Strange problem with CnCZH

    Specs are in signature.

    The problem is that CnC Zero Hour crashes a lot. It seems to be the only game that does it as well. Its only gotten worse recently (i believe since the format but im not sure). Basically it doesnt matter if im sitting in the lobby or actually playing the game. It will usually crash within 2 hrs (more often than not within 10minutes). Ive tried different bios's, different cpu core settings, coltages, timings. Only thing i aint tried are different gfx drivers but i aint changed them and they used to work fine (obviously reinstalled em with the format but since every other game works flawlessly id be less inclined to believe it was them).

    Ive tried different hard drives as well cos i thought that maybe the SATA was corrupt or so but it still happens on the ide.

    Basically im outta ideas as nothing else seems to crash this pc atm and im confuzzled. While not a major problem (i can live without cnc) it is annoying not knowing why. Any ideas anyone?

    EDIT: ive tried a reinstall as well.

    I suppose you tried shouting at it :p

    I suppose you have latest and greatest drivers on everything ... ? (including the bloatware riddled audigy)

    Any hard disk thrashing before it goes down? ... how big is your pagefile?

    In your sig you idle is a higher temp than under load :confused:

    Are both Generals and Zero Hour patched up with the latest patches?

    Everytime it crashes ;)

    Got all the drivers that had to working for before.
    Hd's fine as far as i can tell. As i said i tried it on a couple so i doubt the hard drive(s) are to blame.

    Sig has been ammended :p

    CnC: ZH doesnt need generals to be patched at all. Have experimented greatly with this at LANS, trust me. However in the interest of thoroughness i hope your right and ill try it now ;)
