Blue Screen of Death

by Jon Wayman · in Hardware Issues · 08/15/2007 (8:08 pm) · 2 replies

I was using a demo of the TGE to try out the engine to see if we wanted to use it for our project.
The engine was running fine for a while, but it has started going to a Windows error code screen.

I purchased the TGE 1.5 engine recently and un-installed the demo and installed the purchased product. Still getting the crashes. The error codes are produced whenever I try to run the fps, tutorial.base, or any of the other missions. The code produced is 0x8e, 0xc5, 0x0, 0xa03c0b44, 0x0

I am running a

Dell XPS Gen 4
P4 3.4 Ghz processor
ATI Radeon 850XT Platinum 256 MB video card
dual Dell 22" monitors
3 Gb RAM
lots of storage

Anyones help would be greatly appreciated. I haven't modified any of the code either.

Here is the Console Log

    If you getting crash at the phrase of initialization OpenAL, then you need to update your sound-card drivers.
