AMD "Never Settle" 12.11 Driver - benchmarks

That doesn't sound promising mate.

Maybe one of the cards has gone? Could you try swapping them over?

You do have two cards don't you or did i just make that up?

Just the one card.

Swapped over to DVI and it now get past the splash screen into a sea of BSOD's

Codes 0FC and 07E, its also spouting something about HDAudioBUS.sys...

Edit: little googling shows it could be a harsh Trojan
 
Its already running bud :)

Thankfully one of the few things safe mode will actually let you run. I've never understood why some installer packages refuse to work in safe mode, surely the whole point of safe mode is to find a problem and remove it.

+1, its just plain silly...

Anyway, good luck :)
 
If it doesn't work it can go to hell until next weekend when I rebuild into another board and re-install windows :D
 
I can't its my life :(:p

Now reading it could be directly linked to audio, so once malwarebytes is done (provided it doesn't find anything) I'll try remove audio drivers, though I have a hunch it may be linked to the audio drivers that come packaged with AMD cards.

I hope its not my motherboard thats shot, was planning to put it up for sale next weekend.
 
Haha god knows what it is, nothing found, get into safe mode fine but normally now getting 1e bsod fml.

1E tells me its either CPU, MB or Memory, CPU is now at stock, same thing, so next I guess I have to rule in/out the memory. Its just strange that uninstalling an AMD driver has prompted all this.

My thoughts are with you my brother. Everyone knows the pain someone goes through when one part in your pc decides to stick two fingers up to everything else.

Process of elimination is the only way.

Time for memtest. :)

Try booting with just 1 stick of RAM and then load optimised defaults (:()
 
Lets hope I figure this one out a little quicker then the last time when I had a duff CPU that took me 2 weeks to figure out :o

I'm just letting some more scans go through and then run memtest before I start removing things. Won't be impressed if it is the memory, its only about 2 months old if that.

Edit: now saying something in event manager about 'applecharger' being related to the 1E BSOD, strange, I have NEVER used an apple device OR program on this machine...

I think you should hope its the memory and not something more valuable. :)
 
Tbh, as long as its not the CPU or GPU I'm not THAT bothered, Motherboard is EOL and would probably get me a healthy refund, the memory I paid £100 for (its now £60) so I'd put it towards another kit.

I have near enough a whole X79 system sat spare for rebuilding, the only thing I don't have spare is CPU and Memory :o
 
Isn't BSOD 1E the one you come across when an overclock fails due to not enough VCORE or VTT voltage? I swear that's what i used to get, 1 something or rather.

If so, b0rked CPU?
 
From what I understand its to do with power states in general, that could mean CPU/MEM/Motherboard, it works fine at stock in safe mode, just BSOD's as soon as I boot normally.

Event viewer is pointing to some apple related junk thats on my system so next thing to do is remove that.

Edit: 2 Threats found with ESET scanner, thats malwarebytes in the dog house.

Edit 2: Threats removed, applecharger.sys removed now getting e1c62x64.sys 1E BSOD, time for mem test *sigh*

Edit 3: The more I search into it, quite a few are have the exact same issue, instant BSOD as soon as the desktop tries to load with 12.11 or remnants of 12.11 on the system, solution is seemingly to replace some files with those from 12.8.

Fixed it, if anyone else has the issue even with the driver removed you need to manually remove the following file(s) from C:\Windows\System32\Drivers

atikmpag.sys
atikmdag.sys
 
I don't have a clue what the sys files do, but some 7970m owners were having the same problem and found removing those files to cure it.

removed them, installed beta4, everything (for now) is back to normal.

Edit: had the window open all day, just noticed my card is idling at around 14c :p

I'm going to be a git (is that counted as a swear word here?) and say its all beta 3's fault. There ive said it.
