CSS and HL2 Error

CrAzY_GaMeR_07 · 02-25-2006, 09:14 PM

I just got my computer reformatted. So i had to install hl2 and Counter-Strike source again. Now everytime i start up hl2 or counter-strike source an error pops up and says:

Quote:

The instruction at "0x222362ad" referenced memory at "0x0d5d61b0". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to rerminate the program

Specs:
AMD3000+
1 gig ram
2x 80gig in raid0
6800gs

I tried a reinstall of the games, same thing.
I also looked on steam forums and couldnt find anything useful.

Any Help?

i did read about this issue on the steam forums a while back. i can't remember if there was a patch or some sort of action that had to be taken to correct it. have you overclocked your pc at all?

nope

cpu and vid card all stock timings

download memtest86 and run it for a few passes. the memory error could actually be valid. if you get errors in memtest then you know the cause of this. i doubt its the memory though because i remember reading about this and it even happened to me once i just can't remember the actions taken

CrAzY_GaMeR_07 · 02-26-2006, 01:30 AM

ran memtest and now errors

please remember....

is there a patch or something?

sorry i suppose i sound pedantic but do you mean "now errors" as in it errors with memtest or was it a typo?

CrAzY_GaMeR_07 · 02-26-2006, 11:32 AM

no errors*

i moved my ram out of dual channel and it worked. weird...

that may be an issue with the memory controller in your CPU.

I had that problem but mine was fixed with an Os update.

for now, taking the ram out of dual channel is working
