CLR-GTR

So you won't be bored for the upcoming decades :lol:

Just to confirm this: PC's been on for over 6 hours already with only google chrome open (several sites open including youtube for a few songs). I just started up ETS2, and after 15 minutes it crashes again. Major difference this time is I don't have to press the reset button anymore since it reboots itself after 5-10 seconds. So no. A windows reinstall is nice and all, but will not help me identify the problem if I have to search for it without installing any unnecessary software, because it's the gameplaying etc that crashes it.

That's what I started with after I completed the PC. Point is it won't crash then since I won't have anything that really requires some pc power, e.g. games/3dsmax. Those are the things I bought this pc for but those are also the things that seem to get the pc near the crash, whether they cause it or not. I bet 10 to 1 it's me not being experienced in computers that much, but for me it would seem that reinstalling windows cleanly wouldn't be different from installing it on a pc that just got put together. Also, today it hasn't crashed. Been on the web for about 45 minutes to an hour, then played ETS2. PC crashed before on ETS2 as well, but not today it seems. Still doing the routine of disabling Nvidia's virtual audio device and the High Definition Audio driver, leaving only my speakers, mic and the Realtek driver alive.

That would be very odd though considering they should be compatible, wouldn't it? My memory is this: Corsair Vengeance LPX - 16 GB : 4 x 4 GB - DIMM 288-pins - DDR4 - 2133 MHz / PC4-17066 - CL13 - 1.2 V And on MSI's website, the X99S SLI Plus motherboard (the one I got) is said to support this (* stands for OC): DDR4 2133/2200*/ 2400*/2600*/2666*/2750*/3000*/3110*/3333*(*OC)MHz

Memtest did 2 passes and found nothing, just like Burn-It found 0 errors earlier. Had to do a complete removal to get rid of SOME of those extra sound related entries in Device Manager, but I still have an MS High Definition Audio Driver and an Nvidia Virtual Audio Device listed. And they keep getting reinstalled at every pc start-up, despite I set windows (as shown above) to NOT update automatically but to ask me. Yesterday the pc didn't crash, today it does. So it seems I can go the deep way of getting all that hardware out and trying it one by one... Last time I'm putting a pc together myself.

I sometimes switch to parking lights, makes it nice and moody xD

That's already been like that for a while :p Won't make me turn the high beams off though :D

I also noticed they added a second wiper-on mode, which wipes once, then waits a bit before it wipes again. Quite a nice touch, and it did rain pretty long at low intensity (to make that new mode useful/real), so they definitely also worked on stuff they perhaps haven't even mentioned. As far as scandinavia and the new sky/weather system.... It's beautiful :eek: Not messed with: Messed with (ingame photomode color sliders only)

Will do. In the mean time, while yesterday the trick of disabling that stuff worked, today it did not. Before doing anything I first disabled and removed those drivers again, then I played ETS2, but after 30-45 minutes, it froze again. Great, so it might actually be hardware related, just what I wanted...

I can now confirm, I've been playing GTA V for some hours, again after first disabling the two Nvidia audio entries and the monitor from the audio list. So that for now seems to be causing the crashes... Weird but true. Now to find out how to prevent them from coming back every time. Still gonna run memtest this weekend.

Well that's the problem: it's already set to ''let me decide what to do'' and ''never install drivers via windows update''. And here's what I mean with the ''nvidia audio'' and my screen being in the Audio section: First expanded list is Audio devices, happily listing my monitor which eh... I didn't buy for sound purposes. The second is Sound, Video and Game controllers. No idea what those Nvidia things do in there, no idea how they keep getting reinstalled. So with yesterday, I noticed deactivating them and undoing installation of the questionmarked items prevent the crash from occuring. But as you can see, shutting down the pc and starting it up again, relists the nvidia audio stuff and my monitor as audio device (I assume because it's connected via HDMI... but it has no speakers as far as I know). Any ideas how I prevent it from reinstalling it every single time again (other than trashing my GTX970 and getting an ATI card :lol: )

I just got Burn-It, did two runs (trial version, so I got 30 days worth of 15-minute cycles). The only errors it gave me (with all on 100%) was that it couldn't detect an optical disc for data, which is correct, since I had no disc in the drive. Everything else passed both times. I'll try memtest this weekend. Also what I noticed, today the pc didn't do the crash. I did this trick again: Device manager > audio devices > disable all except ''speakers'' and ''microphone'' (it also lists my monitor and a few realtek audio things) Then I do the same under ''control for sound video and games'' (not exactly sure what it's called in english), where it seems to list realtek audio things as well as some Nvidia audio things (???) I already told earlier I did this, but apparently my pc keeps re-adding/reinstalling all that stuff at every start up... In-between question: any idea how I can prevent them from being reinstalled all the time? I already have ''automatically detect drivers'' deactivated under Devices and Printers.

It has 4 sticks. I do know they are in the correct channel setup. But wouldn't memtest detect that as well if that is the error?

@windowsthing: lol well now it is running windows 8.1 x64 Pro :p I copied it from the old post before I installed windows on it. Memtest is a sure one to do very soon. As far as GPU drivers: I installed the one Nvidia released specifically for V. It's not a beta one (I don't download beta drivers) and there are no newer ones yet.

