Computer freeze.

[|$m0k!n| - El Novato -]

So, it´s the third time i have to restart the computer in Heretic´s end.

I think it could be sound related, but i don´t find the topic where it´s advise to do something with the sound.

It just buzz, the computer freeze and i have to do a hard boot. Where do i have to check the sound and how it should be set ? i think i remember something about 48 hz or... I don´t remember.

It happened some other times in other sectors, minor issue to me. But it´s the third in a row today in the same sector.

Buzzing then crash?

first try changing audio from 96KHz to 48KHz

if that doesn't work,

double check to make sure your system is dust free,
and getting enough air circulation across the major components
any and all radiators, heat syncs, etc.

Make sure your power supply is also dust free!

the audio buzzing then crash is "usually" a sign of system over heating.

Where do i see the option of changing audio settings ?

Got it. it was in 48. Thanks anyway. :D

how about dust, and airflow?

If it´s always in the same Sector around the same Place then just load an earlier save let a Scout scaddadle over there and look for any oddities U might encounter.

This Notion that a bugged Sound Routine is casuing freezes (As been claimend in some Forum Post !!) only is possible when U have a realy realy old Soundcard (Something like 3 or 4 Years old) newer ones have hardcoded Subroutines that should prevent Software/Electrical Gremlins inside Ur Computer to cause any Mischiev from happening at any Freuquenzy Rate to Ur PC.

What hovwer will freeze Ur System when U have conflicting Drivers on Ur PC, like when U use Ur HDMI Output to play the Sound and have an Onboard Soundcard with old or beta Drivers running, or are hosting beta Graphics Drivers on Ur System. If U have a dedicated SoundSystem (Any other Output then HDMI) this shouldn´t be the fault of Ur Hardware and should rest soly at the Feet of the Software that was lounging around in Ur RAM at the Time of the Freeze.

Just use an Audi Benchmark and U can identify the culprit in about an hour of testing,

This problem was fixed with Windows Vista. So basically any computer in the last 12 years. Modern sound chipsets make no difference as it is all pretty much software accelerated anyway.

I suspect graphic driver crashing would be a more likely cause.
