freeze problem

[swedol]

In almost every game I plays it will freeze after like 5 minutes.

Exceptions:
Conker's Bad Fur Day freezes randomly
Super Mario 64,paper Mario and mario kart almost never freezes.

What's wrong?

What are your computer specs?

 

[swedol]

I don't know.

Run dxdiag and check the first page as well as the Display tab. You should really find out what kind of computer you have as not knowing will hinder you on the long run.

what is your graphics card

 

[swedol]

I don't know.
Where can I check that?

I don't know.
Where can I check that?

Go to the display tab in dxdiag. Tell us what your graphics card is.

 

[swedol]

I'm a noob at this.
GeForce 5200

Hm... That should be enough to run PJ64 well. What graphic plugin are you using?

 

[swedol]

Jabo's Direct3D8 1.6

 

[swedol]

Help please.

 

[axcc123]

have you tryed other plugins?

 

[squall_leonhart]

is that Geforce FX 5200 passively or actively cooled?

This sounds more like a hardware problem then an emulator problem, does this issue affect PC gaming as well? and since it is obvious swedol has limited knowledge of his computer asking him questions without telling him how to find it out is a bit redundant.

What type of crash is it, does it completely lock up your computer swedol, or does Project64 just close?

i'd suggest to run any PC game and see if it randomly crashes there as well, as for squalls question what he's asking is does your card have a fan or not. If you don't know thats fine.

A general thing you can do is upgrade your graphics card drivers at http://www.nvidia.com

I've tried other plugins,it just look worse and freezes.
It doesn't freeze my comp just pj64.
It works on other games perfect,just pj64 freezes.
i have a USB-plugin so I can play with my gc controllers.
Can this affect it?
Yes I have a fan.
