3DSTudioMax and some games
This is a discussion about 3DSTudioMax and some games in the Windows Software category; I was playing Planescape Torment yesterday, and all of a sudden I got a blue screen with Machine Check Exception error. I tried again and after about 10 minutes of playing, same error. Then I tried playing the SIMS, and I got about 15 minutes in and same error.
I was playing Planescape Torment yesterday, and all of a sudden I got a blue screen with "Machine Check Exception" error. I tried again and after about 10 minutes of playing, same error. Then I tried playing the SIMS, and I got about 15 minutes in and same error. I waited a day and tried today, same error after about 25 minutes. I tried rendering a movie in 3DStudioMax R3.0 today too and it kept giving me that error after about 15 frames. Can anyone help? System specs are as follows:
P3 550, Soyo SY6-BA MB, 256 megs of RAM, Voodoo 3, SB Live, Adaptec 2940 SCSI-2 Card, Yamaha 6x4x24 CD-RW. I really would love some help.
Thanks

So...you get the error after a short period of heavy graphics use.
This could either be the driver (you don't mention what version you've installed) or that the card itself is getting too hot...

OP
I have version 1.00.01-SD of the Vooodoo 3 drivers. My DirectX has no problems and passed all the tests. Are you guys SURE it is my Voodoo 3 card? Could it be something else? I have the information from DrWatson I can send someone, I have no idea what it means. I just tried rendering a movie again and it crashed after 5 frames instead of 15
