But.....
I did the complete uninstall and re-install but the same thing happens. It's about a 90 second load to the main menu then a 7min 30 sec load time to the mission (the quicker of the three loads I've tried). Then about a minute into the mission the computer just reboots with no blue screen, warning or otherwise.
The graphics card has 128MB of DDR over an above the 1Gb of RAM already installed.
I never had a problem playing SH3 (no mods, but patched to the latest) - its only since the introduction of GWX2
Thanks again for the help
Oh... and what or how do I "checksum"?  |
The checksum is a hash function that verifies that the file that you download is indeed the correct and complete file. Probably a good idea to do it with these problems. I believe JonesSoft has one on his page in the download section that you can get. How the checksum actually works and does its job is derived from number theory and cryptography, kinda complicated to complain how it works; just that it creates an electronic fingerprint in which files distributed electronically can use to compare and make sure that their copy is the same as the source.
Even on a really fast computer GWX can load (relative to stock SHIII) slowly, since you aren't getting a blue screen its unlikely hardware related (like a bad driver) so something is failing at some point in the loading process. The event log should have some useful information as to what's killing your machine. Look for any stop errors in the system and application logs and cut and paste em, or save the logs and post em so we can look at em in whole.
Are you loading GWX directly or using SH3 commander?
