Hi,

I've tried disabling xfire with joy. I then wondered if it might be running a quad core cpu but it won't let me uncheck the number of cores in operation. When you get to 'set affinity' up comes a window blocking any advance. Any ideas?

Thanks.
 
Actually I should be more specific, it's more of a lock-up than a crash. It doesn't return to desk top. It can happen at any point. It started the other day and it only happened once so I thought nothing of it but tonight it's happened about three times in around less than an hour. No, I haven't installed any mods. I bought it in the Steam sale so it should automatically be kept up to date.

Thanks for the Bethesda link, had a quick look on the Steam forums but nothing caught my eye. I'll give it a look tomorrow, too late now. Soon be time for dream land. :)

Can't help much here, other than to say I've not had any problems with Morrowind (steam or cd version) with Quadcores and other modern hardware and OS other than crashing due to mods.

Been having the same problems with Fallout 3 GOTY, also bought in the Steam sale. Non of the solutions offered from any forum have worked for me. Strange that I didn't have any problems when I owned the retail version.
 
Oblivion and FO3 are reknowned for random crashs constantly. They also have problems with ffdshow. I have had morrowind crash on me a few times as well while i played it a bit but got bored too fast because I was spoiled by oblivion's easyway. So you will never likely be able to ever get these games running fully smoothly.

Disabling music and radio in fo3 makes it a lot more stable too.
 
I've luckily never had a problem with FO3 or iirc Oblivion, which I haven't played for absolutely yonks. Good news though, 'seems' that I have sorted the problem with Morrowind. I stopped forcing AA in ccc. That, so far, has done the trick.

Yeah there are a few that say this but it doesn't make sence as there are so many people complaining otherwise. You can find hundreds of pages on google about it with no true fix's. Think some just get lucky.
 
I expect peoples' problems with the games vary, so it's difficult to pinpoint a fix. What might work well for one might not another.
 
I've never seen a post anywhere where someone has said "o mine works" and been able to say why. They get asked their hardware,os, drivers etc. It's a pc. What works for one should work for all. Stupid games!
 
1 to the consoles, I guess. Rather have my PC though. :D Still crash free so I'm not complaining. I have found to not use forced AA has helped in a few games, SS2 being one of them. Other things were necessary in that game to make it work however. :D
 
Morrowind, FO3 and Oblivion have all been very sensitive to certain sound cards and drivers, in my experience. FO3 and Oblivion refuse to work with my Asus, I have to use onboard sound for them :(
 
I'd never play a bethesda game on a console. Total waste. Their games are designed to have a good shell and content but they are always just missing some spark or there are improvements to be made. The beauty of it is that they know this so they give such great modding tools to the community which bring their games alive. Consoles miss out on that. I'd play fo3 on pc even if it does crash every half an hour over a perfect running console version. Though I do feel playing things like oblivion on a controller might be nice on the big screen. However I like to manual aim on fo3.
