long time problem, first time posting

[carrotonian]

this error happens really soon after the game gets going

everything is working fine until the armies are out and about and lots of stuff is going on

i have an msi motherboar, msi video card w/ ati9550 and the amd 3000 series, it does have a bit of a heat issue thats for sure, but i have a readout on the temp and that seems to be totally random to when it errors out

it will error out with this back at my desktop:

C:\PROGRAM FILES\THQ\DAWN OF WAR\WARNINGS.LOG
C:\PROGRAM FILES\THQ\DAWN OF WAR\W40K.INI
C:\PROGRAM FILES\THQ\DAWN OF WAR\REGIONS.INI

C:\PROGRAM FILES\THQ\DAWN OF WAR\2-28-2006_21_16_04_MINIDUMP.DMP

and that will be that

you havent posted the logs properly.

General advice though: clean out any spyware, defrag harddrive, shut down unneccessary applications, run memtest86 (google) to check for bad RAM and update all drivers.

To eliminate heat (what is your temp readout measuring?) as a problem, take the side off your case and point a fan in there.

Warnings.log and dxdiag.txt please.

its definetly a temperature problem

i got it home from my friends where i was doing the land gaming and took the heat sink off of the cpu and it had no thermal paste between the two

put some fresh stuff on it and it was running way cooler and no error during game play

keep you posted tonight on error log
