Hi,
I ran into this problem today.
After I play STALKER:Clear Sky for about haf an hour the game starts to stutter quite a bit and a few mins later it just freezes or crashes to the desktop with an error message saying something about Memory Write Failure.
I'm only using two mods:
NMC Graphics Pack v1.0 and
Float v3.2
I am also using the latest patch(1.507) and the latest Nvidia Drivers(180.48).
My specs:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ ~2.8 GhZ
2GB RAM
512MB Galaxy Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT
I am using Windows XP with SP2
It runs really smoothly so I don't think it's a performance issue and in the last 5 minutes of the gameplay before it crashes I notice that my whole PC just starts to fail(internet goes down, errors start popping up etc.)
Can anyone telll me how to fix this? Is it one of the mods that's causing this bug?

Running hot?:sweat:
Sorry, first impression, sounded like overheating.

I don't see a reason why it should overheat, my CPU Fan is fine my Power Supply is 650W which is more than enough for one vid card and all my Graphics cards power cables are attached accordingly.
I suppose I can try lowering some of the graphics settings and seeing if that does the trick.

Well it's either overheating or your memory, so you better hope it's the former...

Over-clocking? Not enough space around the vents, grills, and fan exhausts, or anything restricting free air flow? Yeah, hope it's not your memory.

Hmm, it could be the summer weather of Australia, that's doing it. Too much heat and I know that's not good for computer performance(smae thing happened last summer in the scorching days. So I'm going to open up the case to let it get some air and see if that helps.

Just get some PC health monitoring software(Like Everest) and look at the temperature values and you'll know.

Depending on the case - it could significantly worsen the problem. Especially with new cases.

I've never had a problem with this case and it's about 7 or 8 years old.
I tried running it on Static Lighting to see if it were the graphics settings that were doing all this and I got this little error message after the crash:

That looks directly related to the memory loss, again, but the time-delay before it happens is troublesome. Is something saving back-up after back-up into memory and killing it, or something?
