Shoofly Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 (edited) Eilo.. When I am playing AOE3 demo, after only 1 min of playing, it minimizes and the message "Unable to allocate memory, size: 128 (or some other random number) Game will now exit. OK" I've tried Google, but all I can find is BS at the Microsoft support page. I have updated drivers, both BIOS and card.. I've even tried ATI-support, but I cant find any related topics. I have now sent them a ticket thingy.. Also, when I play HL2 the game shutsdown and I hear the warning sound, but no warning appears.. Sometimes even, the computer simply reboots, even when not playing.. NEVER do I get a blue screen or warning. I have spent zillions of hours trying to solve this, but I have no clue what-so-ever. Card is ATI RADEON 9800PRO 128MB AGP Please, someone help me.. edit: its a PRO Edited September 10, 2005 by Shoofly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelly Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I'm having similar problems with my 9800PRO. I get blank, textless bluescreens whenever I play a relatively new game. My solution to the problem is to piss on the card and buy NVIDIA, since I've tried everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cran. Posted September 10, 2005 Share Posted September 10, 2005 I guess Microsoft went anti ATi (Despite have a ATi GPU in the xbox360..) and are going to force all ATi users to switch to Nvidia As with the HL2 thing, it might be something with your drivers. Drivers can really f*ck up and restart things, my Motorola modem makes my computer restart with the orginal drivers.. must just hate my ATi 9800 pro 256mb on that computer It seems the world is Anti-ATi as it stands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taxman Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 It could be more then your GFX card... Maybe you're system's overheating (That would explain the system shutdowns), or one of your computer componenets is going (RAM, Mobo, GFX card....)

Devyl Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 How about some system specs, like how much memory, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoofly Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 It could be more then your GFX card... Maybe you're system's overheating (That would explain the system shutdowns), or one of your computer componenets is going (RAM, Mobo, GFX card....) Every time I turn on the computer now, I get "System restored after critical error", and when I send the error report an MS site opens telling med that a devicedriver is causing it. (Yes, I updated the drivers, didnt help a bit..) I also have put all the fans to 3500RPMs... MSI K8N-Neo3 geForce3 Socket 754 AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 2.01Ghz Corsair Value S PC3200 DDR-DIMM 512MB Unbuffered, Non-parity, 64Megx64, CL2.5 Maxtor 120GB HD Windows XP Professional SP2 Hope I was detailed enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
