Re: random freeze and complete lockup (PC)

Hi again!

I see the that the problem isn't solved yet, it seems to be a error within the Armored Kill since there a bunch of other PC players having the same problem. Just for testing.. try to put down the grapics and play a round and see what happens.

Since everything seems to works well, and your computure is a bad ass and should handle it, however if the there is a C++ error, for like AK, then it dosen't matter wich PC you have. But try this and report back if problem stil exist.

    Hi again N1T3MAR3,

    last night I noticed the lockups now only occure during load change (e.g. map changes) so I disabled windows power saving for CPU as I did for the graphics card some days ago and the next map change worked. Disabling those doesn't actually effect the down clocking of neither cpu nor gpu.

    But you are right, it might be a problem with the AK but to verify that I need to test some more, which I unfortunately can't do until monday - real life got me booked for the weekends. So I'll report back here next week with the results of some more testing.

    Thanks & have a nice weekend,

    hey guys,

    just a quick update: I'm playing for 2 hours straight now and will report back later if it locked up or not.

    Regards,

    I have been playing for two weeks straight now without any lockups.

    So what has fixed all of this?

    - windows power management (disable pcie and cpu power savings - especially for Z77 boards, because they do power management on their own)

    - repairing each and every c++ & .net runtime installed on the machine

    - re-installing the game

    - installing latest AMD 12.9 beta drivers

    - manually updating nvidia physx

    along with the stuff mentioned above, here's the additional thing that finally fixed it for me:

    - uninstalling, completely removing, wiping everything that monitors voltages and settings like that from my pc.

    (speaking of: ASUS AI SUITE, MSI AFTERBURNER, SAPPHIRE TRIXX and so on...)

    In conlusion the black screen errors can be caused by almost everything that we fixed throughout this thread and it's finally gone.

    I'd like to take a minute and thank you guys, I really apprechiate your help and I owe you one!

    In addition I can now reproduce blackscreen lockups by for example enabling pcie-power saving in windows or installing ASUS AI SUITE and other power-monitoring stuff.

    And here's the reason why: From time to time there are negative readings recorded for GPU Voltages on 7xxxx GPUs and this is what seemingly causes the crashes when using those software components, that were originally intended to help you.

     

    Again: Thank you guys!!
