| 440701 | 2006-03-25 19:06:00 | Ok, I have a very big problem when playing Football Manager 2006 . . . It keeps crashing, constantly . I cant get through a game without it just crashing back to the desktop . It never used to do this,and always ran perfectly . i had installed some new memory and a geforce 6600 graphics card a while back (2-3 months) - and ever since then my pc's been a bit dodgy(crashing to blue screen and dumping physical memory etc) . However, it only crashed every once in a while, and as long as i saved regularly, it wasnt much of a problem . Now its doing it every 2-3 minutes . I cant get much done at all! It just says that the game has encountered a serious problem and has to cloe . And then generates an error report ( . dll) in the FM folder . Can anybody help me??? |

| 440702 | 2006-03-25 19:28:00 | i forgot to say that there are also .dmp files generated within the fm 2006 folder. Dont know if this helps with the diagnosing of whats going wrong. :help: | fent (9751) | ||
| 440703 | 2006-03-25 19:42:00 | Can you take out the extra memory you added, and then see if it still happens? Does it only crash in your game, or with other general non-gaming or other non-graphic intensive applications? | Jen (38) | ||
| 440704 | 2006-03-25 23:22:00 | im not too sure how to take the ram stick out . It has hapened a few times when I'm not palying games or doing RAM sappign stuff . |

| 440705 | 2006-03-26 02:20:00 | You said you installed the RAM? Uninstall it. Its easy, pull down the clips either side holding it in and lift it out. | pctek (84) | ||
| 440706 | 2006-03-26 03:20:00 | well, my uncle installed the RAM stick. So in terms of removing the newer stick, i dont know which one was which! :groan: |

| 440707 | 2006-03-26 03:31:00 | It's highly likely that you have faulty memory. Download a copy of the appropriate package (for floppy or CD) of Memtest86 (www.memtest86.com), make a floppy (or CD) and boot from it. | Graham L (2) | ||

Hey, ive got memtest, but the only time ive tried to use it, i wasnt sure what i was looking for? I know it indicates errors - but its not like it says "you have a busted memory" - it just has numebers etc and im not too hot with PC stuff! Also - the memory was brand new and a high quality stick when i purchased it from a leading PC store, so whys it faulty? |

| 440709 | 2006-03-26 04:23:00 | My guess is that although the memory and vid card are probably fine, they're not seated/fitted completely right. Probably a good idea to get your uncle to come round and double check his work. | Greg (193) | ||
| 440710 | 2006-03-26 04:59:00 | It would beep if not seated properly. Take them out one at a time and run your game, thus eliminating which one is faulty. |
