Random CTDT's

[aodqw97 78]

I'm really enjoying the Alpha and played only a few hours so far.

Most of that time has been spent recovering CTDT's, (my machine specs as below).

Anyone else with this problem or could point me in the direction of a fix/workaround so I can at least spend some time tweaking it for myself?

Thanks.

Thats an old CPU.

If you are using XP it is not supported and there will be errors.

Yep, old CPU and running W8.1

Not had the money to upgrade the last couple of years and getting married next year, hopefully upgrading end of the summer.

OK, I found an updated soundcard driver today for my system that had been waiting forever for and updated it tonight.

Whilst I was at it I also updated my BIOS and chipset drivers for good measure.

My random CTDT's 'seem' to have stopped.

The point of the post is for anyone running older hardware who may be suffering in some area or with similar problems. Don't forget that it's not all about graphics cards, RAM and CPU's.

Yes they are a major part in any system of course, but don't forget the basics and the base level architecture of your machine. Updating these type of drivers just might sort your problems too.

Just thought it may help somebody..
