CTD and frozen screen

[anubis88]

This problem has happened many times, but now i can't seem to go by it.

The problem is that when i load a campaign, after the load bar finishes, the screen freezes somewhere in between the load screen and the campaing screen. After 5 seconds, my laptop get's the blue screen, saying that a fatal error ocurred etc.. etc.., so i need to manually restart my computer.

Usually i tried again and the second time it worked, but now i tried this about 5 times in my new romani campaign, and i still can't get past the load screen.
This usually happens once the campaign is far on, past 200bc.

It's probably because i have a kinda crappy laptop, with an integrated graphic card, but i want to know if there is a way of reducing the probability of this.

Thanks for the help

What is the size of your RAM? Maybe you want to increase the pagefile to speed up things.

Maybe your save is broken, if you upload a file I'll give it a try (don't. forget to post which .exe you are using).

I doubt it's the save game, since it happens with all factions, once i have many settlements, so the game is a bit a laggy. I have 2gb of RAM i think, but it's a laptop, so it sucks a bit i know.

how do you increase the pagefile? what is that anyways?

The pagefile is "Virtual RAM", windows uses it also as a fast repository for data. You should be fine with your size of RAM.

I must admit, for the moment I do not have a clue to help you, I'll ask some more accomplished guys.

Thanks for your help XSamatan. I know it's not to good for my computer to shuting it down manually like this, and it's also frustrating, so any help would be welcomed.

Could you do the steps again to receive a BlueScreen? On the bottom of the screen is a cryptic number, note that an post it, so we can look why you get a fatal error.
