I have a problem with Hammer. Everytime I try to run it, it will work great... for about an hour and a half. Sometimes less. Then my computer (note, not the speakers, it's from the tower) makes some kind of beeping noise. Sometimes it beeps about once a second, sometimes once every two seconds. Scared that my computer is on a countdown to detonation, I try to save my work. Opps, too late. It can't find any files at all. The only thing it sees is Desktop and even then it only Shows My Computer, My Documents, and (I think) Recycle Bin. None of them open, and I can't even save to the Desktop alone. It says Invalid Arguement. So after I exit without saving, then exit from Steam, then reload Steam and my map, it works for about another hour and a half.
I had a problem with my computer about two weeks ago. It was running slowly on the internet for no apparent reason. I didn't have Norton on my machine. and I assumed I caught a virus. I formatted my drive (it needed it anyway) and reloaded everything. I started playing with stuff again and ran into my previous problem. I still didn't have Norton (one of those: "I'll install it later" deals) and presumed I had another virus. I format again. This time I install Norton and make sure that everything is up to date. Too bad, it still hates me. Running Hammer, it unexpectedly dies when it feels like it. After all this formatting, I'm really getting tired of this problem. I really want to start working on my mod, but it's really tough when I can only do it in one hour shots, then lose everything I did in the last fifteen minutes.
Now my question: After reading my computer autobiography which do you think this is? Do I have another virus that Norton can't pick up or is it some odd glitch in Hammer? I have only noticed this problem while running Hammer.
I read a different post where some guy was having a problem and somebody told him to go verify his files. Well, I went to go verify mine (I only did Source SDK) and it didn't find any problems.
