[Trigger] Computer crashes testing feature.

[Alethos]

Hmm... my computer crashes a lot whenever I test a new feature of my map. I'm not sure but I think it's to do with one of the periodical triggers I edited. But my computer has been getting a lot of crashes of 'DPC Watchdog Violation' blue death screens so it may be to do with my drivers... (even though I've checked and they all say up to date).

But- regardless- my computer will invariably freeze when testing out a new feature. I'll post the trigger I think is the issue it may be another recently edited one- or else I used a OE value/ability that I didn't know causes crashes.

The last part used to work fine in the past (I think I only edited the real range value) and the first part is completely new.

Triggering player is not defined for a periodic timer event.
Do you get a freeze or a crash?
A freeze usually means infinite loops, but I can't see a reason why such a thing would happen from these two triggers.

 

[Alethos]

Oops, just fixed that. Yeah my screen will completely freeze. I'll try and meddle around more to see what makes it freeze and what doesn't then.

Wc3 will not crash your computer under normal circumstances. Repeated computer crashes likely mean either hardware failure or data corruption.

If the OS is still responsive (Alt+Ctrl+Delete works) and you are on a multi core processor and on a operating system more modern than XP then it is a problem with Warcraft III running your map. Such problems could include game engine bugs being encountered, bad values for some JASS native calls, bad object data values or even an infinite trigger loop.

If the OS becomes unresponsive at random times, the screen goes blank or starts to show garbage then that points towards defective hardware, likely the GPU. If your computer out right turns off when playing that points towards a defective PSU.
