Good luck with solving ur PC, hope ur back soon as usal :)
-
i fixed problems with my old PC, so i can now play argonath on it,
and my new PC is at the store,
next days im on school complete day anyway,
hope to see you all again ASAP
-
PC has been fixed, i will be getting it back today,
so i can finally stop with this stupid PC,
and go on duty good again(no lag, horrible driving and bad graphics)
-
Welcome back :)
-
same problem again..........
im on my old PC again, i still can play,
but i might stop playing because the graphics are horrible comparing it to my new pc,
the game doesnt run smooth now, so i might get to angry on that that i go play good running games
-
What exactly is wrong with your new PC?
-
no idea, i got almost no knowledge of the things,
but its just that VISTA completely freezes,
i could play a few mins, and then it completely freezes
it has been gone a while now, so i expect it back soon,
for now im still on old PC,
but as some have seen it gives me a load of lag,
and thats terrible
-
It's taken that long for them to repair it? Wow, I'd seriously consider taking it somewhere else then.
Honestly, that sounds more like a hardware issue than anything Vista is doing. Is it just when you play games, or do other things cause it? Also, how much RAM does your new computer have?
-
4GB ram,
and i dont know whats going on exactly,
only thing i know is that the PC completely freezes,
no matter what i do
-
Well, you have plenty of RAM, so unless the RAM itself is faulty, more than likely there is a piece of defective or broken hardware in your computer. Software/driver conflicts, heat, and dust can also cause these issues, but from the sound of it, that is not the case.
It could be something so small as a little crack on your motherboard that, when the computer has been on long enough and heats up, the heat could cause the space between the crack to expand just slightly, causing your computer to lock up due to circumstances unknown to itself.
Does it lag at all before locking up and freezing? Do the [Number Lock, Scroll Lock, Caps Lock] lights on your keyboard still work after it freezes, and does the Hard Disk Drive activity light still flash or stay on? (Its the one that flickers and blinks randomly when the computer is "thinking".)
-
i have no idea, its days ago so i cant see if all things still go on
but before it freezes there is nothing wrong,
you can just do things on normal speed
and it was on thursday, im whole day on school so the PC havent been on a lot that day
but, although i would like to know more about PC's, i dont really care this time,
its getting repaired by ppl who do know something about it
-
Alright then. Still though, if the repair is taking that long, that is a little suspicious...
Good luck man. Hope it's resolved soon! :cop:
-
good luck
-
if it the computer just keep freezing then sorry to tell you, but you VideoCard is ruined, its either over heated or the fan might not be working probably. I had that problem, I haded to buy a new video card :roll: so yea, you do need a new video card if its keep freezing every a min.
-
Although it could be the card, that is unlikely at this point Andy. He said it didn't lag at all up until it locked up on him and froze.
Anyway, yes, heat will damage the card. Dust can also be a major issue for it.
A notice to all: Keep your computers clean and dust-free or I promise you that you will have problems in the future.
-
dust isnt the problem, my room is clear ;)
the video, i dont hope so its a good card,
but the repairs takes a damn long time,
so who knows what they found for fault,
and maybe in the card
-
No matter how clean your room is, there is always dust floating around. Because computer's use many fans in them, dusty air is constantly sucked in, and over time, it builds up. :)
-
don't forget that fans collects the dust ;), and my video card was damaged because of dust and problems that was cause by the dust to my fan, which made the fan go slow that didn't let the video card cool down. Lets hope its fixed soon and I hope its not a problem with your video card, because video cards are kinda expansive :redface:
-
Lol Andy, that's exactly what I just said...
-
got called that my harddisk is completely broken.........
its going to some factory all the way in germany...
so i will not have it back for the next weeks :cry:

Thats not fine :(
-
Wtf? I think they are scamming you, because damaged hard disk drives can't be repaired, only replaced. If it really was broken, they'd do what they could to recover the data, back it up, and restore it to a new drive. I'd keep a close eye on them. That doesn't sound like a legit job to me...
-
i dont know what is exactly wrong,
my mum was on phone and came to ask what i wanted to keep on harddisk stuff,
i know its broken and that it goes to a factory,
but i dont know what they will do there, as u say its impossible to repair,
then it probably is replacing
-
Strange that they need to send it away first, though. I'd understand if they did it right there at the repair shop, but all the way back in a German factory somewhere? That's suspicious...

