#glinfo:

 

Video card: ATI Radeon Xpress 1250 x86/MMX/3DNow!/SSE2

Vendor ID: ATI Technologies Inc.

OpenGL Version: 2.0.6347 WinXP Release

[chr0nik]

This just started happening? Has EL worked for you before on this computer? Did you try other OpenGL games or only DirectX/Direct3D games to see if they cause a failure as well. I've spent some time on google and found other issues with people having hard lockups running OpenGL games while DirectX games work fine on their Windows XP systems, but no solutions yet other than the answer you don't want to hear: try a different video card.

 

EDIT:

 

Are you using the drivers supplied by Windows XP? Make sure you have the absolute latest driver for this card which appears to be bundled into a legacy driver package:

 

http://support.amd.c...deonaiw_xp.aspx

 

I found a previous release, like 9.4 I think, that mentioned some other games failing to respond. This should update the OpenGL version number in your #glinfo output.

 

EDIT:

 

For anyone else stumbling across this thread who might help, in PM conversation with Koddy he mentioned that he tried two other games, LoL and CSS both of which are DirectX games not OpenGL (they might have options to use either, not 100% sure, I just briefly googled for their system requirements.) He also said EL worked in the past, as recently as Saturday November 6 I believe.

koddeh!

 

i would like to get some info on your pc - if the harddisk is acting up or not. this will confirm my suspicions, and therefore be able to help you more.

 

do the following steps:

1. start >> run: eventvwr.msc
2. click OK
3. once the event viewer window comes up, choose System on the left pane
4. look for the red X or the ! symbols.
5. double click on the first red X and paste here the details of the Description portion.

chr0nik's way helped,at least it looks so far,tyvm to you too dib at least for post =p

[korrode]

Glad the driver updates appears to have solved it.

That said, if the system had been running EL just fine for ages and then suddenly out of nowhere started freezing and beeping while running the client, if there's been no recently installed software that runs resident (incl. virus/malware), then my first concern would be overheating.

 

Obviously if it's working now don't worry about it, but if it starts happening again you may want to have the (under-load) cpu/gpu/mobo temperatures checked by a technician.

 

EDIT:

Also ofc Dib's suggestion about posting any errors from your event log is worth doing too, if it starts happening again.
