SWAT Gerbil Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Hey there, Pretty much my problem is occasional artifacts, freezes, and nv4_disp driver error crashes in Far Cry 2... Errors generally occur after a little bit of play, 20mins or something like that.. From what I can tell, my GPU temps are only hitting ~65c, maybe a little more. It's coming into summer here, today was about 34 degrees. Don't ask about dust, or airflow please, my system is a couple months old, and I have a Antec 900. System (all stock): C2D E8400 XFX 9800GTX+ 4GB OCZ 1066mhz RAM Antec EarthWatts 650w Possible problems: Drivers, heat (but I don't think so), software, or just a dogdy card?? PS: I can run Crysis on max settings (No AA) without crashes or anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Far Cry 2 does similar things for me after about 40-50 minutes of play. Corruption followed by a crash to desktop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWAT Gerbil Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Reinstalled drivers a couple of times (Driver Cleaner included) Can't turn up fans, 'cause of new drivers... I guess I'll try a game reinstall Anyone else got ideas? Waco, do you get a nv4_disp error in beautiful 4-color and a res of like 640x480?

ccokeman Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 Jave you guys sownloaded the 180.42 or 180.43 driver yet? You can use rivatuner to up the fan speeds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWAT Gerbil Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Are you sure? I have the 180.43 drivers, and they're the reason I CAN'T up the fan anymore... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scr4wl Posted October 28, 2008 Posted October 28, 2008 Waco, do you get a nv4_disp error in beautiful 4-color and a res of like 640x480? I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't make drivers that stopped you from controlling the fanspeeds. also i hope that res is a typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWAT Gerbil Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Nope, no typo on that res... It crashed to desktop at 4-colour, 640x480 res... And I'm sure, ungrading to 180.43 drivers disabled fan control in rivatuner (and I even got the latest version of that to be sure)... XFX 9800GTX+ by the way And now I'm pretty sure it's a software error.. Sometimes when it freezes, I can still Alt+Tab out and shut it down... Dunno what causes that bloody nv4_disp driver error though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
