Can someone please help me? When ever i play warcraft3/frozen throne, after
about 30 minutes my computer shuts down. Can someone please tell me how to
fix this problem? Or any suggestions would help also thanks.
 
Initially sounds like a heat issue. But it would help if you were a little
more clear. like, When you say shutdown, do you mean the system powers
itself off ? The game crashes, but windows is still up ? What video card are
you using, in fact what are your system specs altogether ?

Have you updated your video, sound motherboard drive with Vista drivers by
the manufacturer,instead of the ones supplied with Vista ?

Can you run other games ? programs ? Only with WC3 ?

details details details
 
Yea when i play warcraft it shuts it self down. Then when i log back on it
will tell me that " Windows has issued an unexpected shutdown. How do i
check my system specs? Do i have to buy something to upgrade my video, sound
motherboard and how do i uprade it.Then when i click on advnaced info it says
this:

well, Since I made my last post I've had WarCraft 3 running (over 30 mins).
System specs is what kind of processor do you have, video card etc. If you
don't know, that's going to make it tough. But, if you bought your PC from
Dell, HP etc, then post the model number and we can look it up.

You can goto www.guru3d.com and download SANDRA 2005, it will be able to
give you your system specs as well.
 
I couldnt find sandra 2005 but i did find Sandra XL it said the version
number was 2007 so i downloaded it. I went to hardware, then computer
overwiew. So here it all is, is this the information you needed?

Heres my model number, Im on an acer (laptop, windows vista was already
installed) and the model number is BL50
 
According to your SANDRA report you have the aspire 5610. The bad news is,
that uses the Intel Graphics card. I have little experience with those kinds
of cards and what experience I do have is that they suck beyond words.

It appears you haven't registered your laptop yet, because when I put in
your serial number it said you were not registered. So I would start wit
that.
https://secure.tx.acer.com/FindSystem/FindSystem.aspx?title=Information About Your System

from there you should get some more options about drivers and updates if
there are any. But given what I know, it may just boil down to a
sub-standard graphics card.

You can do a google search for a program called Motherboard Monitor 5, which
will let you monitor the heat of your system and give you an alert. That way
you'll know if it's a heat issue or not. If it is, you'll have to shop
around and look for places that sell laptop coolers, I don't know how well
they work, but it might help out enough. Also make sure you laptop is well
ventilated and not boxed in.

If nothing else, it could just be a bug with your system in which it's
overheating and shouldn't. You might have to log a call with Acer to find
out what's going on. which goes back to your need to register
 
Thankyou very much you have really helped me out latley i'll check into that,
thanks again.
 
Yea um when i tried to register it. It said this
SiebelSearch - SOCKET ERROR: No connection could be made because the target
machine actively refused it

Whats all that mean? How do i fix it? I also figured out that it is my
graphics card that is over heating so can i buy a new one? Or where can i buy
one or a cpu cooler?
 
If it's your graphic card overheating in a laptop, then you'll have to log a
call with Acer and see what they'll do by way of the warranty. Normally they
will want you to provve to them it's the video card. But if nothign else,
they will pobably have you ship it to them, which could amount to a 2-3 week
wait. It's kinda hard to know those things.

Not much option on replacing a video card in a laptop. They are normally
pretty locked in.
 
Hi Dale can you help with this please?

Halo 2 for VISTA, cant get past the opening credits
Ditto with Halo1 combat evolved. When I reach the mission after the "silent
Cartographer, my screen freezes up, then it goes to black, then back to the
game..,… and the message appears: "Display driver stopped responding and has
recovered". Then another messages appears:
"Attempt to reset the display driver failed, windows will shut down so not
cause any damage".
Any ideas please, NVIDIA Geforce 8800Gts card, latest driver, brand new
computer.
Desperately disappointed, the computer was rated best buy for games.

I have an amd 4000+ processor and a Asus m2npv-vm board with onboard
6150 graphics card. I only have 1 OS(Vista Ultimate) whenever I try
installing warcraft Frozen throne the installer says warcraft cannot be
installed on windows NT:confused:. will it help if I go back to xp if
yes can anyone tell me how do I go back to xp because I can't directly
run xp setup from cd. Pl. help
Click to expand...

Open the CD (Right click on CD Icon, choose Explore or Open)
Find the Setup file (usually Setup.exe), Right-Click on the icon and choose
Properties.
Click Compatibility Tab
Click first checkbox (Run this program in compatibility mode for:)
Leave the line as is.
Check "Run this program as an administrator"
Click OK

Now run the setup program normally. Once the game is installed make sure you
patch the game to the current version (just click on Multiplayer, should
patch automatically if you are on the internet).

Note, you can do this with any game that has problems installing because
some developers don't know how to properly code installers to check Windows
versions.
