.

    Sorry, but this is doing my head in. I really want to play with this


    mod on your server, but I am having this serious problem of everytime I go through a jump


    gate into a system, my computer reboots completely. I thought it might be conflicting with


    the SP mod addon so I removed it and reinstalled the Crossfire mod again, and I had to


    travel back to the jump gate being thrown away from the gate 150k, I tried going through to


    Colorado, and my computer rebooted again.


    I have no programs running in the


    background apart from Team Speak, but something is wrong and I need help sorting this. I


    really want to play on your server, but I really dont fancy my computer rebooting everytime


    I go into another system and travelling around 150k back to the nearest trade


    lane.


    Warmest regards

    1. delete ur freelancer directory

    freelancer singleplayer savegames or move them to a different folder

    Right, I have done the above, have tried


    going thru a jump gate 7 times, and each time my computer has rebooted.


    Can someone


    please tell me what is going wrong here, because I should just be able to load the darn mod


    and play on the server without my computer keeping rebooting.


    Sorry, but I really


    want to play this mod, and I am getting really low on patience now.

    Lol, what have my temperory internet files got to do with a


    game? My memory is fine, I have got 512 ram.


    The mod hasnt been tested properly and


    thoroughly, apparently, I am not the only one with this problem, as I was told yesterday


    there are several other players with the same problem I am having.

    i wouldnt blantently say its the mod, OP knows his work. Since the number of people


    that have this is the minority and the majority is running fine then it is not due


    to the mod. It is either a hardware problem or the way your copy of the mod downloaded.

    512 mb ram?What version of windows u using?if its


    XP no wonder 512 is no way enough.

    First of all, my computer


    is powerful enough to run this mod.


    Second, if everytime i download this mod it is


    being corrupted, how else am I going to download it?


    Third, I have 3 other friends


    who have downloaded this mod who are having the same problem as I am. If the mod had no


    bugs, then I should have been able to download it, activate and play it without any


    problems.

    well so far crossfire 1.52 has been downloaded about 1500 times


    and it seems to


    work for all those guys... so its unlikely that the mod is bugged or has a


    damage


    sometimes it helps to search for problems on the own PC - like: is the mod


    installed correctly.... are there still old savegames... is freelancer installed


    correctly... is there enough space on the hdd... is there a problem with the firewall or


    other programs

    Ok what are your system specs


    ,graphix card, memory ,processor,virtueal memory, driver versions and operating


    system?
    dont forget soundcard
    run dxdiag.exe as well cos i had a similar prob when


    game tried to load music that played in warp tunnels.


    ps he meant your temp files not


    temp internet files,temp files fill up and if u download 1.52 a few times u will have


    several copies of 1.52 in temp dir

    Ok,i'm one of Peacekeeper's friends who is also having


    trouble..2 more of my friends not involved with DS9 have now downloaded it on my request and


    have tried it out and complained that while New York is a nice place..they don't want to


    stay there!!They're getting half way thru the JG and having their PC re-boot...so can 6 of


    us,plus others who have commented on TLR and here all be wrong?
    The mod does look


    fantastic and i really really want to try it as i'm a major Starlancer fan and would love


    to fly the ships here,but at the moment the only thing i'm thinking of doing is copying the


    mod on a CD-R and jumping on it repeatedly (ok,won't make the mod work-but it'll make me


    feel much better)
    Also,saying it's down to our PC's doesn't hold much ground


    either..we all have different PC's and all have different setups.


    P.C= 2.6 AMD


    (clocking at 2.9),256 meg Nvidia 5200, 512 DDR ram,120 Gig HD,windows XP


    A rather


    annoyed DS9 Phoenix

    512 meg Ram DDR, On board sound MSI KT 3, GForce FX 5600


    with 256 Ram, AMD 2.4, Virtual memory adjust by window (which is not being readjusted at


    all), running Windows XP. All drivers are upto date.


    I completely removed all traces


    of Freelancer, did a fresh reinstall and its still rebooting.


    This is ridiculous, I


    have never had any problems using other mods. Do I have to go and buy the state of the art


    computer just to play the mod? The mod should be able to play on any computer providing it


    is powerful enough, and mine is. Having to go through a checklist is ridiculous, I should


    just be able to play the mod without any problems at all.


    you dont need a


    high end PC to run CF. i'm proof. my PC only has a 450 mhz pentium 3 processor, 128 mb of


    ram, and a 32 mb video card. It works fine for me, and pretty much everyone else.

    not really. you can have trouble no


    matter what your hardware. it all comes down to software and compatability. and corrupted


    files........ i had the sme thing happen with the download, but it only happend the first


    time i tried..........and that was becuase i was doing 3 similar things at once, although i


    cant remember what they were.....i remember one had to do with the mod manager..........

    Crossfire Characters:
    (IOC){Dark_Angel} and any derivatives thereof.

    Yeah I remember that ,you never did tell us how u fixed it:(
    Cos


    by the look of it all these guys are doing exactly the same thing.

    i fixed it by closing out everything except what i needed to download the


    mod........and everything went fine. but i dont think that would help here.........this is


    something much more serious........*shifty eyes*-_____-

    Crossfire Characters:
    (IOC){Dark_Angel} and any derivatives thereof.

    you really


    might wanna see how your video card conflicts with your games....I have what your


    meaning...only its at random times, I have a e-GForce 6800 and yet after more memory, a new


    power supply, and redoing it twice it still locks up and reboots sometimes.


    Is


    freelancer the only game it does this?

    Have u tried with all video settings turned off or right down ,ie no


    AA ect 16 bit colour and 800,600 res and the reason i asked for a checklist was to try and


    help .
    I had similar problem was caused by soundcard drivers not being properly


    installed.
    You can stop system rebooting after a crash ,then u can see the error


    message.buggered if i can remember where the option is tho
