Full game + computer crash
-
Where do should I start troubleshooting complete game + computer crashes. Entire computer freezes up, does the low pitched buzz sound, and power cycle reset is needed to fix. No blue screen, just stops.
Three times so far...
- on a Right click
- while rapidly clicking,
- regardless of what time in game and it's even happened in campaign.
Using:
- ACu highlight
-Advanced Target Priorities 1.1 - Advanced Reclaim Info
- Common Mod Tools
- Eco Manager
- Idle Engineers 2
- Philip Crofts Soundtrack
- NoShake
- Random UI improvements
- Supreme Scoreboard 2.3
- TA Music
- UI Party

We'd need the logs of the game. And given that we're talking about a (game) crash, you can also enable the faf debugger:
-
Thank you kind sir. I've enabled it and went next crash occurs, will be back to this thread with logs.
Much appreciated!
-
@Jip Crashed again. What files and how do I upload them to you/this post?
-
In the logs folder you should be able to find the game. The identifier matches your replay id
-
@Jip Thank you. Do you want all log folder data or just the file (game_17825107.txt)?
On the old forums with Downlords' Client, there were (3) things they asked for and I used to be able to upload right onto the forum. (eg https://forums.faforever.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=18934 )
Would you prefer an online hosting service(like FileBin) with me posting a link here? Or is there button I don't yet have access to allowing upload on this forum?
I'm sorry to ask all these noob questions- but when I was looking for a Sticky Thread with instructions, I didnt see one.
-
The game logs should suffice, after enabling the debugger!
-
Got it, here it is.
-
My browser reports the website as unsafe. Could you use https://pastebin.com/ instead?
-
I can see that site with no issues so I tried to copy paste to Pastebin but they didnt' like it
I'll just upload that same file here game_17825107.log

Log looks good,
no sound errors or something that can obviously cause a crash. -

There is something wrong with your hardware or drivers. Use Prime95 + Furmark to stress-test your hardware while monitoring temperature and maybe make a memory check.
On a modern windows version games are no longer capable of crashing your computer unless your hardware/drivers already have problems.

Thank you @Katharsas @Uveso and @Jip so far I've not had any crashes provided I have nothing else open. This probably confirms what Katharsas was saying in that maybe my computer can't handle FAF + x.
It's probably time for a new computer just holding on to the nostalgia tower abit longer.
