non stop crashing on logging in.
Clean reinstall done a few months back - best drivers avail - but am just running into hardware incompatibility. Looks like against my preference time to upgrade to a new computer. |

is it on log in or toon select? could it be something in your .ini. set ui to defualt maybe, or if you just reinstalled, make sure you have the right directX version. _________________ I'm betting that I'm just abnormal enough to survive.

Is it getting heat spikes?
If it runs at all, then crashes; there is some pivotal event causing the crash. Only 2 things physically crash PCs: heat and low/high voltage spikes. If its not one of those two, its a software issue. Hope you have backed up your data! _________________ Meditation brings wisdom. Lack of Meditation leaves ignorance.

The PC isn't crashed. EQ crashes.
Regarding Data - all Data is kept on the F Drive. I only put data on F Drives except for automatic game saves that sometimes go to user accounts. I only use C drive for OS - and windows updates and installs that don't let you pick where it goes. |

go to your eq folder, search *serano*
rename all files with a .bak added on, restart eq and see how it goes FYI you wont have anything but a very raw EQ config, just like Day 1... but see if it runs. If it does (try to make it crash, repeat behaviors you believe will cause a crash)... start adding files back by logging out, and deleting the current file in your eq folder corresponding to the .bak files you have and rinse repeat, you will slowly gain back your EQ config and hotbuttons and eventually hit the corrupted file hth, good luck. _________________ Meditation brings wisdom.

Hmmm.... you know I hadn't thought it could be corrupted Serano files. But then ultimatly I could do the same thing by running a virgin account thats not Serano too. I will give it a shot. |
