IUMaestro Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 did you make sure you did all of the anti-static hoo hah? and try knocking down the OC for a while.. if that fixes it ten yes it's getting to hot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did that...still freeze.. and it only freezes in Planetside... It did ONCE in PS7 but that was while i was doing the plantside update... I uninstalled PS and reinstalled and its still doing that... think its the ram? I have an idea my ram divider is 5:4 so it runs @ 400mhz ill drop it to a 4:4 see how that works Think it could be the pc4000 ram conflicting? Edit: Ok ive tryed everything... next resort is to format... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper Threaded Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 Sure it's not dying from overclocking? Send it back to ATI for a new one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
p8baller07 Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 Sure it's not dying from overclocking? Send it back to ATI for a new one... get out of my thread, i need no such help from the likes of you. Update: I had my Windows Task Manager open on my other monitor while i was playing PlanetSide It froze when Available Physical Mem droped to 6,611K So i am guessing i have a memory leak or something it doesnt freeze unless PlanetSide is open or like PS7 & winamp & AIm or something like that... i am gonna runn alota stuff now and see... think i should just format? BTW New Cpu comes here tomorrow 2800+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 I raelly dont know the solution to that, maybe reinstall OS, but I want to see what you can do with that 2800+, Got mine to 2.5, down at 2.4 now bc ram is holding me back. Got some pc3200 coming soon ;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomerJaySimpson Posted August 18, 2004 Posted August 18, 2004 I got randome freezes on my 9800 pro. I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled an older version and it ran fine. Maybe cause you temporarily took it out, it messed up the configuration somehow. Did windows detect new hardware when you started up for the first time?

HomerJaySimpson Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 (edited) Its offical you are my hero! LOL, take it easy man....Just sharing my past bad experiences Also, no need to format, just uninstall the drivers and use a tool to completely get rid of them. Then reinstall them and if it still freezes, format B) Edited August 19, 2004 by HomerJaySimpson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
