Hi people,

It was a while since I last posted, but I have come up with a problem and I can't find anything to fix it :(

I am getting BSODs (BlueScreens Of Death) that is pointing towards a file by the name of "ati3duag.DLL".
It has only happened so far when I play Age of Empires 3 and Torchlight, and it is really bugging me because I really want to finish both of them:(

I got theses specs:

Motherboard: Asrock K7NF2-RAID
Processor: AMD athlon xp 2600+
Ram: 2x 1GB Corsair pc3200 Value Select
Graphics: ATI Powercolor HD2400 Pro 256MB 64bit DDR2 AGP
OS: Windows XP

I have had a series of crashes and fixed most of them, but this one I can't figure out at all.

I have done these changes lately to try to stop them:
1. Removed the asrock IDE drivers and installed the windows ones.
2. I am running Omega Drivers for the graphics card.
3. Reinstalled my C-Media(onboard audio) drivers.

I have read somewhere that it might be mixer.DLL that causes the problems since it is seemingly sound related. Either that or it has to do with anti aliasing which I always have turned of if possible.

I got these questions:
1. This would be the best to answer. How do i solve this for good?
2. How do I turn off the built in windows mixer aka "Mixer.DLL"?

Thanks in advance and I sure hope that we can solve this one together, I am so sick of cooping with BSODs :(

ati3duag.dll is your video driver! something is wrong with that file, try uninstalling all your video drivers and reinstalling it from the version provided to you, and then upgrading if any upgrades are available!

That version of the drivers does not work at all, it makes even more of my games crash:( I got an ATI AGP card and have tried 6 different drivers and omega has turned out to be the most stable one so far.
I am fully aware that the file is a driver for my graphicscard.
I am under the belief that this file has to do with the HD audio that I am not using at all.

I have downloaded a version of ati3duag.dll from some page that I am going to try out later today, but I am almost certain that it will not do any good to replace it.

Yup, that is where I got the idea that it could be the sound card.

Damn, I just noticed that there was more than one page to that thread:eek:
I am going to read it thru and see what I come up with^^

Edit: I am going to try those updates mentioned in that thread, but first I have to format my comp(it is about time) just in case of any wrong drivers and such^^

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
