I told you how to elevate - "(run it [the Command Prompt] using right-click and select 'run as admin')" but you do need to be logged in an administrator account.

Sorry I am distracted by work.
This is the results of the check disk and it found prolems so I will try to fix after work tonight and if not I will buy a new hard drive.
Thanks again for helping this old guy and sorry I am such a noob at forums.

OK, good luck with the fix run tonight and I'll probably hear from you tomorrow.

I decided to not even mess with it and I just ordered a 240GB SSD so I will get back to you when I have my new drive and have played the game for awhile.
Thanks for all your help.

Are you using Turbo Booster mapped to a joystick button, just prior to the crashes?

This is a known issue, but often hard to seperate out from other crashes. I have often seen it happen when mapping the function directly to a joystick button, anywhere from 10 - 30 seconds later and usually in combat or when lots of things are happening onscreen.

If so, try mapping it to a key instead and retest.

Yes it is mapped to a joystick button but I am not always using it when the crash happens but sometimes I am.
I will try but my new hard drive will be here Friday and I am going to redo everything anyway.
I will try that tonight though, thanks.

I put the SSD Drive in and so far it is working I had some minor stopages last night but it recovered itself and went on.
I played a total of 7 hours with no crashes and I am getting ready to do at least 12 hours today so I will keep you posted.
I am going to switch back to the turbo boost being controlled on the joy stick and see if that makes it crash.
If nothing else the SSD drive is very fast and my computer is now rated at 7.4 with my hard drive at 7.9.

OK this is finally letting me post, I tried clearing the browser cache but no help then it started working out of the clear blue.
I am still having game crashes and I am no longer even using the turbo boost and I have thought about deleting and starting over with a fresh install without the bonus pack.
I have tried my graphics down to low on everything reminisce of DOS days.
Here is the latest but with Microsofts great error reporting it probably won't help.
I have completely given up of ever doing the last Dead is Dead achevment but it would be nice to play longer then three hours without a creash.

OK thanks. A few requests first, have you reverified the games with Steam and are you getting any CTDs with any other games or applications?

When you changed to SSD, did you reinstall the OS and games or did you clone/copy the drive contents across? Is your old HDD still in the system and maybe used for pagefile etc?

Please run and post a new DxDiag and we will all take a fresh look at this.

Meanwhile, do you have any way of monitoring hardware temperatures and voltages? I think we have to do some stress-testing soon to eliminate system hardware issues under stress.

I'm looking at common hardware between your old and new PC.

Are you using macro keys on your Logitech G110 when playing X3? If you have a spare keyboard, unplug the G110, use the other keyboard and retest X3.

Are you using high levels of AA and AF (Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering) when playing X3? You could be giving your GeForce 550 Ti a hard time, so test X3 with no AA or AF.

Finally, are you overclocking your PC? If you are, test X3 with any overclocks removed.

Let us know how you get on.

I cannot see anything wrong from the DxDiag except maybe that your D: drive is a bit full - I hope it is not the pagefile drive. I take it that you have reverified since the new drive.

What is the power rating of your psu and are your voltages all holding steady under load?

You might consider doing a RAM test, either a downloaded tool such as MemTest 86+ or the Win7 facility.

I had an issue similar to this that was actually caused by my antivirus and malware programs. It's quite a long time ago so I don't remember the specifics, but I was getting a lot of false positives that were pointing towards hardware problems not software but I'm fairly sure it was related to how my antivirus viewed 32bit programs running on 64 bit OS.

I have to disable my anti virus and spyware totally before playing DiD (and I really don't like doing it.) Just thought it was worth mentioning since you've had the same problem over three machines and it was similar to my early experiences with DiD.

I had the d drive disconnected for over a week and it still crashed every day.
I do not OC anything not my processor and not my video card.
I do not use the programmable keys on the key board and by the way this was happening on my last computer also which did not use my mouse my keyboard my motherboard my processor my case my power supply and not my new hard drive so it is not my hardware.
Have we even considered it might be something wrong with the game or are you not allowed to reveal anything of that nature?
Oh and my memory is new also.
Oh and I left off that I did not even have a antivirus installed wheen I did my new harddrive I had forgotton to install it and I still had a crash.
Power supply is 750 watts not sure of the load but I don't think it can be very high but I will install the utility to check.

Not sure if you will see this but nothing I do will let me post so I am editing my last post.
I started a new vanilla game and it does not freeze no matter what I do. It never fails in vanilla but every time I do a dead is dead game it freezes in either the save the station part of new home or the Black Hole part of final fury.

"Have we even considered it might be something wrong with the game or are you not allowed to reveal anything of that nature?"

If the problem was in the gamecode then how would you explain the 98% of users who run the game happily without crashes every 3 hours? No there is no cover-up and any known game issue would be declared, but we do know the engine is sensitive to certain things in some users' systems and set-ups. The problem here is that we are not seeing the usual suspects in your DxDiag.

The psu should be fine with that rating.

Would I be correct that the only common item left now to the last 2 PCs that saw this issue is the graphics card? Maybe the original PC of the 3 was crashing for a different reason to the last 2 (such as perhaps lack of RAM). (Yes, we are grasping at straws here.)

Could I suggest something that might give you more faith in the gamecode - play the vanilla game for a period that would then make a crash seem likely to happen very soon in your experience. Now make a save and upload it onto a fileshare site. If others can play that save for a decent while, then that should convince you that the problem probably lies at your end. Also the other players may just spot something going on in your game.

@ Rednoahl: If you want Tech Sp for your issue then please start a new thread with all the relevant info.

@ duwardl: The inability to post is due to a server issue that has a workaround here.
