Some Tech Help[solved]

My first post here so take it easy on me

 

Background Info:

About half year ago I decided to take a break from SWG. And so I did. I kept SWG installed on my computer. Since then the only major updates to the computer is a new monitor and a new keyboard(Logitech G15). Because I have played Crysis pretty recently, I have updated all my drivers. Im pretty strict to keep the computer updated and check once a month in pure paranoia to see if the drivers are up to date.

When I left SWG the game crashed/freezed on me maybe once a day or something, nothing that annoyed me. The virus and firewall programs have stayed the same.

A couple of days ago I read on the O-forums about a trial ending in the end of July, so I though what the heck I play some and check out if the game got any better. I logged on and the launchpad updated the game for maybe 15 minutes. Launched the game and...

 

Problem:

I play for maybe 5 minutes and then the game freezes. Sometimes I can bring up the Task manager and shut down SWG from there, but some times the whole computer freezes and I have to reset. I tried to play around with the graphic settings, but the game keep on freezing on me. It feels weird because it worked like a charm when I left the game.

 

Possible reasons for freezes:

New Keyboard G15?

New monitor 22" Samsung SyncMaster 226BW(widescreen)(Using it on 1680X1050 resolution)?

I used to have a 19" samsung in 1600X900 earlier.

It cant be overheating because I put in two extra fans blowing directly on the graphic cards.

 

Other stuff:

Its worth mentioning that the graphic setup Im using is 7950GX in Quad SLI. But it is the system I played the game on earlier, and it worked back then. I had some problems with heat in the comp earlier, but I have since then fixed it with some extra fans.

 

Anyone have a idea? Or a similar experience?

 

I wrote a post on the new support forums on the O-forum, but havent got any real help over there. So i try here, giving it a shot.

 

EDIT: In the character creation, I dont crash/freeze. Created a new character, and it took maybe 30-45 minutes. Weird stuff.

 

Ty for your time.

Regards

The Chimaeran Weaponsmith Guy

    Until you cancel your subscription, you are only helping to continue the cycle of mediocrity.

    Thanks for the tip TookyG.

     

    A simple reinstall of the game did the trick. Dont know why I didnt think of it sooner. Now it works again.
