Hello, If you're 100% sure it's not hardware related, it could be the fact that the Source engine just likes to crash after a period of time. The reason for the crash is generally down to something in the game trying to reference memory that doesn't exist; a stale pointer, use of unallocated/unaligned memory, etc. 50p says you don't have any memory installed on your PC in the referenced address space.
It also happens under Linux/BSD, but it's more annoying under Windows, since it's a nasty dialog box that doesn't go away until you click it. I find it tends to crash (on Windows) after about 48 hours+ (up to about 100 hours once), and it's not necessarily hardware related, since I've seen it happen on three different machines. If you feel up to it, you can always load the minidump into windbg and have a go at seeing what's really up (though, probably a nightmare without debug symbols :). -- Bart King http://www.bart666.com -- +44 781 219 5654 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sir Fragsalot Sent: 30 December 2006 22:55 To: [email protected] Subject: [hlds] what does this memory error mean?
