more crap about keegz' compy blowing up

[Keegan]

I just don't know what to do anymore. CSS has finally stopped working all together and I have no idea what to do. I've gone through everything in Adam's sticky (different DX versions, low grafix settings, low res, etc.), I've installed Omega drivers, I even punked a better video card off my friend (who's now on PCI-e) and I still get bluescreened when I start up CSS. None of my other games do this. I've even told Steam about it several times and I still get the response of "DERP DERP DID YOU TRY THIS STUFF?" to which I reply "Yes, OVER 9000 times."

The only option I can see at all now is to get a brand new rig. Which I don't have the money for at all.

This is prolly going to be my last call for help. Next time I'm on CSS will more than likely be on a new PC.

I have a 400w power supply, I'm pretty sure I'm ok. And I'm on XP Pro.

You can thank 4chan and Keegz for that one - I read his original post, and busted a gut myself!

My friends don't call me the Voice of 4chan for noffin.

Hey Keegz!

Have you tried memtest86? If that brings up errors, voila! New RAM/RMA RAM is the answer!

If you could get access to a different video card or processor to try in it, that would also help to narrow it down. I haven't seen your previous posts as to any possible things you've tried, but, if none of that helps out, then chances are it's your MOBO being an asshole. In which case, only things you could try do are: Reset CMOS, Set motherboard to default settings in BIOS, update BIOS to latest revision.

Other then that, I'd say your motherboard's pooched and you'll pretty much have to swap everything out for new parts unless you wanna scavenge for POTENTIALLY working pieces on ebay, which I'd personally NOT recommend.

All I can really tell ya bro, hope it helps!

P.S. Gigabyte usually means defective, so MOBO is likely to be broken.

Heroic! Good call!

[Keegan]

Oh, I memtested already, and its OKEE DOKEE! :D

[Rez Prophet]

I've done this. Twice.

[Blitz Ap0C 552]

I don't know the 9000 things you already tried.....but

Did you update your mobo BIOS?

[Fabulous D]

Sorry keegan but ...

>>>i dont get that cartoon at all tjk... can someone explain to me how thats funny?

[The Killing Joke]

I'm really not that sure - although if you go to 4chan, you see all the guys posting Dragonball Z pics about "OMG It's over NINE-THOUSAND!"... I think it's become a parody of the 300 "SPARTAAAAAAAH!" yell, or something.

Perhaps Wise can edgemacate us better.

[ORION]

Vegeta, what does the scouter say about his power level?

DBZ is several years before 300 was conceived. Therefore, we can safely assume SPARTAAAAAAAAAA is actually a parody of DBZ.

I'm saying that the "Over Nine Thousand" yell has become a parody of the "Sparta" yell, in recent months. I realize DBZ is ancient.

and there you have it, this predates 300 by years btw and is unrelated to to the movie... although there are some cross gif's

[Krythos]

Keegs. there might be one thing you didnt do when you reinstalled. that was completely wipe. which might help ya, if not then your screwed.

DBaN (daves burn and nukem I think? not sure on the first name XD) will completely wipe your computer. everything off it, period. then pop in the windows disc. and your done

[Fabulous D]

wow... i still dont even get a smile out of it... weird...

[WiseGuy]

Good Luck with your job interview!

[EyeMaster]

This not resolved yet? If you don't wantto do a fulll wipe and reinstall, try booting in safe mode, uninstall steam and all it's apps, then reinstall it.

Try running the game from safe mode, which shouldn't work

Once you've uninstalled steam, reboot, make sure your steam folder is gone and that the registry is clean. Clean out your "documents and settings", that means find a way to back up your user and delete the profiles in there.

Try it again and see if it works now. (reinstall)
