Question...

[mikebruce11]

Sorry I was not sure where to post this so if its in the wrong section please delete this. I have a question about FEAR.

At the EXACT same point in the game my computer will restart itself. I thought it was my video card over heating. So I replaced my 9800Pro 128 with an eVGA 6800GS.

Same exact video settings, same exact spot...computer restarts. Its driving me nuts. I get the blue screen of death as well sometims before it restarts.

Now I also installed 3dmark and it stops while doing some audio tests with an error. Could these crashes have to do with my soundcard?

Here are my specs:

AMD Athlon 64 3500+
Seagate 250gig HD
1 gig OCZ DDR Ram? (I think)
Soundblaster 5.1 Live Audio
Windows XP SP2
eVGA 6800GS 256mb AGP
Asus a8X Motherboard?

Any help would be appreciated.

If it's always at the same spot, it's either

a) a problem with your hdd. Try defragmenting it and run a surface scan. You might have bad sectors.

b) your memory. Memory can be faulty and when accessed at a certain register, crash the computer

c) a bug in Fear (unlikely, since i haven't heard from others about this)
