Games crashing

[wilfy27]

i bought an ati radeon x800gto an decided to buy a couple of games as ye do, but hitman blood money just resets the comp all the time an m.o.h pacific assault either crashes or resets the comp . gutted any ideas folks

What drivers are you using? have you updated the games?

 

[Psycho Sonny]

check the temperatures and is it overclocked at all

 

[Psycho Sonny]

on a seperate note is your cpu overclocked and check the cpu's temps

 

[wilfy27]

temperature is fine its not overclocked and i'm using the drivers that came with the card

 

[Psycho Sonny]

is it agp or pcie? depending on which you may have to go through the bios settings and check that they are all set correctly

 

[wilfy27]

its agp

Could be a problem, i remember the drives that came with my x800 were something like 5.1s

Go to www.ati.com and download the latest XP 6.4 drivers.

Uninstall the old ones through control pannel, restart, install the new ones and restart again.

Might work

it says the 6.4 is meatnt for 2 x TUL Radeon® X1600 PRO 256MB Crossfire cards tho , would it matter

Nope wouldnt matter at all, as long as your downloading the Radeon Catalyst 6.4 drivers, then they will work

edit: Or are the 6.5's the latest drivers? Cant remember

 

[benjo]

Yeh get the 6.5's from ati.com

not sure if this link will work

i'll give it a go and get back to ye ..cheers

 

[wilfy27]

nah nothing works think i'll have to send the graphics card back to overclockers

What card did you have in there before, did you fully remove the drivers by using safemode, driver cleaner etc... before installing the new card/drivers.

Have you got the power connected to the card also.

 

[Peace]

may not be the card, list your other specs.

does the card work fine with any other games?

MOH pacific assault & Hitman blood money are power hungry games.....

 

[wilfy27]

yeah it has a separate power supply all plugged in properly i removed all drivers on my other card safely . It even crashes on hitman 2 but silent hunter 3 works fine my last card was a 9600 radeon pro 128mb
