It&#8217;s not a new title. But it&#8217;s a new experiment I&#8217;m attempting to do.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve decided to install STALKER &#8211; SoC on my C drive, a change from the norm. I wanted to see if putting a game on it would make it run without lock ups.<\/p>\n<p>Well, lets say I&#8217;m intrigued with the results. It doesn&#8217;t lock up like the others do. It&#8217;s form of a lock up consists of a &#8216;loading too much data at once&#8217; and a crash combined into one single issue. This might reveal what causes my other games to lock up.<br \/>\nAnd as always when it does it, I get alot of heat coming out of the back of my computer. Yet, temperatures remain normal.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing I&#8217;m doing that I haven&#8217;t done before, letting my hardware cool after a lock up. Normally I just get back in after a lock up. Sometimes it locks up within the first 5 minutes. Other times it takes longer.<br \/>\nWhat I&#8217;m seeing though is my GPU seems to be taking the longest to cool down, followed by the &#8220;TMPIN2&#8221; sensor.<br \/>\nCould this &#8220;TMPIN2&#8221; sensor be my GPU&#8217;s RAM temp? Or just that faulty sensor that claims my Northbridge is overheating?<\/p>\n<p>What I was planning to do is take my Sound Card out and let my GPU have plenty of breathing space, and just use my motherboard&#8217;s sound instead. But I still need to update the damn chipset drivers before I do that, which I am still waiting for a response from hardforum.com.<br \/>\nWhy is it so fucking hard to get help nowadays?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heh, no.
