Howdy all!
I was reluctant to post this until I'd tried everything I knew to solve it, as I found that I created my own issue long ago with Civ III. But I don't see where it's my own hardware/software causing the issue this time.
System is:
XP Pro w/ SP2
2.8P4
1G ram
Radeon 9800XT 128MB
Lots o' big HDD's
Dell 20" widescreen running at 1680 x 1050
I have never had ANY problems with Civ IV except for the following happening CONSTANTLY:
I load a saved game. Within 2 turns, the game will freeze for 1 second, then my computer will reboot.
I can click on a ship, I can have my religion spread, I can decide to move the minimap, it's totally random as to what will cause the reboot.
After rebooting, I get the "The system has recovered from a serious error" window.
Here's the error signature:
BCCode : 1000007f BCP1 : 00000008 BCP2 : 80042000 BCP3 : 00000000
BCP4 : 00000000 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 2_0 Product : 256_1
And here's the tech info:
C:\DOCUME~1\(ME)~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERd090.dir00\Min i112705-03.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1\(ME)~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERd090.dir00\sys data.xml
After sending the info to MS, their window will pop up and tell me "Stop error caused by a device driver" if I'm using Omega drivers. If I'm using ATI drivers, it will tell me that it was caused by an ATI driver.
I've tried both ATI 5.10 and the Omega drivers.
I've emptied the system cache
I've downloaded & installed the patch
I've done that workaround with the Art file or whatever
I've increased my virtual memory to 2.5 G minimum
I've turned off every background program
I've lowered detail to medium
Any other ideas, thoughts? I must admit I'm a bit frustrated at this, as I truly love playing the game. But I don't really have time to sit and play each game through to the end, so it might be nice to, you know, load a saved game every now and again...........
