cod4 = pc crash

by Domi • 12 Jan 2012, 00:02 • Journals
Formatted pc yesterday, but everytime when I play cod4 for a while (ranging between 5-30 min) my pc just crashes.. I am quite sure it has something to do with CoD4 because with any other game it just runs smooth.

Domi 12 Jan 2012, 00:30
I am playing WoW on high quality and swtor on medium, without any crashes. Can also play LoL for 3 hours straight without ANYTHING happening.

on a serious note, I remember when we won a lan and all got g35 headsets and every time we played cod4, JyrkZ's PC crashed after 1 map or so when he had g35 connected and not with anything else. someone mentioned smth about a mic bug, maybe look more into that :p

I'll give that a shot! So just unplugging it before starting and plugging it in again when i am in-game?
Parent

mant 12 Jan 2012, 15:35
I don't know the solution, I remember JyrkZ just stopped playing cod4 :D

No idea, just plugging in my mic fixes everything. Seriously, try it.
▼
DrLagAlot 12 Jan 2012, 00:39
probably the microphone bug

unplug the microphone, plug it in again after starting the game

it usually got smth to do with the in-game voice chat

(no this is not a troll)
▼
Domi 12 Jan 2012, 00:47
It doesnt help disabling voice chat?

It could be your PSU .. usually that problem occurs if you psu has low wattage
▼
Domi 12 Jan 2012, 00:47
650 watt ;)
Parent
▼
RaNA 12 Jan 2012, 00:49
You sure all your parts doesnt take uP more than 650watts? also check the temperature of your parts
Parent
▼
Domi 12 Jan 2012, 00:50
I am quite sure since the problem has not occured before, and as said, I can run WoW on high and SWTOR on medium without it crashing.
Parent
▼
RaNA 12 Jan 2012, 00:52
Cod4 has higher requirements than WoW but there is nothing wrong with checking the temperature n shit? or try googling
Parent
▼
Domi 12 Jan 2012, 00:53
No answer gotten from google, temperature last time i checked was around 40-50.

check drivers up to date and ru trying MP? and is it cracked or actuall cd key? reinstall and then upgrade to 1.6 1.7
Parent
▼
zeKxa 12 Jan 2012, 01:40
his parts would never use 650W tbh...
Parent
▼
Domi 12 Jan 2012, 01:49
Reinstalled CoD4 today, patched from 1.0 - 1.7 + actuall key. My vid card drivers are not up-to date because then ET FPS will suck hard.

DrLagAlot 12 Jan 2012, 03:17
what's your setup?

I am working on a complete list of parts needed for building a custom PC myself. I first thought a 850 watt power supply would be enough, but after checking everything again and talking to a guy that is more familiar with that stuff I came to the concolusion that I gonna need a 1200 watt power supply if it works on 80 per cent or more of it's resources

Domi 12 Jan 2012, 11:59
Most of my hardware is quite old (gonna order new parts the 15th)

CPU: Core 2 duo, E 4600 2.4 ghz
RAM: 4gb RAM
Vid card: XFX 4890 HD XxX
Mobo: P965 neo-f
power supply:Chieftec CFT-650-14cd

Crashes in what way? Just freezes/hangs? And you've got a RealTek integrated soundcard?

If so, could be PB conflicting with RealTek sound drivers and causing your system to hang, I had it before with any game that uses PB (ET, CoD 4, BFBC2).

Fixed it by dusting off my Creative Soundblaster MX, working like a charm now.

-run as admin
-try compatibility mode
-also something to do with sound settings, you can't put the settings too high in windows or something
edit: yeah, the mic thingie
-your pc is giving signals you shouldn't play cod4...

Domi 12 Jan 2012, 15:18
when disconnecting my mic = cant start cod4 ;)
Parent
▼
zeKxa 12 Jan 2012, 01:40
buy the game?



:D
▼
Cstm 12 Jan 2012, 02:04
reinstall/redownload?
▼
Xo 12 Jan 2012, 02:17
like mant said there's some known issues with cod4 and certain soundcards (mainly onboard ones, realtek). I cant even start the game so dunno you might have to look into that!
▼
Domi 12 Jan 2012, 02:25
got a realtek, so that might be the prob ;)
Parent
▼
Xo 12 Jan 2012, 02:37
solution i found for my prob (which is a bit different from yours and i haven't tried it yet) is uninstalling sound card driver and then reinstalling it from your mobo disk or just generally fucking about with reinstalling it. Am just a bit too lazy to test it out :D
Parent
▼
Domi 12 Jan 2012, 03:01
Without driver installed = crash, with driver installed = crash ;) mobo disk is like win XP / 98 etc only

Conclusion of this is that cod4 is made by monkeys!

Rippy 12 Jan 2012, 09:26
Dose it happen on servers with pb? If so, just update you graphics card
▼
Jinxx 12 Jan 2012, 11:19
does your screen freezes after a while?
because i got that with cod4..

screen freezes but i can still talk on teamspeak etc but ctrl+alt+delete doesnt work so i need to reboot
▼
Domi 12 Jan 2012, 12:01
My screen freezes right away + the typical crash sounds.

if you dont get a reply on here that helps, might be worth having a look on tek9.

its a sign that you need to focuse more on ET & NC, and less on cod:)

Mica 12 Jan 2012, 13:56
Psu or memory I'd guess :(
▼
Domi 12 Jan 2012, 15:12
Then I'd have to find out which one it is :XD But kinda strange it doesnt crash on LoL, swtor, wow, Et or anything else :P
Parent

Mica 12 Jan 2012, 18:12
I've had the same problems occur with the weirdest combinations. Like crysis would work fine on high. And that game did eat a lot of CPU/GPU, but on MoHaa my system would crash.

I can't remember, but I had either overclocked or forgot to increase memory voltage to recommended by the manufacturer :P
Parent
▼
Domi 12 Jan 2012, 18:30
Got no overclocked parts, neither lack of voltage ;) It worked fine before format.

Gonna order new parts in 5 days ;)

What error message comes up? None at all? Have you tried plugging in your mic like I suggested?

No problem really, your computer is smart enough to detect a shit game and does you a favour and turns itself off
