random game crash

[mahony]

thanx for the effort. I really appreciate it. Here is the conf

tried to sweep but I don't think that the program works correctly. After analyse it suggests all the ATI files. When I click clean it removed all the files and after reboot the driver complained that it's missing some registry entries so I had to reinstall the drivers...

Thats the point of the Driver Sweeper,
it removes all old drivers, and the current one,
if you have a Nvidia card installed before the ATI then clean those as well,
after running the software you will have to re-install the ATI graphic driver.

The conf ini looks ok,
I see you have been running under Direct X and not Open GL though.

I take it other games are ok with your graphics card ?

[mahony]

all other games are ok. never had a problem.
new
reinstalled win on separate disk. updated win. drivers for ATI is from the update (ATI Technologies Inc. ; 1/26/2011 ; 8.821.0.0)

the same result. BUT this time there is a system log!

Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.CRT could not be found and Last Error was The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.

Resolve Partial Assembly failed for Microsoft.VC80.CRT. Reference error message: The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.

Generate Activation Context failed for D:\WINDOWS\system32\atiadlxx.dll. Reference error message: The operation completed successfully.

any idea what does that mean?

Looks like net framework is missing needed for ATI driver installation.

Net frames comes with ATI driver packages usually, make sure you install it.

[mahony]

installed .net framework 2 and updated it with win update.
disabled the onboard sound codec and inserted SB Audigy and it seamd that he problem is solved. I flew some missions w/o problem. Till now. And I'm back. the same smal squares and screen freeze. It doesn' look like a complete computer freeze cuz I can switch on/off numlock. I really dont know.The win log is w/o any error
Can I somehow truss an application??

[mahony]

got a picture of of the screeen. But recently it goes directly to black screen and the computer is dead. Have to reset it. What is depressing that windows logs are clear so from the win view all is ok.

any ideas?
thanks

That looks like an overheating/faulty graphics card problem.

I agree with Alpha... it looks very like a hardware problem. IL-2 is very much stressing video cards, so its possible, that other games still work fine.

Try to clean your hardware with a brush from dust. May help.
