Ok, well, Ive never had a bug like this before, so let me do my best to explain it. Ive been writing an opengl app, runs fine, no observable bugs in it. However, it uses 100% cpu when in use. After 5-10 minutes of being running with no user interaction, strange things begin to happen. I have an asus nforce2 A7N8X, with a voice alert system that spouts off some cpu related error. (I''ll post what it says nexttime I hear it.) I recently accidently left my program running for 20-30 minutes while I was away and I came back to find that My computer was power cycling, and not passing POST in the bios. Has anyone else had this happen to them? Would this be a better question for a hardware forum? Is it (ab)normal for a simple gl app to maxout a cpu? Thankyou in advance!

memory leeks?

sounds like its leeking the memory and youre starting to loose all the memory so you get alert messages. thets what happened to me.

I doubt that as I run the gl app and taskmanager simultaneously. The cpu is maxed at 100% while the memory plateaus stays constant and returns to normal once the app is closed. I will, however still check all of my news and deletes.
Thankyou

I also only use new and delete when I load and unload the geometry. Which is done in InitGL() and KillGlWindow() respectivly.

Thankyou So much. It was a mistake on my part. I was deleting a texture that didnt exist. Thankyou again!
