Oh well. This is starting to drive me nuts... Well well. As a Christmas gift I got new computer part; AMD Athlon X2 64-bit CPU, new motherboard and RAM. Since then when I've been playing warcraft 3, it's decided just to crash a bit on random.

Any ideas why this is so? All help is wanted. :banghead:

Few things to think of:

-Viruses - Computer's will restart themselves if precious files are hacked into by viruses

-Overheated - Get a better fan, take off your case. Search on google for MotherBoard Monitor, it'll monitor your Computers temperature.

-Incompatibility - Especially different types of ram, like 256mb and 512mb together.

I scan every other day.

CPU temp is always around 25-35
System temp is 30-50(50 at extreme cases) (Checked these in bios)

Got two 1024's Same model and all. Arrived in the same package. I don't know what the temps should be, but on my old comp the CPU temperature was way hotter than now.(Usually got up to 80celsius)

I've never experienced a reboot any other time than playing Warcraft 3.
Something is really weird, methinks.

Oh, and the chassi is still open since I changed parts.

It's probably overheating; the gadget could be sucking out too much power, and warming things up in the process.

I get the same problem on my other PC, although the monitor is the cause, and it shuts down random games, but doesn't shut down on others...

Hey. I've tried changing the properties of the EXE to run like it would in windows 2000. Hasn't crashed since. Don't know if it's luck or if it's the setting, try that and check if it helps.

>It's probably overheating; the ga[...]
I've tried to underclock it and such, removed the case, "overclocked"(set the constant speed to the max, the noise was unbearable). Didn't help even when the global temp was 25 degrees celcius, and that's >100% cooler than my old setup.

You've got an integrated GPU btw? If so, what model? If not, what's your GPU model?

I still think it's the CPU causing the problem. Old game + new type of hardware = Bad.

Could be overheating. I had a similar problem, but it was my video card.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
