Help with WC3 Frozen Throne, hardware problems
I have:
Pentium IV 2.4 1 Giga Ram ATI Radeon 9800 video card Sound Blaster Creative Labs card Windows XP When I am playing Warcraft III, after a while, the computer freezes with a constant noise. The screen shows the last movement, the only way to use the computer again is reestarting the system. When I restart happens the same over and over. I updated both drivers for video and sound card. Any help? Thanks. |

Help with WC3 Frozen Throne, hardware problems
As a start, set the motherboard to run in AGP4x (as opposed to 8x) and
disable Fast Writes, Sideband Addressing, etc. Disable hardware sound acceleration, EAX, etc. from the in-game options, if they are available. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

Any help? Thanks. Does it happen on any other games? If not, patch the game. If that doesn't help or isn't possible, adjust your game settings. Research any potential issues with your sound and video drivers- it could be that the latest has bugs that other versions don't. Also monitor temps and voltages, particuarly if there is anything else the system can't do stabily. |

Any help? Thanks. Freezing during gaming is often a sign of marginal memory. Try swapping in known good memory, or at least running some memory tests like Memtest. |
