I am hoping that some of the tech gods can help me out here. About a month ago my motherboard went out and since I replaced it COX has been crashing on me, I have been fighting with it ever since. So far I have exchanged the new motherboard for a different one, tried swapping out the memory, as well as upgraded the power supply and graphics card. I also read through most of the posts here incuding the
Common Solutions & Posting Guidelines thread and the
Guide: Vista/Win7/Server08 Crash thread and none of it solved my issues. All of my other games run great but COX is crashing about twice an hour. At this point I am at a loss as to what the problem is, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
