Problem with oblivion and fraps?

I have just installed Oblivion and also got Fraps to check my fps, but whenever i run Oblivion with fraps i get a BSOD. Is there a known problem like this with an easy fix? Or do i just have to not run Fraps with Oblivion?

This is the only game i have played with fraps, so i don't know if it is a problem with fraps or not.

Thanks for any help.

And for anyone who was wondering, i can run Oblivion on everything on High, and HDR with ~15 fps. Otherwise i really don't know what kind of fps i get due to my BSOD.

 

hmmm... I don't have any trouble running Oblivion and FRAPS together.
Not sure what's wrong with yours. did you receive any error messages?

 

It says something about a display adapter i think, but it just flashes, since it wasn't a big deal i didn't bother getting the whole message, it had text down the whole screen. I have the latest gpu driver that i can get for a 8600m gt afaik.

 

Yeah i have not had any problems with FRAPS and Oblivion. Dont know what to tell you.... hope you get it resolved

 

Do you have the newest version of fraps? Because they released one last week which fixed a lot of bugs in vista. It solved a lot of problems I was having.

 

i used to get game crashes with Call of duty 2 and Fraps. got the new version of Fraps and probelm solved

 

Hmmm, i'll check that now.

 

Well i decided to play a little without fraps at all, and after a few hours it just froze. My gpu was at ~66 degrees celsius, which is fine right? Not sure of my cpu or hdd, but i would have to assume they were fine if my gpu is only at ~66 degrees right?

 

Use SpeedFan to measure your HD and CPU and Case temperatures...

66C...hmmm, that's bit high...but nothing really serious after heavy gaming, my card usually stays around 55C....

 

I have NHC to check it, but it froze and i didn't have the info on top of Oblivion. I couldn't switch out of oblivion to check the temps.

 

Run Oblivion in Window mode, bam, problem solved... lol
