Out of Hosting duty for a while (or not?)

[HunterICX]

Due random BSODs on my PC which is a nice Sign of XP ''Reinstall me please''
I wont be hosting IL2 games for the next couple of days.

so for the Subsim Dogfight Knock out, if dowly is kind, that he will take over the role to Host the games.

have fun,

I know the pain, upgraded my internet speed today and started to get all kinds of errors. Re-installed XP three times and tried everything I could think of. Then, after 9hrs, I accidentally came across another drivers for my modem and bang, it works. :damn:

Well.. shortly after I posted that last post, my PC went crazy again, so. :damn:

[HunterICX]

Well, havent done anything myself,
apart from pulling out the plug of my headphones (USB device)
it seems they where the cause got an error message in BSOD that directed me to my USB sound device.

as I havent had a BSOD yet on normal soundboxes.
so my BSOD is sound related..pfew (fingers crossed) :doh:

Update: weird, since I detached my USB headphone, havent experienced a BSOD. makes sense, as the first BSOD I got this week was when launching teamspeak, the screen completly froze. and on reset my screen stayed black, I had to shut off the power for at least a minute to get it back starting again.
so for the next days I run my PC without its headphones, to test if that where the cause of my problems.

Possibly a bad USB socket? Power supply getting old? :hmm:

Nah, I have many USB plugs in my Computer (Mouse, Joystick, DSL-Modem, Keyboard)

I think it is corrupted driver Software as it gave me a BSOD with a .sys file which guided me to my Headphone driver software, completly uninstalled it.
now I test it a while without the headphone, tommorow I can see if it was the cause or not.
we'll see, so far so good launched some heavy games played both for a while (IL2 and Warhammer DoW)
if tommorow everything is positive, no crashes.
I going to see what happens if I reinstall the headphones and update the software.

2 Gigs of Ram, if I'm correct 32 bit doesnt support further then 1 gig of Ram.

I think it supports up to 4 gigs, mate. I'm running 2gigs atm with 32bit. :up:

[HunterICX]

:hmm: I see,

heck, I'm feeling ordering my PC right now...trouble is..I'm at Work:damn:
depending the time it takes, and the costs I might buy a new PC before getting back online in IL2 :arrgh!:

*Dual Core
*2 gig ram
*8800GT serie video card
* aprox 250 Gig HD and a 50 Gig HD for OS, Driver software, basis to get the PC running
*before I forget cooling fans that even will freeze Hell. J/k but something that keeps the Temp down

[Dowly]

Ah, finally you going for a new PC. :up: I forsee huge 50+ plane DCG campaigns in the future. ;)

[HunterICX]

Alrighty, PC is back up and cleaned up completly.
forgot how much work it is to get the Basics up and running again.
and my XP disc needs replacement...at some files the thing got stuck and had to take the disc out and put it back in. enough for today.

now something little is pissing me off

as you can see, I cant manually select my AA anymore (AF still works), instead when I Click it open I get the NVidia Control panel which I dont want. I just want to put my AA at 2x (forceware 169.21 btw)

EDIT: Ah..got it , can activate it to 2x by going the longer route...windows control panel, Screen settings , Advanced, nvidia and so on and on.

:o Houstin we got a problem!

[HunterICX]

Indeed, just got 2 BSODs,

1 just a reboot, then I disabled the feature that the bloody thing will reboot automaticly...and I get a BSOD with Win32k.sys
I'm suspecting a hardware issue.
weird thing is, I get them twice or three times...and after that its ok, no more BSODS.

It must be pc problem season :hmm: ..no further forward with mine neither.if i had hair I think i would be pulling the fecka out :damn:

[XabbaRus]

Well I can host if it is easy enough.
I don't need the server patch do i?

I am thinking of hosting the I-16 cup races if anyone wants to join.
I'm also reworking the races for different aircraft.

[NiclDoe]

Dowly i bet is going to blame it all on me!:lol:
