Hi,
My systems gone crazy, I really don't know what it is.
Ive reinstalled the Mobo drivers + GFX Drivers and no avail.
Ive seen this before on the forums but can't rember what happened. It's really weird and I can't remmember when it started.
Ive run registry checks and spyware scans aswell.

Does anyone have any info?

Thanks.

EDIT- It went down from about 6000 to 4000, just to show how much its gone down. :(
 
Hi,
I think its graphics card issues since my superpi time hasnt changed.
Ijust found the Omega Drivers and they say they have better drivers than stock.
Should I try these???

Click to expand...

If you were using stock drivers originally (at 6000marks) then i'd say the drivers aren't the issue.

Did you update any drivers recently before the issue began??

I can remember you said you overclocked your card? but you also said it crashes aswell? Maybe you've damaged the card
 
I doubt I damaged it, never had any artifacts.
Also, ever since I changed the grease its been running good, before that it crashed and I lost the 3dMarks.
Ill try reinstalling the chipset drivers.

My friend at uni had a similar problem to this a few months ago. Took me a fair while to work out what it was. It may not be the case with yours but he had some sort of Spyware/Worm program that had installed itself. However programs such as adaware would not detect it and i only found it by going through all his running processes in the task manager and by checking his startup programs list in msconfig.

Is worth a look you may find something thats not supposed to be there!!
 
do AMD chips ahve any kind of throttling ?
my CPU done it once and it drove me nuts... 40 odd posts later and thats what it was.
re-seated the water block and it was right as rain
 
Thanks a lot for your help.
I cheacked the processes and nothing wrong there.
I installed loads of drivers and I think it was the GC drivers.
I installed the omega drivers and its all good :D
Just ran 3dMark 05 and got 5914 3DMarks
Which is good.

Thanks again

Theyre interface is quite good. Wouldn't count on a performance increase but all the crap is gone.
:p
