Round 5 - BRDC Sports Car Championship - Brands Hatch [June 10th]

Results are up

Thanks to all that came  

I qualified 3rd for the first time in my multiplayer life
I was so excited after first few corners for keeping that 3rd place, I forgot not to go too wide on the hell turn and went off, and off, and bumped my car and everything....

After that I managed to pass few slower cars, but its pitty since I think I had the pace for few more positions up!

And I started with hard tyres, somehow I expected that they would be more competitive closer to the end of the race, but maybe it was a wrong direcetion of thinking

Anyway, great fun, too bad for so small grid, with double the cars it would be even more fun, and the feeling would be complete...

thanks all

Sad for me to be sideline due to my PC problems

I lost any chance in the championship. I love these cars, so it's particulary sad for me to not be part of it, and also to see a small grid, but i hope everybody had fun.

The way the tyres are modelled are quite bizarre, that is why the Mazda's had our Quali tyres removed because they could go the entire distance with minimal wear. You could probably get away with running softs in your URD although I don't know how wear is with you car.

Sad that Vincent left for the Le Mans quali, and meant at the front I was alone in class but had a nice battle with Pascal and Richard, and very briefly also Ricard, and when both Richard and Pascal made mistakes it allowed me to take a surprise 2nd overral and 1st in class which was nice. Shame about the grid sizes, I've noticed some that have registered for the championship haven't even mentioned their absence since the first race thread.

On the bright side, I have just noticed that I can finish no lower than 2nd Which means I need to win at Thruxton with the hope of Ricard finishing 2nd or lower... tough task

one more time my pc reset
very nervous with that,,i dont find the problem

i was third like thruxton......and crashed

i dont understand my problem

i have tested my computer
with occt and 3d mark
tested the ram and over stress the processor and all is ok
only when i am under rfactor the pc reste off and online
sometime few seconds sometime long minutes of work

if someone have a answer i will be happy

perhaps a problem with the processor.......

i will try with an another one

grats to the finishers

Quand tu dis que tu as fait tourner le processeur, tu as essayé avec un autre jeu ?

Pascal, I had similar problem two years ago. And it turned out that the overheating was causing reseting. It was wery hot summer, no air condition in my cockpit, and it just went off from time to time..

I removed side panels from the housing which made things even worse, as a computer mechanic later told me, since there is a pourpuse of those panels in means of air circulating through the houseing... etc

anyway, now I have the houseing with both panels (it is still the same computer) just with one more fan, and at this moment is working ok, and it is very hot in my place.

if this is your problem, you should feel lucky

I had the same idea (that's why I asked about testing with another game). The other question would be if all (especially CPU) the ventilators are spinning ?

He lives in south of France, and it's really hot there (already...), so it might be it.

i played down clocked yesterday 2ghz vs 3 ghz
and my pc was open with the fan of the house just in front
only 42°C of temp
all the rfactor mods done the same effect ...totally reset of the computer

reset four times during the vlm round yesterday
for info when i went to join more than twenty seconds to join....not normal i think

and i dont have tested another game for the moment

the only soft i tested is the 3dMARKs testers the last one and the 2011 version
and it work fine

680 w consume maximum and 68°C on the the proc

i am searching this evening

Well, Im not an expert, quite opposite, even, in the past I was working as a sys admin in a company...

Try with closed PC, and before that, clean all the dust from the vents and fans, blow it as much as you can, and clean those panel openings too..

Maybe even a smallest pressure on the CPU and MB are causing overheating and crash...

Not to think that Im trying to be smartass, eliminating those facts could be helpfull in further steps...

Petit bilan de mon soucis de reset intempestif sur rfactor :
Malgré des tests de stabilité poussés, PCMARK, TEST CPU, MEMTEST,  overclocking et autre….(OCCT pendant une heure, 3DMARK Processeur QX6850 à 3.73 Ghz  et les GTX 760 SLI overclockés elles aussi )
Mon pc fonctionnait parfaitement, parfaitement stable
Les seuls fois ou il a reseté étant donc lorsque je tentais de copier un fichier massif de plus de 100 Go vers un autre disque dur ou le même. Et bien sùr sur rfactor peu importe le mod avec quelques prédisposition a reseter instantanément en online.

Donc je vous passe le détail des heures de manip et ne trouvant aucune solution évidente j’ai par dépit de monter le processeur de mon fiston intel core duo E4700 à 1.8 Ghz , ne voyant que cela à tenter…..

Et croyez le si vous voulez tout fonctionne parfaitement désormais……

Je vais tester sur le pc du fiston pour voir  si je retrouve le même problème ……….
A priori le processeur a du prendre une claque avec les grosses chaleurs d’il ya quinze jour…

Enfin bon, de retour avec le processeur du petit….
après les frustrations en série de ces resets qui m’auront fait louper 4 courses :  INDIANAPOLIS , OULTON, BRANDS HATCH et ELKHART LAKE.

Pas mécontent de vous retrouver dans de bonnes conditions  …..
Test concluant à Road Atlanta hier soir en TA2…..en attendant de retrouver un autre QX6850


Merci JP et Raul pour votre attention………et potentiellement votre aide  Sympa
Mon tort je pense ce de ne pas avoir porter attention à une surchauffe d’un des core qui a sûrement trop chauffé…serait plus attentif à l’avenir les QX6850 étant par essence seulement limités par ce critère.
