Unreal Tournament Stalling

[JealousMidget]

When I play UT, the original not new one, it stalls during game play. It started when I switched from my T-bird to XP processor. No other hardware has changed. I even downloaded a patch (4.36, I think) eventhough I never needed a pathc before, but it didn't work. I even tried loading the latest Hyperion drivers, but it still stalls. Any suggestions?

Specs:
Epox 8k3a
XP 1600+
Win98SE
GF3
WD 80GBSE

I read somewhere that UT was sensitive to OC'ing so processor and VCard are both at stock, but it didn't help.

1. download Nvcleaner
2. download dets 30.82's
3. nvclean any nvidia drivers and install 30.82's

4. check your temps ?
5. what hsf are you using ?

CPU temps are ~46C after a deathmatch. I went throught the gammit of NV drivers, I am using 23.11 which I loaded after last fresh install. So there are no old drivers gunking up my system. And frankly none of the newer drivers improved performance. I would rather not upgrade my video drivers just for the sake of upgrading.

I did remember that I ugraded one other piece of hardware at the same time I upgraded the processor. I went from 256M Mushkin pc2400 to 256MCorsair PC2700 XMS. I have reduced the memory timings to the least aggressive. Still no go. Is there a problem XP processors or Corsair memory?

I played the game for a long time with my 1.4T-bird @ 1663 and my mushkin memory at the most aggressive timings and my 23.11 dets with no problems at all. I played the game right out of the box!

It is a little frustrating to watch the image freeze only to see your body parts scattering when it unfreezes! :scream:
