Trouble Shooting / Laptop locks up continually with newer games...

« on: June 21, 2005, 09:21:09 AM »

I'm getting sick and tired of this thing locking up on me every time I try to run a new game.  This morning I installed RTCW and RTCW:ET...both games crash within minutes of joining a server.

It seems that any game running a q3 game engine wants to crash on me.  I've tried taking the settings all the way down to the most basic and least draining on system resources...I'm talking 640x480 in the lowest graphics settings...still locks up within just a few minutes of playing.

As I said, Quake 3 does the same damn thing, as well as CounterStrike.  Any newer games just won't work, and it kills me because this laptop definitely has enough power to run these games (see specs below).

If anyone knows what's up with this, I'd sure like some help, cuz I'm sick of only playing q2.  =P

General laptop specs:

proccy: Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 - M CPU 1.80 GHz
vidcard: MOBILITY RADEON 7500
diskdrive: FUJITSU MHR2030AT 30 gigabyte harddrive
monitor: laptop default (of course)
Network adapter: Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection

Please help if you can.  thx guys.

We need to do this soon...I'll be home tonight (Monday) and probably the next few nights as well.  Pick a time before midnight and I'll be there.

Alright, I'm here.  =P

This weekend I have mostly free.  If that won't work, I usually have the weekday evenings free, say from 9 pm til midnight (central time).  I'll wait for you to post here applejacks.

BTW, is it intentional that I got paired up with applejacks, who has the same person in his avatar as me?  hehe

How can you get away from anything in q2 anymore?  There's only 10 regular players anymore.  =p

That being said, if naymlis walls, and he doesn't get caught, he only has himself to live with and the shame that he didn't play normal like everyone else.
