HAMMER EDITOR FREEZES PC Created 17 years ago2007-04-05 22:15:15 UTC by ToiletRoll

I've had a look at all previous posts but I can't find any solutions and most threads were from 2004 - 2006 (ages ago)

So anyway, I got a new hard-drive for the same PC that had Hammer installed on before... latest drivers for everything yet within minutes of opening Hammer my PC just freezes completely causing me to restart.

Rarely it works for no more than 30 mins then the PC restarts itself without warning. I never had this problem before so please help me as trying to map with this cr*p going on doesn't help

Thanks

Does the computer freeze and you manually reboot it, or does it spontaneously reboot?

I suppose you could try redownloading the SDK and reinstall Hammer?

Also, is there any patern to the freezing/rebooting, or does it occur without warning?

Done all the Steam solutions (delete clientregsitry.blob, Refresh SDK Contents, etc)?

@RotatorSplint: To begin with it freezed, needing me to manually restart but now it can also restart itself.

@Ant: Yes I've tried everything with no luck

But I think I know why it happens. The old story of the PCs resources being stretched and overheating. Never used to do it before though so there might even be a corrupt driver (video) so I've decided to basically take PC apart, clean, re-assemble, reformat. My new hdd of 3 days is apparently already corrupt and damaged yet readable and even starts up properly sometimes with other times the computer saying nothing is there!!.. God knows what's going on

Gah!

Keep us posted, it's good if you end up finding a solution as it may help future users.
