Re: Wolfenstein Enemy Territory keeps freezing up

Hi Penguinsfly1,

Normally choosing to use the keyboard over the
mouse should not make any difference.

|| Hi Penguinsfly1,

|| Hardware issues can cause freezing, black screens and other
|| errors. Also, your drivers should always be kept up to date.
||
|| Try the following steps one at a time to try and resolve the issue.
|| I hope this helps. Please post back if you have any questions! :-)
||
|| 1. Update DirectX and your Chipset, Sound, &Video Drivers:
|| For all Video / DirectX / Game and Hardware Issues, I have a
|| Checklist of Solutions at: http://NibblesNbitsVideo.tk
||
|| 2. Dust your fans, vents and components using a 1/4" paintbrush
|| and a hose vacuum. Use compressed air for hard to reach places.
|| Set a housefan to blow cold air into your case to expose an over-
|| heating issue.. If it works add more fans or replace defective ones.
|| Use this Motherboard Monitor Utility: http://mbm.livewiredev.com
||
|| 3. A faulty power supply can cause STOP errors, random reboots,
|| and black screen lockups. One way to test for that is to check the
|| wattage sticker on your power supply and then calculate your need

||
|| 4. Test your RAM using: http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp
