GhostRider3/3 Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Ok this is kind of getting to be a problem....I have posted some issues earlier and Matt and Shrullenhaft have been a big help. I have downloaded all current drivers for everything....and I mean everything. I have a Abit amd K7 Nvidia 64mb MX400 a Ensoniq 32bit sound card. the problem is this in either CMBB or CMAK after game play for either 2-23 turns or soo it locks up, the screen freezes and makes a weird sound. So Im thinking it is because I need a new sound card or I need to unclock my computer back to 1ghz instead of 1.27 Any other suggestions.....would be greatly appreciated.

Vanir Ausf B Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 You should definitly un-overclock your machine. Then read the help section on pages 243-245 in the CMBB manual. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praxis Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 I get the same problem with the sound getting stuck into a loop. I have tried turning the sound off with no success. Its the same as toning down the graphics. How old are your video card and your soundcard? My soundcard is over 5 years old (Soundblaster Live!) My videocard is GeForce4 MX440, which is low end. The big I can't reconcile is that the whole machine locks up and has to be rebooted. I would suggest that this points to hardware. But where? :mad: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sekra Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I'm having the same problem with CMAK, I can't remember if I had the same problem with CMBB since i never much played these games but now I "rediscovered" these from my brothers CD-collection. I can play for a while, sometimes longer sometimes not, then the game just completely freezes and the whole computer locks up. I have to press reset to reboot, nothing else works. Sound goes to a loop and nothing else happens. Im have: AMD Athlon Thunderbird 700mhz (running @770mhz) Creative Geforce 3 Ti200 256mb RAM Gigabyte GA-7ZXR (rev1.0) motherboard (VIA KT133) Integrated soundcard (Creative CT5880 PCI sound chip) Windows XP PRO SP1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sekra Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I just did 2 things that SEEM to have fixed the problem. 1. I un-overclocked my comp back to 700mhz AND 2. I remembered that some games had issues with older soundcards having DirectX hardware acceleration on, so I turned off my DX hardware acceleration for my soundcard I went playing after I posted the earlier post and I just came back with no freezes or crashes. I'll report back if I get more freezes but they SEEM to be gone for now... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
