Random Blackscreen Crashes
Hi,
I just recently bought the gog.com version of the game and installed 3.6.10 version of the SCP.
I had previously played 3.6.9 with no problems. While playing FS2, TBP randomly my screen turns black, the sound loops and I have to reset my laptop.

I have Intel T2400, 1gb of ram, Radeon Mobility X1800 (yes, I tried both atioglxx.dll, and turning off the thingy in throubleshooting)

Re: Random Blackscreen Crashes
Read the support FAQ, please. Follow the steps necessary to create a debug log. Recreate the bug, if at all possible. Then post the log here.

Re: Random Blackscreen Crashes
Also add information like your operating system.
There are three things that last forever: Abort, Retry, Fail - and the greatest of these is Fail.

Re: Random Blackscreen Crashes
That sounds suspiciously like a general crash, not something that is related to FSO directly.... Is your system stable in general?

Yup, it is stable. I play lots of games, record (mix) music and such... and I do not have any crashes at all... (except of those when playing TBP). But yes, taking from that I have to cut the power down after each FSO crash - it looks like a general crash... (but still it only takes place while playing FS)

Re: Random Blackscreen Crashes
Okay, next thing to try would be if the same issue appears on nightly builds (this is the latest). If it does, please post a log from the debug build (which is only included in the non-SSE2 package).

Re: Random Blackscreen Crashes
Crashed during the 2nd mission of 1st Vidmaster's Fortune Hunters campaign.

UPDATE:
Something hit me... I downloaded speedfan from the net, ran it... had a session with a vacuum cleaner and my fan air intake  :)
So far stable :)

UPDATE 2:
Happened again. But I think that I found the solution. Unstable power unit, which causes graphic card to switch to "power saving" mode when it disconnects.
