You don't need ram to run fraps.

Likely if you needed ram it's becuase sc2 has a memory leak problem

Fraps is caped by the write speeds of a hdd, how much space do you have left on the hdd you're writing too. Perhaps at 9 mins of constant max speed writing your hdd has problems thermally or is nearly full.

and system page filing would only work to off load the explorer and crap while sc2 demands more ram which you have plenty of.

Changing it to sc2 16 bit wont do anything fraps will still be taking up the same amount of bandwidth i believe it uses the RGB24 to write it's files

Well I just wanted to make sure his RAM was properly set to dual channel.

Typically when HDD's have issues with FRAPS they cut off and make a new file itself, it's usually around this time too.


CM, have you tried reinstalling FRAPS?

Also, are you still having graphical problems?

Oh, this computer isn't as bad as some may think it is off in it's category. The only problem is you're capped out in ddr2 ram on this mobo I believe.


Let's give this a shot.

Run Fraps on a different game, same res that you play sc2 on, and see if we encounter a similar problem at a near-same recording time.Run it full screen as you did on sc2. This should use a similar amount of HDD space, and we'll see if we encounter the problem again.

We will take it from there. I really dislike considering having 'computer problems' basing it off of using a third party program while running an application that's in beta. It's just not proper or fair to the computer.
