Computer Crash

When I load the game I can play for about 30 minutes then mxs crashes the whole computer. I know it has something to do with not dumping the memory like it should and that there is a command that I can add to the shortcut that makes it dump and avoid crashing. I know that this is a fairly common bug with mxs but I don't know how to solve it. Any help?

As far as I know, MX Simulator itself does not leak any memory. ATI's OpenGL drivers had huge leaks prior to Catalyst 10.3.

I have an NVIDIA GeForce 310M graphics card, Intel i7, with 4 gigs of ram. And according to my brother it is happening because the ram is getting filled.

Are you running the latest drivers from Nvidia?

Yes he is, and I already had him change the ground resolution back down to 256X256. Changing the resolution, according to him, did resolve the problem of the comp crashing in offline mode, but still when he plays on the demo server. The only error report was that it was a problem with the ram, and I did a check on it resulting in no errors, so it must be the ram not emptying. don't know what it is...

Check the memory usage in the task manager if you think something is leaking memory. Post the error report too.

these are the error codes that popped up when the comp just crashed. the this only happens to the computer while running mxsim. All of these are gotten from the event logs as I cannot find any other error reports in windows 7.

Does it crash with "mx.exe has encountered a problem" or is the computer locking up?

He'll play for approximately 20 laps and the computer will just turn off suddenly, like pulling the power cord on a desktop.

That sounds like a hardware problem to me. Somethings probably overheating.

Hmmmm, I'll have him do a check for heat while playing it again. The windows debugger had only come up with a ram issue initially and I ran a hardware check on it with no errors found. Back to troubleshooting, if I find out more will be sure to notify you. Thanks JLV.
