Paul: I tried running TR1 through Glidos, with the Direct3d instead of OpenGL. The game itself seems to work just about as well through there. However, I also tried running Orthos while doing this.

I tried running Return To Castle Wolfenstein with Orthos. Same problem.

There's not really any useful information in the output. It just stresses the machine to see if it will fail. The result is failure or no failure.

Yes, quite, although we shouldn't give the impression we are blaming Lynn for any of this.

How about running a different 3D game (not one that needs Glidos) at the same time as Orthos?

If I might stick my nose in where it does not belong ... :) In the dead of night, a faint whisper from Lynn Perry was heard, on 08/​04/​2007 09:08 PM, and I could have sworn it said ...

That's how Orthos shows up problems, yes. And the beeping is your motherboard warning you of overheating.

A short time after this, I tried running Orthos while running TR1. I let the game run for over 30 minutes and started getting an intermittent beep from the pc.

Yeah, you should really get an expert in to check it over.

Yes, there's AGP involved somewhere. I can get into the bios setup at the start, but I have no idea what I'm seeing while I'm seeing it. Remember, I'm not a computer whiz. :(

Pretty conclusive then. Your system has trouble either with heavy 3D load, or with combined heavy 3D and CPU/​Memory load.

In the dead of night, a faint whisper from Lynn Perry was heard, on 08/​06/​2007 08:07 AM, and I could have sworn it said ... <snip> Yes, I'd say that pretty much sums you up.

tried to download a free copy of memtest86, v.3.3 from memtest86 site. Did same. tried to extract files to a special folder I created on the hard disk for it. Did same.

About an hour and 15 minutes by itself. I had something else I had to do. Not a peep out of it all that time, and it was still running without a hitch when I got back to it. Solo.

A bit unfair to call the thread Spam: it has only in the last few posts become clear that the problem is not specific to Glidos.

Paul Gardiner 09 August 2007 13:04

I installed the orthos application and ran it. I tried each item on the list for one minute each (except "Custom"...I don't have any idea what the terms mean).

Lynn Perry 21 July 2007 22:05

No known conflicts. My best guess would be that your system has inadequate cooling and it's overheating. Glidos would show this up because it tends to run the CPU at 100%.
