hey guys.
here is my system:
Akasa Ultra Quiet 650W PowerPlus Active PFC ATX2.0 PSU
dfi lanparty ut rdx200 cf-dr crossfire socket 939 motherboard
amd athlon 64 3200+ venice 90nm socket 939
geil one 1gb 2x512mb pc3200 bhs cas1.5
connect3d radeon x1800xl 256mb gddr3 avivo (pci express)
maxtor maxline III NCQ 300gb 7l300s0 SATA 16mb Cache OEM
Mitsumi FA 404M 7in1 ISB 2.0 floppy media drive
Sony dw-g120a dvdram drive
running Windows xp medcia centre 2005
i have updated motherboard + graphics card with the 7.1 drivers from ati and still the same problem.
heres my problem:
half the games i run work fine. half the games dont. the games freeze for around 10 seconds, then i get a vpu recoverer message that says it my grphics card stopped responding and had to be reset. i dont know what to do. i have contacted ATI/AMD time and time again and i get the same POS automated response that just tells me to install the latest drivers and hope for the best.
i contacted the place where i bought the parts (home/hand built machine) and they couldnt help me atall. but i didnt build it. there is no way for me to contact the builder (absolutely no way we parted on bad terms, he wouldnt even get off his lazy arse and help me try and sort it when we were friends!) and i am sick of the problems i have.
i dont want to spend £600+ on an upgrade that wont do a thing so i gotta try and sort this out myself but i am pretty much F'ED cos i know nothing really about any of it!!!
heres the wierd thing: list of games that work
neverwinter nights 2
oblivion
dark messiah
dark crusade
company of heroes and quite a few more
list of games that dont work:
boiling point
COD 2
stalker (beta build, a little cheeky hee hee)
guild wars
(this list goes on and on and on, but those games i really want to play, and just crash all the F'ing time!)
can anyone help me with suggestions or anything, from what i need to do or absolutely anything i can do to try and resolve this. i have crash reports for ATi on my desktop but i dont know what format they are or how to open them.
if worst comes to worst i will wipe everything and try to start again (bios, absolutely everything, like it was bought fromt he shop in parts, and EVERYTHING needs to be done and installed) but i dont know how, as i didnt build it. its a long post but i hope someone can help me.
well thats it, i dont mind emailing the error report to someone if they know how to open it, like i say its for ATI and i havent a clue how to open it or what format it is in.
