Call of Duty MW2 is freezing my computer.

[Dwahgon]

I have been playing Call of Duty for quite some time but there's a problem that keeps bothering me. For some reason, in a random point in my gameplay, the game will just freeze my entire computer, and i'm forced to reset. I have all of my graphics in minimal, while running in compatibility mode and checked if all drivers are up to date, and it still doesn't work.
Specs:
Intel Core i5 3230M CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.60 GHz
4GB RAM Memory
Windows 10
Intel HD Graphics 4000

re-install it

The exact same thing is happening to me. Never had any problems with any other game. First I reinstalled all my nvidia drivers but that didn't work, so I reinstalled the game and after about an hour it didn't crash so I thought I was clear, but then when I least expected it, guess what? it crashed.
(Intel Core i7 2.00 GHz, 6GB RAM, 64 bit Windows 10, NVIDIA Geforce GT 540M)
A few times, it went to a blue screen of death. In windows 10 they're actually pretty nice looking haha. It said something about a video scheduler internal error.

What with me is that my entire PC freezes. I can't move my mouse, nor do CTRL-ALT-DEL. The freeze is also accompanied with a buzzing noise.

Yes me too, I have to resort to holding the power button

All your problems are most likely due to heat.

my computer gets hotter playing minecraft than it does playing this game
but anyway I found a sort of fix, if you just quit the game and restart after every match it wont crash. Only tested for a few matches but ill keep this post updated

My computer get's alot hotter playing other games then COD and it doesn't freeze. It gets hot, don't get me wrong, but not as hot compared to other games i played.

It probably works, though it's a temporary solution


I also reinstalled the game and played as admin and it still doesn't work.

you should try reinstalling the items inside the redistributables folder of mw2

c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2\Redist

specifically

c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2\Redist\DirectX\DXSETUP.exe

and

c:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2\Redist\vcredist_x86.exe

I did that^ and it didn't work, but the temporary fix I suggested before has been working. Im ok with that for now, good luck.

I just noticed you have intel 4000, you should really uninstall all drivers with ddu

and then reinstall first the intel 4000 driver that comes from whatever laptop manufacturer or pc manufacturer you own, and then install the amd drivers that your manufacturer offers. and finally after you do that, buy another card if you arent locked into it with a laptop

did you try reinstalling the correct drivers from your laptop or pc manufacturer?

what is your definition of hot? measure it, then post the results. if you have some temperature logging software it should tell right up to the freeze how hot your components were.

I think that's a bit extreme just to make 1 game to work well. And it really only happens with COD MW2. I've played Skyrim and many other games from my game's list and i never had a problem with them.

I kind of measure the temperature by the touch. I've played CSS and my PC got aprox, 70C-80C and I never had my computer freeze when playing CSS, while COD MW 2 got aprox 55-60C. I don't have any software that measures the temp, as they're really innacurate, so i just use the touch.

LMFAO kid you think your hand is exact and a program like speed fan is inaccurate. Serious lulz
