Posts from The program disables the machine.

After installing the licensed DVD of "Tribes of the East," my computer stopped booting. The first time, I managed to boot using the parameters suggested by the system. The game ran more or less normally, but after about 6 hours, it crashed with an error message. The second time, after turning on the computer, a black screen appeared, and it froze. The Reset button didn't help. I manually turned off the computer. Then, I tried turning it on again. After about five minutes, with clicking and whirring sounds, it finally booted. Seriously worried about the computer, I restored the system to the state it was in on the day the program was installed. The computer's functionality has been restored. Computer specs: Celeron-2.53, GeForce-6200, RAM - 1280. OS - Windows XP. Before this, all "Heroes" games ran normally. I bought the disc at the official "1C-Multimedia" store. What could be the problem? Should I try installing the program again? :confused:

It seems to me that this is a software conflict, or rather, a driver conflict. Try installing the latest drivers for your video card, motherboard chipset, and DirectX 9.0 (the latest DirectX End-User Runtimes (August 2007)). You can also try increasing the size of the swap file. Without taking any measures, I don't see any point in installing and stressing your computer.
