Hi all. When I play UrT, my PC freeze randomly about every 20 minutes - 3 hours and the only way to "solve" the problem is the PC reset
- It happens ONLY if I'm playing UrT
- It not depending from a particular map, server or game situation
- It begun to happen with 3.2 or 3.3 version (but at the same time i upgraded my video drivers)
- I reinstalled the old video drivers without any result
- I reinstalled all the Quake program and UrT mod and I guess that the frequence of the freezing was reduced for some days, but now the problem is back again.
- I've played with or without antivirus and/or firewall enabled without any appreciable difference
- I read the logs but they are always suddenly interrupted at the freezing time.
Hardware:
CPU Intel 2.8
MB Abit IS7
2x512 RAM Kingstone
ATI Radeon 9600 - 256Mb
Windows XP SP1
Any idea to help me?
Thanks

heat and voltage ok ?
this game still gets my machine a little warm sometimes
if your fans react to heat they can put a drain on the voltage and cause some parts like the video card to fart .. and that can make u freeze
or heat
just brain storming here ...

There may be some files remaining from the previous drivers. Try using nasty file remover or similar program.

I had this freezes too. What I did was reinstalling my PC totally... with all newest drivers (sound/motherboard/video/mouse/printer/etc) and all newest windows updates blah blah. And now I dont hace crashes anymore.
My computer does freeze when I have Norton running though... but thats always. not only ingame.