Bian, choose another company.
-
sugarS you say to everybody that they scam you, youdid the same with my PC LOL.
Bian don't worry, my PC got send to the company in holland. The reason they do this is that there is a kind of big or a broken part that the company is responsible for and they need to fix it and give you garantie. They will say and make sure your harddrive us broken or not. Your PC man or woman will fix it or either the company itself. But this proces can take a while I know from own experience.
-
i dont believe them anyway eddie :P
and the shop where i bought it is specialised in PC's,
but it isnt a big shop,
they cant repair everything there,
and mostly all seriously broken PC's goes back to the factory
-
SugarD you say to everybody that they scam you, you did the same with my PC LOL.
I never said you were being scammed...
-
ODD,
Your new PC seems to be able to handle VISTA....
Maybe some virus detection system preventing you?
Must be some serious fault with your computer, hope it is fixed ASAP!!
-
Lol you seem to have skipped a page. Apparently his "new" hard disk drive failed under suspicious circumstances.
-
Yea, I skimmed that!
I took in that info though, hope it is fixed.
"Suspicious"? - not too sure on that haha!
Sorry to ask, but what company did you send your PC off to and what company is your PC by?
-
bought at Compused Computers,
a local pc shop at my town,
probably not even dutchies will know it,
and its an Acer, didnt cause me much trouble yet,
it was mainly VISTA that made troubles
PC is gone for 2 weeks now, kinda sucks, i can handle it,
but it causes big lag attacks whenever im outside LS,
and even in LS im not safe, also makes my work as SAPD teacher harder,
since i cant do driving test
-
It's a pity, sorry.
Acer? I have a computer monitor/screen by Acer. It's very good actually. The shop you bought it from, did the Vista come installed or did you install? If not, where did you purchase Vista? Maybe you missed out a section in the install? Corrupt files?
-
i got my PC back :evil:
they even paid me money :rofl:
so i can finally be back lag free
-
bah bah and bah
nothing keeps away from me.....................
now SA doesnt want to install anymore, some strange data3.cab fault or w/e it is
will have to buy a new SA, will do it very early tomorrow
-
just bought the game again, so im fully back
-
Wow @ your triple post... :S
Welcome back! :cop:
-
Welcome back bian, now we won't see you complain about lag anymore xD
-
Super!!!
Maybe the San Andreas files started the whole problem lol!
Or may have got corrupt in the process.
-
goddamn this crappy PC...........
same problem is popping up again,
currently running in safe mode, i hope it will all come good on itself,
but else i will have to bring it away again
im able to use the laptop, but it is struggling to run GTASA,
so playing wont happen then, only being online a bit
**edit**
my PC died..... tried system restore, but after it just black screen,
nothing works, so i have to bring PC to the store again,
i hope the shop can repair it themselves, but else it will have to go to the factory again, if so it will take probably 3 weeks
as mentioned before i still got my old PC, and our laptop
but both cant run sa smoothly, well my old PC did run smoothly when i played argo
on it a year ago, but last time it was very slow, and probably still wont be good
i hope i can get the old PC running smoothly, but i dont think it will
i will attend to meetings hopefully, but chases wont work
so have fun guys
-
Too bad :(
Lol, I'm having problems with my PC at the moment too. Using another one instead.
-
my PC has been repaired, will probably go pick it up tomorrow if i got some time in the schedule
-
i got my PC back now, there is a problem though, internet
we got wireless, but the PC doesnt have a wifi connection, so you need USB thing to be able to internet
but i dont know how to install it,
im trying some stuff now
if it works i will edit it,
but else i wont be able to internet yet
-
Hope you be full time in server again cause you give other Colour to the server ! :( :neutral:
-
Nice bump.
Bianconeri has other topic about his inactivity already.
-

so good driving and shooting finally again
if i can fix the password download problems.........
-

-
I don't recommend playing games with wireless.
-
we took wireless because of our laptop, so we could use internet on it also
and except that my PC doesnt supports WIFI,
i dont see anything bad with the wireless
it doesnt causes any trouble
-
It depends. Wireless is not fully trustable, because sometimes packages lose while being send. This doesnt matter when MSNing or writing a post like this, but with gaming its far more serious, and more annoying especially when it sometimes disconnects.
Its only my recommendation...
-
well i already play wireless for a while(half a year or more), and i never had any trouble with it
gaming goes fine
