chynn Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 1. I should DISABLE Cool'n Quiet in the BIOS. If I am running a dual-core CPU, then 2. I should download and install the AMD Dual Core CPU driver from the AMD site. If I am running Windows 2K or XP, then 3. I should download and install the Microsoft Dual Core CPU HotFix from the Microsoft Knowledge Base site. And last, if I am NOT running an FX-60 CPU, then 4. Download and FLASH the 11/02 BIOS Are the above steps correct??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperFly03 Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 There is new driver set from nVidia 84.12 - http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_download...2bit_84.12.html Some DualCore Issues resolved in this set Too bad I can't get the .exe to run properly. It says the file is corrupt so I delete it and redownloaded it from each mirror and nadda. Also I'd like to add tot he record that I flashed my rig to 12/06 (or whatev the december ones are lol) and I couldn't even post with the exact same settings. So i cleared my CMOS and tried OC'ing again and got jack .. I honestly don't know what it is, but those 12/06 bios really really hate me. As for games crashing, BF2 randomly goes nuts on my end. I can't seem to nail down teh problem. I'm running Forceware 81.91, 6.70 and Win XP Pro SP2. It will randomly lag like hell. We are talking 4 FPS max, and I check my ping and its <30ms. SLI is enabled and no other programs are running at all. Sometimes it locks and goes into a sound loop and I have to physicly unplug it to reset it. Also as a side note anyone any know where the link to compatible hardware is for LP UT Expert? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirotaro Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 I've downloaded International Version and it works OK. Maybe U should cleard Ur Temporary Internet Files before One More Download. I also don't like 6.70 nVidia drivers much. Some laggies is what I get too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Well i got home from work 2 hours ago and have been playing Call of Duty 2 and yet again no crashes so that's five days stable now, so i'm convinced it's the 12/7 bios that is the culprit. Others may like to flash to the 11/2 bios and post back results to see how you go.Feedback would be appreciated. Now i think of it i never had the crashing problem when i first built this computer, it came after.But i'm not sure exactally when,all i upgraded where the sound card, hard drives, went to watercooling and last but not least the BIOS. So there it is, hopfully DFI will bring out a new bios that fixes the crashing out of range signal and stops any hesitant people about cooking your CPU with the 11/2 version.Although i think from recall it was only a very select few who had that happen. Man oh man that's is 3 weeks of the biggest trouble shooting i've ever done, but it was worth it i recon :nod: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PredatorUK Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Well you are indeed a god muppet!
