Errors, believed to be memory problem

[Volkof]

Ok, i did search through the forum and found tons of threads on fatal errors, but none of them actually give a proper solution.

Here are my problems:
1) When I am playing Warcarft maps (I mean ANY maps), frequently during the middle of the game, it just crash. (Sometimes WC3 just crush even when i am just at the Main Menu)

2)When i open World Editor and was edditing maps, this Error pops out and the whole program closed down b4 i could save my data.


3) Even when i am just playing online flash game or serving the net, the error sometimes appear (not as often as in WC3) and the webpage closes.

Well the errors are getting on my nerves. I couldnt play a full game, go bnet, and it hinders my map development. I really want to solve this problem

I have reasons to believe that this is related to the RAM. Currently I have 2 RAMs, one 512MB and the other 256MB.
Im not a computer expert, so i was wondering if that is the problem causing the errors. If u guys can think of any other solutions, pls let me know.


Thks in advance.

I think it's just Windows.
I never have the problem with my browser because I use Firefox, go onto google and get Mozilla Firefox 2, it's WAY better than Internet Explorer.

Hm... even melee maps crash like that ? If only custom then mostly they got bugs in them and it isn' t your fault they create bad maps.
> Middle of editing map ?
What you are tring to edit ? Adding JASS and then enableing it ? If there is some Ifs without endif they instantly crash Word Editor (or was it with loops...). What Windows are you using ? Do you got latest drivers for your video card ? Not comptable (How to spell it ?) video card ?

EDIT: Hm... in error message word "written" points that it could not save data to ram or something. I' m not expert. If you got money to spend buy new ram or wait for more responses. Or just remove that extra 256 ram and it should work or your ram is damaged. To check is it ok download programs and test your PC ram- it should take some hours to check ram or so.

My friend Seannny is currently having the same problem, he did a virus scan and found a worm. So, do a virus scan.

I USED to get the problem, but it stopped when I did a virus scan, or was it when I reinstalled Warcraft... Do whatever takes less time works first, I know one of them fixes it =/

Edit > Ok, when Seannny removed the worm it started working.

Um windows? Im not sure what does that mean. Currently i dont have any anti-virus software installed. I will install one asap

No..its not the bugs in the map because how can all maps contain bugs.

That map that i was creating in WE was new. no triggers were added yet, only some doodads, terrians and a few units.

I suspect that it is the memory problem, because i remember sometimes (occured about 4-5 times now) while i was playing a warcraft game, the computer suddenly restart itself.

By the way, how does removing the 256ram help? Whats wrong with having 2 rams of different capacity? What should be the suitable RAM?


thks in advance

Windows is a just a type of computer thingy or whatever.. i.e. There's Mac, Windows, etc...

It is probably a virus, this question has been asked before, so I think about 1/2 of them had a virus, I think...

Everything with more complexity than.. well anything will have bugs.

Warcraft III does have problems with memory management, not much you can do about it other than buy new RAM. And it depends on your motherboard for the suitibility of RAM.

 

[Volkof]

Do u know how to check the competebility of the RAM and motherboard?

My motherboard is from Gigabyte Technology
My 2 RAMs are:
1) Infineon 256mb
2)Twin MOS 512mb

 

[Volkof]

I would like to know if 2 RAMs of different capacity, will it cause any problem?

 

[Evote]

i had the same problem its a huge leak somewhere or a trigger which does somthing which causes errors and btw 2 different rams don't cause problems. but to different types of ram do. they both sd? ddr? Rambus DRAM ? cause they carn't mix

try disabling a trigger at a time till the error stops
when u find it re-make it differently
And i dout u got a virus.
Bitlord doesn't usually give viruses.
Also that error ISN"T A VIRUS or ur windows it's just somthing u've done in editer proberly a trigger.

I think u guys misunderstood that this error occur only during map editting and when i am playing warcraft maps. Let me rephrase my problem:

1) When I am playing Warcarft maps ([B]I mean ANY maps[/B]), frequently during the middle of the game, it just crash. (Sometimes WC3 just crush even when i am just at the Main Menu)

2)When i open World Editor and was edditing maps, this Error pops out and the whole program closed down b4 i could save my data.


3) Even when i am just playing online flash game or serving the net, the error sometimes appear (not as often as in WC3) and the webpage closes.
Some games that I play: www.armourgames.com
                                  www.crazymonkeygames.com

4) (i didnt add this because i thought its not necessary)
Do u know that even when i am replying posts (aready happened more than 10 times) or just surfing through the net, a pop up error saying [I]this application has encounted an error...dont send[/I]

Its not just warcraft where i get this error, do u understand what im trying to say now?
but thks for yr suggestion anyway

 

[Volkof]

Hmmm 2 weeks has passed and the problem still exist...

 

[Miz]

Well heres what I suggest have you even done Virus Scanning, delete cookies, etc. because that has happen before if that doesn't help
It can't be your connection
It has to be inside your computer I'm guessing not from an outside source if you can't fix it I'm suggesting get pro geeks to look at it
but keep that as a last resort...

 

[Volkof]

Sry im not very familiar with cookies, how do i delete them?
I guess virus infection is the most possible cause...

Try calling Geek Squad LOL. My friend has a computer repair company typish thing. You could, but I doubt it, come down to orange city, iowa and look for Stephen Lawrensen. Hes a tall blond kid. He is pretty good with computers. Him and his dad. He built his own computer too. LOL i really dont know why i even care.
