I have been having problems with system either crashing (rebooting or lock-ups) and/or games crashing to desktop ONLY when using TS.
I have tested this for weeks and the issues only happen when TS is running.
Talking with some other members of my Gaming Community they have seen simular issues. So not just my setup.
The work around we use is to use TS on another PC while playing one the main PC. This works for some games but many games you need the sound (we use headsets) and if you have your headset on you can not hear sounds from other PC.
NOW, TS works fine by self or other Windows applications (office, email, IE, etc..) so has something to do with the games. We tested this on:
Eve-Online
America's Army Operation
BF1942, BF:VN, BF2
IL2, IL2:FP, Pacific Fighters
So not just one game either.
My system:
Chaintech VNF3-250 (3/15/04 BIOS)
AMD64 - 3200+ NC
1gig (2x512mb) OCZ EL memory
Radeon 9800Pro
Chaintech Media Riser 5.1 sound
Using Windows XP-Pro (SP2) all updates
latest Nforce Motherboard drivers
Newest Omega Radeon Drivers (tried Catalyst not difference except video quality)
The system is NOT Overclocked and has a fresh wipe and install to rule that out too (less than 3 weeks ago).
One other issue I found was that TS didn't like the CMedia drivers for sound so I had to run the Nvidia sound drivers to get TS to work.
Any help to stop the crashes would be apreciated.
