Well seems I am not the only one suffering which if its any consilation to any of you makes me feel better. Maybe for some of you suffering I can offer a bit of help in return.
My Specs:
Windowsxp Pro Sp1 (all patches)
P4c 2.4ghz 800mhz fsb
GA-8IPE1000-L
Intel 865PE chipset (latest intel drivers)
Integrated Realtek ALC655 AC'97 audio CODEC chip
ATI 9600xt (new drivers cat 4.2)
512 DDR PC3200
400 watt power supply
DX 9.0b
Running -> Battlefield 1942 1.6
My issue is as follows ...
I play a single player game and the game crashes to my desktop or reboots my computer. I play multiplayer game and same thing.
My Solutions so far
Solution 1 (sort of works but sux ass)
I disable onboard sound and game works fine. This is good ya.
but then I put in new soundcard such as a soundblaster pci 128 card. Run game and game continues to crash and restart.
Solution 2 (works aight but should not have to do at all)
I disable hyper threading in BIOS and everything works fine. Can play for hours no problems.
Solution 3 (use my ti4200 nvidia grfx card)
If I use my ti4200 i have no issues playing battle field.
The reason why this is not a solution is cause when i use this card Halo crashes, Enemy territory locks up and Far Cry demo crashes. Also Call of Duty crashes. So my ATI is better solution as only Battle Field 1942 crashes.
So why am I complaing you say? Cause if i knew i had to disable hyper threading i would never have bought a p4 system. I only bought a p4 because at the time intels p4 had an edge over AMD.
I am looking for a solution to make the game work in windows without disbaling my hyper threading on my p4. Yeh i know the game don use it anyway but still there has to be a solution out there. Hell my ti4200 works on battlefield but not anything else ... so something its doing works.
What have i tried so far ...
1). Increasing Apature size 256
2). Disabled Fast Write on Video card
3). Diabled Side band addressing
4). Rolled back my video driver
5). Formated and reinstalled OS then used all drivers found on original install disk for chipset and shat, then incrementally patched Battlefield 1942 to version 6 testing every version.
6). I have run utilities that free up my system memory
7). I have tested my power supply for normal voltage levels on all rails.
8). I have added more memory to the system
9). I have reduced my fsb
10). I have undeclocked my p4
11). I have added additional cooling
12). I have contacted ati technical support (this probelm does not exist they tell me)
13). I have contacted EA technical support (tell me same thing above that ati tells me)
14). I have throttled my card from 8x agp to 4x agp
15). I have even tried a different video card from the ATI a radeon 7200 which works but can not play games like Far Cry or the new Doom 3.
