Game Freeze
by Guest corp_dog- 1 reply
- 919 views
For the past two or three days I have been seeing my game freeze about 3 or 4 minutes after I first spawn into a game. I have had no problems up till then. It all started right after it was suggested we change our passwords for this site due to a hack. This game is the only problem I am having. It is not a router issue because the problem occurs with and without the router path. I am running an Alien water cooled computer AMD cpu. Don't ask me to get more techie than that please. I also got a message last night from Origin that they were experiencing loading issues and were working on the problem. Right now I am unable to play effectively so any FIX suggestions woul…

Suggestions on what may be the issue
by Guest Ret.Maj.Xander=US=- 0 replies
- 635 views
Pretty sure I think I know what the issue is, but wanted to get people's feedback.... Over the past week or so my computer has been acting a bit off. Normally when I got home from work I would just hit the mouse or spacebar to wake it up and it would come up no worries, happy gaming. The past few days it would wake up but nothing on my monitors, so I had to do a manual power off/on. That fixed it for a few days but then earlier this week that no longer worked, I took everything out and put it back in except all my RAM, I then put one stick of ram in at a time to see if I had a bad one. That seemed to be it because when I inserted one specific stick then it wouldn't…

Battlefield 3 Has Stopped Working
by Guest Soldat1288- 3 replies
- 1.5k views
Okay, so here's the issue. I was playing BF3, then turned off my monitor and mouse, and went to sleep. Woke up a little later to play again. Now, right when BF3 starts initializing, it gives me the error "Battlefield 3 Has Stopped Working". This is ridiculous! I didn't do anything to my computer in-between those times. How could the game just stop working? I've literally tried almost everything, and googled everything. Nothing is working. If this means I have to re-download and re-install. I'm not. I will be done with BF3, EA, and DICE for wasting my time, money, and tolerance to such crap games. If anyone has a suggestion or something that actually fixes this issue, plea…

CPU Not Booting After Installing RAM
by Guest RoninWarrior- 7 replies
- 1.9k views
I think I have fried my motherboard and/or RAM modules while replacing/installing them. Long story short, I installed the RAM and smelled a light hit of smoking in my CPU. I shut it down and found out that the sticks weren't properly inserted (EPIC FAIL). Now none of my keyboard lights (CAPS Lock & Num Lock) light up. The activity light on the CPU does not light up. I opened her up and did the memory ok check, which fails with all 4 sticks of memory (both old & new because I was adding to the current memory so I'm sure I fried them both). I'm sure that I just fried the memory and I need to pick up some more. My specs are as follows: AMD Phenom II X4 925 …

Darn :/
by Guest PainKiller- 6 replies
- 1.6k views
So about 10 minutes or so ago i was playing BF3 with others from the clan, I noticed a sort of burnt plastic smell, I got down and went to small around my Computer and as I did i saw blue sparks shoot out the back of my computer where the power plug is, I waited a few and soon after saw orange sparks, I then unplugged and took everything (plugs) out of it. It still smells like burnt plastic. Moments before I had cleaned it with the duster thing so perhaps dust got forced up there and caused too much heat? idk, but all I did was pull off the side panel and clean it like I normally have. Any idea as to what happened, how it can be fixed, and how to see if I need a new P…

Recording with FRAPS.
by Guest BigMac530- 3 replies
- 1.1k views
I want to start recording game-play and putting it on YouTube, but I am unable to record while I play due to the fact that it makes the game lag. I know quite a few people here use fraps and are able to record at full settings and still get a video with great quality. I do use an external HD to record the game-play onto but it still lags when I am recording at "high" settings for Battlefield 3. I dont want to turn down the graphics because I can't really play that way, and I don't want to record at half size because the quality of the end product is crap. This is for any game by the way, not just BF3. Let me know what I can do to play at full game settings and still ge…

The new budget buster, I guess
by Guest RET.CDR.CrAzY_NuTtA=US=- 7 replies

GTX 680 was publicly released sometime in the last few days, already a lot of reviews on it though. I haven't had time to read any but I would be interested to know what it puts out, how it stacks up to the closely rated amd 7970 all comes down to testing and price differences. Pricing seems lower than I thought, around £420 is the lowest I've seen which is only about £20 more than my gtx 580 that I got less than 6 months ago ( and mine is probably one of the most expensive 580s). The expensive gtx 590 and 6990 are still dominant with their 3 and 4gb memories. Interesting stuff anyway, 2gb ddr5 , first pcie 3.0 host so loads of bandwidth increase. Kepler is the new th…

Hey guys, Recently been having some slowness problems with my windows 7. Running my OS on a SSD and startup has always been quick and the second It loads into windows I could click anything and would load instantly. Then the first problem started, after windows screen it would be stuck in load screen for exactly 30 seconds, apparantly thats some windows thingy. Was able to fix that in registery. A service wasnt loading and windows waits 30 secs before skipping it. After I fixed that issue when I load into windows my network blue donut thingy takes ages and untill its finished it doesnt let me do a thing. So far I havnt been able to find a single solution for t…

Looking for a new Mouse 1 2
by Guest Harkster- 27 replies
- 5.8k views
Well my last mouse was ok. Had some issues with it to where I sent it back for a refund. In short I am now looking for a new Mouse once again. Any suggestions? I am looking to spend $80 USD tops. Would prefer in the 60-70 range if possible but if it is an amazing mouse I could spend more. I like wireless but can go with wired with my new desk now. Just looking for something nice that works with a button for TS or something. Not a fan of macros so those would most likely go unused. And for those wondering I had bought a Fierce 3500 Wireless mouse. Loved the adjustable DPI button on the mouse. So far the Razor Orochi has caught my eye. But I am checking out w…

Was invited to go play on the practice server with some members, and I thought they were all ignoring me when I realised that my push to talk button wasn't recording my voice while playing BF3. When I turned back to the desktop, it worked fine. o.o Anybody ever had this problem?

Tech Help ASAP Please!
by Guest Soldat1288- 18 replies

Okay, so I updated my motherboard and video card BIOS. I cleared my CMOS, and even removed the battery. I keep getting stupid BOOTMGR is missing error... I've tried repairing my Win7. It said it repaired it, but I'm still getting this error. If I have to reformat, then I'm done; I won't. My internet speed is too slow to get everything back. It took me at least 5 days to download and install BF3, which I can barely play anyhow. Doesn't seem worth it to me if reformatting is my only option...

Anyone Have AMD Processor-Based Computer?
by Guest famusjupiter- 0 replies
- 595 views
It's friday night, I just came home and booted up the computer to log onto teamspeak for the meeting, and lo and behold, my wireless internet adapter is turned off. The infrared switch on the side of the computer doesn't work, and in the BIOS, the wireless network adapter is enabled - which usually is the problem, because the IR switch seems to only work for accidentally switching the net adapter OFF - but when I try to turn it back on, it does NOTHING. Sweet. So then I've gotta go into the BIOS to turn it back on. Until recently, when I discovered that my AMD Control Center, which deals with minimum processor speed, graphics card settings, graphics processing, and, ap…
