Diving me mad - CTD

craigt47 · 12-13-12, 11:46 AM

Hi,

So i started with just OH11 only and got the same problem. I have tried the full and bases version. Any ideas? I am starting to think this might be hardware problem. I ran some stress tests the temps are:
CPU: 67
GPU: 75 - xfx 6950

Temps seem to be ok, so i then thought power. I have 750w PSU which should be more than enough for my system. I have noticed that the water in the loop is very low. So this might be leading to the pump rushing and drawing on power, causing the power in increase along with the demands of GPU could be causing power outs. I have just filled the loop and will report back.

OHII v2 Full should work fine with your system on a fresh SH5 stock - patched to v1.2

Could be an issue with the download - you should try a fresh version of OHII

Hummm Just filled the loop! happened again! i am stumped!

Ok, so clean install with oh11. No joy. I did download it again. I really not sure this is a mod issue. If it was a mod issue would the game just CTD or hang? My problem is screen goes black, computer hangs and then a forced restart is required.

Are there any debug reports for sh5, if so where are they? I have looked at the event viewer and all I can see is critical that relates to unexpected shutdown. I think there might be a bsod happening, is there a problem that will record it?

Its not a dodgy graphics card ? Try downclocking it with the graphics card software and see if it still happens .

Is this the download version of SH5 or the DVD version?

If it's the download, then that's the reason for CTDs. I can't remember which ones, but some of TDW's UI mods will cause the crash with running the download version.

Someone needs to start a thread on this problem with reasons and have it made a Stickie. Maybe in both SH5 forums would be a good idea too. It could save a lot of headaches for those just getting into SH5, and save us time on finding out which version they're running.