Ever since I started using my new pc, it seems to be suffering from something that causes it to crash. I first thought it was GTA V, until I one day didn't play V but did something else instead and the pc still crashed the same way. What happens is that when I turn it on, it freezes up entirely. It seems to be happening within the first 10 minutes of actual usage, which seems to be anything that's more intensive than having Google chrome open. When freezing, the very last note of sound will get repeated endlessly, mouse doesn't move, bringing up taskmanager doesn't work, the only thing to do is smacking the reset button. Then, when the pc is done rebooting, it won't happen again (I've been playing GTA V after such a crash for 8 hours without any issues). However the next day, same story again. I've already looked it up on the internet, and it can be anything between double audio drivers fighting with eachother, to a cd drive even if it's never used, to overheating GPU's/CPU's/motherboards/PSU's. Internet did teach me to find the windows logfile functions. Maybe anybody here has an idea, or has gone through the same.

Surely if it's hardware related, shouldn't it then happen all the time? Any suggestions, tips or directions are very welcome. Camels that can explode pc's by touching them are also welcome.

I'm not sure on ETS being a good one for this. Yes it might be a more ''obey the rules'' and ''driving, not racing'' game, but for example entering the highways is a bit odd with the incredibly short merger lanes. Also, I don't know what it's like in other countries, but the way ETS2 traffic handles roundabouts is very different from how I was taught to handle them. If you dó get it, I think it's wise to get a mod that gives you a normal car to drive, instead of a big truck. First game that would jump in mind for me would be City Car Driving, the game Ryzza mentioned. City Car Driving - Car Driving Simulator, Car Game Other than this game, I'd say to just grab any big racing game with traffic and free roam mode. I wouldn't rely on games like AfC11, World Racing or GTA's xD. And just try and blend in with the traffic and try to pick slower cars perhaps.

Allllllmoooost theeeerreee... but not yet! Almost out via this door: SCS Software's blog: Almost There!

PC: 72-HDM-90 (somewhere around level 23 I think).

Well done, that was nice to compare :D 1.17 update is now in public beta. Here are the change notes: Source: SCS Software's blog: Beta update 1.17 is now ready for public testing!

That circuit Escalade..... hoooooooooooly grand canyon full of vomit.

A bit like that raised Maserati 4-door mule (which I think was an Alfa really?). I find too mint for a mule though. I wanna see improvised ways of panel attachment. I like irregularities, stuff like missing center caps, tape here and there, measuring equipment. Now they just riced a Rolls. I think the AMG GT3 made several appearances in this topic, already telling it comes with a 6.2 V8 instead of the 4.0 hot-V unit. This is what is sounds like:

I hope they pull it off this time. Too bad it's not like an hour or 2 earlier :(

Was already proposed, formats are too different so it won't be a simple conversion, people will need to remake all textures and perhaps meshes too.

Plenty of tutorials on the web, in text and videos. Don't be shy to google a bit. In addition to those, some tips: General: - Look for blueprints and dimensions, seperate from each other is always possible, but some blueprints show the actual dimensions of the car. Use that to create a box within which the car will be (bounding box). Remember however, blueprints never 100% match each other or the real car, not even those of the elite car brands. - Use above tip combined with wheel size calculators so you know where the wheels are and how big they are. - Look for a lot of reference pictures, best would be of several cars, in several colors. Even though it might be fun to play with colors during the modeling, take a color like grey, one that shows you the lighting/shading on a car without confusing reflections or colors that make it hard to see lines, surfaces etc. - Google wireframe pictures of other people 3D car models so you can see how people made the mesh at tricky points (headlights, intakes, dashboards). 3DS - Something that might be subjective: I find it easier to model a car with too many polygons at first, and later dive into a process of finding what can be achieved with less detail. I find that easier than the other way around (model a car like a brick, then adding detail, vertices and polygons). - Make regular backup parts before you start drastic stuff. I model cars starting with a closed bodyshell, then I make a backup (which I hide from view), and then I start chopping up the original bodyshell to try out stuff. - You could choose to create a Biped helper of around 1.80 to 1.90 meters tall which you can use as a mannequin to fit inside the car and adjust positions of seats, steeringwheels etc a bit better. REMEMBER TO CHECK YOU LEAVE NOTHING BEHIND, INCLUDING THE HIDDEN DUMMY HELPERS. - Try and avoid the Tools > Mirror function. It basically turns polygons inside out in a very weird way which will either mess up the way you see the car in-game, or the way you see it in 3ds max. Regarding the mirror thing, there is a long work-around to use Tools > Mirror while keeping everything correct. Say you model a left front wheel and you mirror it to a right front wheel, you'd have to go back to the left one, attach the right one to that left one, then detach it, and make sure the 3ds Pivot of that right wheel is in the correct place. By attaching Y to X, Y will always take the orientation of polygons of X. For the rest you're better off asking the modders for help or reading through some of the tutorials on this forum, there is a specific way to build up cars for each game, including for TDU.
