ill uninstall drivers and see if the option for hdmi drivers appears ( be in custom install yeah ? )
surely tho, if ive uninstalled 10.3 and got offical 10.2 with no bsod's thats a probable cause would you not say ?

I would say just try with the 10.2's for a while. If it turns out it sorted your problem then there is no need to go messing about with other stuff.

Would have to agree to be honest.

Something is making the 10.3's spit their dummy out lol.

Im running the 10.3 beta's with no issues myself also with a creative x-fi card.

Sometimes BSOD's can be a real pain.
 
personally i would do a fresh install. you've an SSD so will take from start to finish an hour at most.

then instal the CCC and see if it still happens. regardless of what you may think there could still be NV drivers laying around or Driver Sweeper has touched something it shouldn't have and has now messed it all up.

i had it with the beta 10.2's. they caused a BSOD and an 0x00000051 registry error so had to fresh instal. yet the official 10.2's have been sweet.

personally i'll wait now until the official drivers are released before installing them
 
Went from a 4890 to 5870, prefured to do a fresh install, and all l use is the ATI Cats built in un-installer, when upgrading driver's and have had no prob's at all, on 10.3 Beta's running just fine here!!!

lol :confused: ulps ? sorry whats that

Go to registry and disable Ulps:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Cl ass\{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}]

and change "EnableUlps" to 0 under the 0000 and 0001 or 0003 keys.

EDIT: if you see any other folders in regedit under {4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} change those as well, i set all the ulps values to 0 just to be on the safe side

it's for sticking the card in a lower power state; this fix is aimed at crossfire users, but it worked when i was just sporting the 5870

i will see what a fesh install does first
many thanks all
im really thinking it is the 10.3 previews as ive just had another 25mins on dirt with no issues, before i was getting less than half a lap with 10.3
 
BSOD indicates hardware fault rather than software. Windows 7 driver model is such that a device driver should not make the system fall over as it would in XP. A video card is an integral part of your system so simply adding a different one could affect the stability of your systems overclock in a big way and you may have to start again in some cases.

I love how the only component you've changed is the graphics card and people start blaming the rest of your system. :D

Try sticking your CPU to stock and see if it still happens, I've seen others have problems since swapping to the 5870/5970 from an nvidia card. Seems to upset some systems overclocks which were running 'stable' previously.

EDIT- Could check PSU, what you got?

This is why forums are full of people complaining and blaming others for their own faults.

There are a lot of people who think the same as this as they don't have the basic understanding of how components in a pc interact with each other.
 
I am on the 10.3's and have just played dirt2 for a couple of hours to see if this was a general thing and i havn't had a problem i have oc'd my gfx card to 900-1300 and cpu oc can be seen in sig so there is something relating to your system that is accounting for this. Driver cleaner programs are a big no no these days they seem to do more harm then good and both ati and nvidia have good uninstall programs that render driver cleaners pretty obselete.
 
no none what so ever

im thinking combo of nvidia drivers, driver sweeper and 10.3's all mixed up together and made a bsod

more than likely. As others have said the driver sweeper is a big no no now due to deleting regestry items which it shouldn't and causing the system to fall over. Add that with Nvidia and it's crash city.

hopefully it's all a ok from now on in.

when installing the official 10.3's next month just instal over the top. it's the safest way to go about updating the drivers for ATI
