Thalan1a Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Thanks a lot. I hope the new video card solves the hang up problem. I tried turning off almost all the mods I have added to it and it still kept freezing up so the only thing it can be is the video card. Right?

I'm not a computer expert, don't even have an A+ cert (but unfortunately I end up being the sucker stuck with all my friends computer problems), so I'd check on some of the more tech related forums. I mean you could have some glitchy ram, a flaky motherboard, cput etc. Does it *only* happen in FONV or does it also happen in any software that puts a serious load on your pc? You can simulate a pretty decent workload on the cpu/memory with prime95, used to be the overclockers "burn in" program of choice. You can probably *underclock* your vid card (MSI had a free one, called afterburner) to help to reduce the load on your video subsystem and see if that helps stability. Stuff like that.... basically your trying to isolate a variable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalan1a Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 It only happenes in FONV which is why I was thinking it was a mod causing it. My Mobo and ram are new. My cpu is the Phenom II 980 BE but I have had it for about a year. I have the Asus Crosshair V Formula/Thunderbird motherboard and 16 gigs of Kingston HyperX ram.

If it only happens in FONV, not in other more recent games, I'd say it's not a hardware problem at all......all software. I mean NV is a pretty old game, it doesn't stress the hardware nearly as much as current fps's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalan1a Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Yeah it started doing this when I started adding mods to the game, but I don't know which one it is that's causing the problem. Got the Radeon HD7770 2Gb video card in yesterday so I will see how it goes. If it stops freezing up then it would mean my old video card could have been getting ready to go out.
