first time for everything haha!

hmm not looking good. installing few games to try but its crashed twice now (bsod) when Ive been watching a video in media player.

did a clean install, latest drivers etc. hope its not knackered :(
 
Can anyone help us out

card is a Powercolour 1900xtx

installed 6.3 cat drivers
latest nforce off the nvidia site
6.09 razer copperhead drivers
and the latest audigy 2 zs ones.

windows is fully updated, just got some games on.

it crashes whenever i try to do anything, only game it ran was tiger woods, played 2 holes and it seemed fine.

all my hardware is the same other than the card (used to have 800xt) and it was rock solid, nothing overclocked or anything, never crashed before.

ive done a clean install of windows too.

gutted :(
 
I got it from ocuk when they had the offers on, hence the nice one on price :)

Ive got a Thermaltake PurePower 680W psu. Side of the case is already off, never have it on.

Its crashed when ive played two wmp vids, when ive tried to load Far Cry and also when I tried to play FEAR.

Seems perfectly fine when using windows.

The only time its actually bluescreened I only caught glimpse of the error but think it was an IRQ not equal. It just froze with far cry and rebooted with no BSOD with FEAR.
 
didnt install the nv firewall or the other thing it asks, also didnt install the nvidia sw ide drivers as read they gave loads of grief. (didnt have them installed on previous installs either with no probs)

edit: ill take off the audigy drivers altogether, see if that does anything

edit 2 :):

If it helps, Full spec is:

A64 3500
Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe
2gig Ballistix pc4000 (not died yet...)
2x74gb Raptors in RAID0 and a couple IDE drives
Audigy 2 ZS
TT 680w psu
Powercolour 1900xtx

uninstalled the audigy, took out the actual soundcard and played the new crysis vid (which caused it to crash twice last time) and got the following BSOD

page_fault_in_nonpaged_area
 
I can uninstall the mouse drivers? mouse was working before I installed them.

One thing actually, I wasnt on the newest ATI drivers before I upgraded. Anyone know of any problems with the 6.3s?

Is there any settings in the CCC that could cause problems?

Appreciate all the help by the way, thanks :)
 
ive got the latest firmware on the mouse (6.17)

just tried another vid and got the following BSOD

A process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or been terminated
 
quite wierd this. did a race in need for speed most wanted and it didnt crash. just set the game up, did one race and was ok. also did two holes in tiger woods 2006, didnt crash and then quit.

anything else, including anything in media player crashes the pc :confused:
 
yeh im going to do that when i go to bed just in case.

one strange thing...

the games that havent crashed are set to 1600x1200, the ones that have crashed where all set to 1920x1200. bizarre.

what volt settings should i have in the bios, everything is pretty much stock at the moment.
 
how long does it usually take ocuk to respond to webnotes, never had a prob with their stuff before so first time ive used it. thought id see what their opinion on it was
 
gutted :(

uninstalled the cat 6.3 drivers, did driver cleaner and then put the ones on that come on the cd.

then in the cat control centre it crashed when i clicked the 3d tab. where it shows the moving car. in other words when some graphics where moving onscreen.

got an irq not equal BSOD
