Apart of the timeout message, the log doesn't contain any unusual entries.
That's not the evidence for defective hardware. It just tells that DX doesn't seem to be aware of what's happeneing.
It could also be a driver problem.
For testing purposes you could change the graphic render system to OpenGL or even to software rendering.

Did you try to rename your DeusEx.ini and to start DX, so that it loads default values?

ok so i called customer support about the graphics card and they said to try other games so i downloaded a demo from another game it worked perfectly fine no freezing or crashing so it is only this game thats freezeing the only thing i changed is the attachment below what was changed was these below me

Class=DXMTL152b1.MTLJCDenton
DefaultGame=DXMTL152b1.MTLGameInfo
DefaultServerGame=DXMTL152b1.MTLDeathMatch
ServerPackages=DXMTL152b1

Those four up there are the only things i changed in there plus putting tha files that came with that download in the system folder like it said so i dunno if its that thats messing it up im goin to attach it below here and if u can check it for me and see if anything else is changed or i need to change here u go

Yeah, that's not good. Have you tried changing the render system? Have you downloaded any video card drivers recently? Assuming at some point, your DX game worked fine, have you made any change to your hardware or software related to hardware or did the freezing issues just start out of the blue?

Posted: **09 Sep 2011, 03:34**

yeah ive changed that around still nothing worked the nvidia support told me to download the drives from www.nvidia.com mine is GEFORCE FX 2500 that didnt stop the freezeing i just error checked my pc just now theres no virus either i downloaded direct x to see if that did anything and i just tried again its still freezeing i didnt make no changes to any hardware or anything did anybody check my ini file to see if anything is changed or wrong in there ?

Posted: **09 Sep 2011, 05:44**

I had to ask this, who is your PSU's manufacturer? And how many watts can it provide?
Or did you installed the motherboard's drivers?
Check your HDD with Hard Disk Sentinel for bad sectors.

Posted: **09 Sep 2011, 06:25**

my pc : AMD athlon{tm} XP 2600+ 1.92 ghz , 256 mb of ram

yes my pc came with a cd two cds one a graphics card and the other a sound card both are installed and the sector thing i will give it a try see what it says

Posted: **09 Sep 2011, 13:38**

maybe some of your components are overheating. clean interior of your pc, to remove any kind of dust.

Posted: **09 Sep 2011, 18:37**

dude pure genius thats wut i did just right now i opened it up and took a metabolic end product load of dust outa there and wipe it down a lil wid a damp rag and i go in and play and it still froze but it was like struggling heres wut happened

this time it froze and then unfroze and i was able to pull a weapon out i wasnt able to DO THAT before then it froze again and unfroze it was doin this for a lil while , so yea it could be overheating it improved just a lil another thing i just touched tha card in my pc when i opened its really hot to tha point where i couldnt keep my finger on it for 5 seconds thats how hot it is theres two lil fans in there that arent really blowing to hard to cool it down it blows like as if it was on low

the cleaining helped when i touched tha card to see if it was hot i already exited deus ex by this time but when i touched it again moved it around a lil bit the deus ex stopped workn and the music was like on scratch it was playn the same thing over and over like a scratched big black disc on this old music machines they use to play music on back then it sounded like that so i turned it off i just restarted it anywhere else i can clean inside in there i got rid of like 80% of the dust in there

VERY IMPORTANT: WHILE THE GAME WAS RUNNING AND EVERYTING AND WHEN IT FREEZES I HEAR SOMETHING INSIDE THE PC LIKE STRUGGLING I HEAR THIS NOISE INSIDE LIKE MAYBE THE DRIVER OR SOMETHING ELSE IN THERE ITS LIKE STRUGGLING IT MAKES A NOISE LIKE ITS TRYNING TO RUN MAYBE THERES DUST OVER SOMETHING I CANNOT SEE IN THERE THAT I NEED TO OPEN UP OR REMOVE BUT YEAH YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT SOMETHING IN THERE WAS MAKN A NOISE AND STRUGGLING BUT I CANNOT SEE WUTEVER IT IS BECAUSE LIKE I SAID I CLEANED OUT ALL THE DUST I COULD SEE WITH MY OWN EYES WHEN I OPENED IT SO YEAH ANY ADVICE ON ANYTHING ELSE THERE I SHOULD CLEAN OUT OR REMOVE SOMETHING TO CLEAN OUT SOME MORE DUST WITOUT CAUSING ANY DAMAGE TO THE PC TO THE POINT WHERE I GOTA TAKE IT TO SOMEONE THANX GUYS THE CLEANING WAS VERY HELPFUL

Posted: **09 Sep 2011, 18:45**

THE CLEANING WAS VERY HELPFUL AND THERE WAS A LOT OF DUST REMOVED BUT IT SEEMS LIKE THERES MAYPBE MORE IN THERE THE CARD I TOUCHED IS VERY HOT INSIDE THERE SO THERES BEEN IMPROVEMENT NOW BUT THE FREEZING STILL CONTINUES JUST NOT TO THE POINT WHERE IT FREEZES AND THE GAME CRASHES OR LOSES CONNECTION , NOW ITS LIKE IT FREEZES AND UNFREEZES A COUPLE TIME BUT I WAS ABLE TO PULL A WEAPON AND SHOOT IT WHICH I WAS NOT ABLE TO DO BEFORE SO IMPROVEMENT YES BUT FREEZING STILL CONTINUES

Posted: **10 Sep 2011, 16:43**

I remember vacuum cleaning my old Pentium 4 gave me an extra 50 or so fps in dx

, now i have a crappy Pentium 3.

Posted: **11 Sep 2011, 03:06**

Don't vacuum anything, use blowers.

My videocard failed cuz' I vacuumed it.. I don't even recommend DOING anything relating to Vacuum.. just use blowers or something!
