| 672390 | 2008-05-25 03:50:00 | Hey guys, I just went out and bought Age of Conan recently and popped her in to get started. Once the install begins it'll go for about 20 seconds then freeze and flash to a BSOD really fast and restart. After that restart the system doesn't recognize the HD and asks to boot from a CD. So after some panicking I thought to try unplugging the HD from the mobo and putting it back in. It worked. I tried installing it on the partition with XP on it and it worked.. but that doesn't have the space as it's meant for the OS only and stuff. It just crashes on my one available partition. I'm running XP SP2 with a samsung SP1614C with 160gb in two partitions, one for the OS. I've done a chkdsk on both drives and it worked fine, defraged, ran anti-virus/malware removers but none of that has helped. Anyone out there that can help me with this? This sucks ;[ |

| 672391 | 2008-05-25 03:59:00 | Check the Age of Conan tech support forums for this, it's a better place. forums.ageofconan.com I can't access it because i don't have the game, so i'm not sure if it is of any use to you (need a CD key), however it's always best to check the publisher's tech support first as it may be a known issue. |

| 672392 | 2008-05-25 03:59:00 | Maybe it doesnt like the other partition, if it isnt C? How much space is left on both partitions? |

| 672393 | 2008-05-25 04:59:00 | I did post there, but this problem is isolated to me. No one else is getting it. It's a problem with my computer, be it software or hardware.. I dunno. | Redgie (13790) | ||

| 672398 | 2008-05-25 09:55:00 | is there any other text there or is that all? | williamF (115) | ||
| 672399 | 2008-05-25 10:14:00 | is there any other text there or is that all? It said all the usual BSOD to my knowledge.. a problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer a process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been terminated if this is the first time you've seen this blahblahblah take these steps check to make sure new hardware or software is properly isntalled. if this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufaturer for any window updates you might need. if promlems continue. disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. disable bios memory options such as cachin or shadowing. if you need to use safemode to remove or disable components, restart blahblah then after the error code beginning dump of physical memor phys mem dump complete contact your system admin or tech group for further assistence. That's about it.. took a picture with my phone. |
