Hi,

Then im back to square one then.

I Freeze whilst running it on Vista, and i have changed the settings many times to no avail. The manufacturor of the game has told me to run stability tests etc. etc all came out fine...

Although there is one thing i'm not sure about :

When i'm using Vista, under the compactibility drop-down box for GuildWars, should i choose

Windows 95

or

Windows 98/Me

or

Windows NT 4.0 [service pack 5]

or

Windows 2000

or

Wndows XP [service pack 2]

or

Windows server 2003 [service pack 1]

Also, should i run as admin? Disable desktop composition? Disable visual things?

Atm im running Windows XP as default.

Thanks for your patience,

David.

no problem.

I have mine set at XP compatibility as well.

You saw no difference between direct3d (regardless of directdraw setting) vs opengl/software mode?

have you tested the card with dxdiag?

Hi,

I don't have a clue with regards to direct3d and opengl, what they mean and where i can use them, sorry.

I assume dxdiag is Something to do with DirectX10?

Oh, you have the game? Have you had any problems?

Your patience is valued,

Thanks,

David.

I have not played in a while (its been hard to tear myself from CS 1.6 wc3 mod for the past handful of years).

I will run through the gW menus when I get home, and see if I can give you an idea of where to look in the guildwars video settings. I am surprised their support did not aim you there first.

typing in dxdiag.exe into the run box should execute your directx configuration utility.

Hi,

I've ran dxdiag.exe and on every page theres no problem. Im also using Dx10.

Thanks for you commitment to this

And yeah cs is a great game , but personally i prefer CoD

Thanks,

David.

Hi,

Recently i checked the temps in my computer, and the GPU is 77degrees, and has a burning symbol beside it.

I assume this is not normal, so i think ill turn the fan up on the Gpu.

Im using the program SpeedFan , so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

David.

EDIT: Its 77 degrees while running no other programs, and about 85+ when running guildwars, which is probably why it is crashing.

Is that Fahrenheit or Celcius?

Celcius - which is worrying

Is your board allowing speedfan to control the bridges or are you able to just view temperatures?

170 degrees not doing anything, brutal. the 15 degree (fahrenheit) flux between somewhat idle and heavy-use states is not terrible.

How quickly does it get up to 170 (from room temp)?

You might get lucky with some canned air and a re-seat.
