    System Freeze w/ looping squelching sound

    ive sorta given up on this game. for some reason ive just lost interest, though im sur eill come back to it someday. it sounds weird, but the only game im playing now is Zelda: A Link to the Past on a snes emulator. i never played this one back in the day, and damn if it isnt fun.

    System Freeze w/ looping squelching sound

    im running xp SP 1, not SP2 i havent gotten around to trying upping my voltage yet, partly because computer engineering is a bitch of a major, and partly b/c ive lost intrest in hl2. but eventually ill try it out

    System Freeze w/ looping squelching sound

    4pac, i have played cs on my current computer, but not cs source. Since buying HL2 i have not played any source games from valve on my conputer, but i HAVE played vampire: the masquarade (which uses source engine) with no crashes. A friend suggested i try putting my ram back up to 400mhz and...

    System Freeze w/ looping squelching sound

    for me the problem has nothign to do with smoke granades. granted ive only been play HL2 single player, but the game would crash 10-20 min into it no matter where in the game i was, and i havent found any smoke granades yet (dont know if they're even in HL2 single player, but i dont think so).

    System Freeze w/ looping squelching sound

    good call Tenmen and michaelsil1. I am running an AMD64 and my problem is apparently linked to my ram bus, but ONLY with HL2. NO OTHER GAME OR APP has crashed my system... i had not one crash EVER before install HL2. Not only that, but the system is SUPPOSED to run at 400mhz ram bus, im not...

    Freezes With Looping Sound Fix

    anit-chav, check my thread: http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=66482&page=1 for me, bumping the RAM bus down from 400 to 333 worked.

    System Freeze w/ looping squelching sound

    instead, try bumping the RAM bus down a setting. in my case, it was from 400 to 333. for me, toning down the RAM timings didnt do anything.

    System Freeze w/ looping squelching sound

    not exactly the same problem, for me the sound wasnt a game sample but a horrible squelching sound. also, the game would not resume, it would require a hard reset. have you tried bumping down your ram bus timing? seems to have worked for the people who have the same problem as me, though it...

    System Freeze w/ looping squelching sound

    i dont think its a PSU issue, at least not for me. HL2 is the ONLY game/app that has caused issues with my RAM at 400. You'd think that doom3 or COR would also cause this problem, since both max out my system. In addition to that, i have a 420w PSU which i believe is more than adaquate for my...

    System Freeze w/ looping squelching sound

    yeah, im going to try it too, but for me it took WAY longer than 15 min total to install the game. keep in mind, i have the CD version of the game, so installing the game off 5 CDs probably takes a half hour or more, i f i recall correctly. or, maybe i was just so anxious to play when i...

    System Freeze w/ looping squelching sound

    does anyone know if validating your files is the same as uninstalling/reinstalling the game? id assume not, since i think validating is just some of the files, but maybe not the game logic engine or the like. also, have anyone validated their files and had it find a problem? im wondering...

    System Freeze w/ looping squelching sound

    traveller, have you tried bumping down your RAM bus? NOT the RAM memory timings, but the bus itself? when i bumped mine down from 400 to 333, i havent had a crash since. Granted, the game dosnt run as smooth as it did, and ive had to tone down the resolution a bit, but at least i can play now...
