How Do I Find Out How Much Specs My Comp Has????

**Jack.Sparrow** · 05-08-2008, 03:42 PM

@ thekrazed - I would say you've figured out what your problem is

Enter all your system information into this site and see what sized powersupply it recommends - http://www.extreme.outervision.com/p...ulatorlite.jsp

@ thatswhathesaid - You could use a program to get all the information.
This article will take you through the steps involved. http://www.techsupportforum.com/cont...ticles/45.html

thekrazed · 05-09-2008, 12:37 AM

:D well, i played for 4hrs straight last night, and not one crash, and thats with SEVERE underclocking of my card, but it still runs faster than my mates 8800GT.

BigTuna · 05-09-2008, 02:26 PM

All of your specs are really high, make sure to update you drivers and also u can try going to your steam consol, right clicking on the game, click properties, click launch options, and in the box type -autoconfig close the box and start the game, if that doesnt work if you havnt already there are loads of help in support section at steampowered.com

thekrazed · 05-10-2008, 01:36 AM

yeah, i found my problem. was infact that my GPU wasnt being supplied with enough power while CSS was running. Seems to get enough in COD4 tho. so thats a little wierd

**Jack.Sparrow** · 05-10-2008, 03:42 AM

Glad you sorted it out too krazed and thanks for posting back to say what the issue was.

lukey177 · 07-11-2008, 04:06 AM

**Jack.Sparrow** · 07-11-2008, 07:31 AM

lukey177 · 07-11-2008, 08:57 PM

Before playing game

Voltages

**Jack.Sparrow** · 07-11-2008, 11:30 PM

That GPU temp looks a little high, everything else is fine.

Could you post the screen shot of this screen.

thekrazed · 07-12-2008, 12:05 AM

can u link the graphics card u have?

the crashes came back after a while for me, but it was easily fixxed with a little bit of research. Seems the 9600GT Core Clock speeds just cant be handled.

My original clock settings were: 700mhz Core Clock and 950mhz Memory Clock.

Download RivaTuner, and underclock the Core to 570mhz and up the memory to 1000mhz, and the it runs fine. Seems a little odd tho, but then again, nVidia do have some weird issues when it comes to their cards at times.

Hope this helps.
