Trouble Shooting / Endless Boot Loop

« on: August 11, 2007, 06:15:34 AM »

I am having a propblem with one of my computers and thought some one here may have the answer.

Windows XP, 1.5ghz, 1 meg ram, GeForce TI 4800.

It had been running fine for ever until the other day when it was shut down. Instead of shutting down it rebooted went through the post and windows screens then went to the Safe Mode option screen. I told the system to start windows normally and it went to the post screen then windows loading screen. After the windows screen it re-posted the computer beeped and the keyboard initiallized then it returned to the Safe mode screen.

It will do this in an endless loop. Always re-posting and initiallizing after the windows load screen then going to the Safe mode option screen. I fooled with it and was able to boot up in Safe Mode. I went back with system restore a few days but it still did the loop when re-booted.

I opened up the box cleaned and reseated all the cards etc, but no change. My first thought was it might be my vid card but now I'm thinking not. My next thought was maybe a Ram problem. Any ideas out there.

Bot Drop / Speed Limit On DM Server

« on: February 20, 2007, 03:23:28 AM »

Ecca and I were playing on the DM server yesterday in the AM and some one with the handle Misfit joined in. He/She stuck around for two or three maps and during that time a number of messages stating " Misfit has been frozen due to excessive speeding." or  " exceeding the speed limit" something along that line flashed across the screen.

Can anyone tell me what that is all about?

I actually noticed that message playing some one a week or so ago when I was on the server but never really thought much about it until Ecca and I started to chat about it.

Is this a BOT thing?? a warning??

Quake / wall hack info

« on: December 24, 2004, 06:02:48 PM »

On occasion I play on a server that has no cheat protection. Today I was on it and one player was shooting grenades around a corner, i.e. through a wall. Is there any thing you can run while quaking that will let you see if some one is wall hacking??

Trouble Shooting / Server and game load problem

« on: December 13, 2004, 03:07:24 PM »

I'm wondering if some one can help me out with these two issues.

(1) I run a LMCTF server for my old clan mates and whoever else wants to join in. I have noticed in the console window that I sometimes get the following message.

Net_Get packet:WSAECONNRESET from 213.226.92.205:3472 the ip and port number may change but the message still pings back on a regular basis. This seems to have no affect on the server. It appears that these messages actually come back from some of the master servers I ping.

Yesterday one of my buds and I decided to play a little 1 on 1 DM so I started a sever through the option menu within quake. After a few minutes of play the server shut down and the above message appeared. This happened three times and we finally said **** **. Any ideas why this happens and how to stop this remote console reset??

(2) When I go to play quake no matter if I play regular DM or a mod I get this message.

Warning:VDP-Opensockect: bind WSAEADDRINUSE. It does not seem to do anything but I suspect it should not be there. Any one know what address it is pointing to and again how to stop it??

Thanks for the help.
