hi all, got a problem with games locking up, cod4 mainly, i have 2 x 3870,s in crossfire and am using vista32, get a little message at bottom of screen after cod4 locks up, saying display driver stopped working, any ideas what this is or anybody has had same problem....btw im using 8.3 and it has also happened using 8.2......is it a vista problem do you think

The first impression I got is you are overclocking too much. I got the same problem with my single 3870 when I turned it to 830/2400MHz. And I'm on XP.
Any more details?

no my cards are not overclocked at the moment, only my cpu is overclocked, CoH also crashes too, i have tried re-installing 8.3 but same

i have fraps installed but dont think it is running as it is not on my taskbar

 

[pwillat]

are you having the problem now, since deleting fraps and was it the same problem, some peeps are saying disable powerplay helps but dont know how to do that tbh

 

[pwillat]

yeah you are probably right about the powerplay, it seems as though this problem is very common and is yet to be resolved, check out this thread http://www.driverheaven.net/vista-r...ver-atikmdag-stopped-responding-error-35.html

hi again, has anybody else got this problem or have managed to find a solution

hi m8, i managed to fix the problem to a certain extent, i have stuck with 8.3 driver and also the hotfix for 8.3 and ever since then i havent had one single driver stopped responding message....hope this helps ya
