Black loading screen after reformat/reinstall

(1/4) > >>

My computer was being lame and BSOD'd a lot for no real reason. I had tested every single piece of hardware and handed it over to my boyfriend who maintains testing at WD (Which knowing him, explains a lot, really) and everything was normal so I just wrote it off as random bad driver/stupid corruption and reformatted the drive. That isn't my problem. My problem is I'm getting that stupid black loading screen with the funky animation.

I googled a bit and found the EA BBS thread were mass amounts of fanbois were bitching about it when WA came out and the official EA solution appeared to be don't use anything from MTS, nuke it with Revo and reinstall. Did that, didn't work.

This combined with my previous episode of rotini baby while TS3 was working perfectly, I'm wondering if it's not the game and my HDD is just majorly fucked and screwing with things. I'm inclined to think it's the game or something my game affects though since other than aforementioned BSOD'ing, I've had no problems outside of sims related activities. I'm also content with it being my fault, but from what I can tell from the BBS it's something to do with registry errors and patches.

I have all ep/sp + patches and my rig is above recommended specs. No cc at the moment.

Don't believe anything you read over at the BBS. Also you don't just get BSOD for no reason. I've used this forum anytime I've needed help and they've always been spot on and fast about it. Have you tried using 3Booter?

This post turned utterly useless after the first sentence. You've been shitting all over this forum with useless replies and waving your cwurts fan boy flag. GTFO. I can only hope Witch starts moving your posts to intermingle with those of that thing you've expressed your undying love for.

To the OP: This is clearly a corruption issue. Either the source of one or more of your EPs is corrupted or your hard drive is corrupting it on transfer.

kissing_toast:
Ah, no, if your PC is giving you the BSOD its for a reason, it just doesn't happen. Whether it's Sim related or not. Maybe her HDD is going out on her, maybe its something she wouldn't even think of. As for Cwurts, it's not my fault no one else seems to have a sense of humor.

Other than his inexplicable appreciation for Cwuntz, KT's posts have been fine.  I do not see this "shitting" of which you speak.
