Glitches are back...

[Robert]

Well after playing lots last night and having no problem, I go on to a server this morning and straight away the glitches are back. I really can't believe it, I'm so bloody annoyed right now. My rig is as follows;

X800XT@Stock 6.2 cats
3700 754@Stock
Asus K8VSE Deluxe
2gb geil
Audigy 2
XP Home
Service pack 2
All drivers up-to-date

It's seriously ******* me off right now. Fitting the fan was good idea as temps are a lot lower, but WHY do I still get this with newer drivers? It works fine with 5.9 cat's, but I want the latest ones for newer games.

Everything's stock and at a decent temp...should I really have to knock 10mhz off? I know it won't make a difference - but I've never had to do that before.

The thing is mate I don't have the problem when using older drivers?

 

[Robert]

It's over a year old .

 

[Robert]

The thing is I've re-installed countless times and tried a range of drivers from the 5.10 up.

Edit: What about new games? I'm gonna be screwed without the ability to update my drivers. Also - the problem didn't ALWAYS occur. I played fine for an hours the other night - next day BANG back again straight away.

 

[Robert]

Yes.

Surely it if was driver related it wouldn't be so random? As I've said I did a fresh install and even tried the 5.11 drivers (which used to work ok) and they still had the problem.

 

[Robert]

Did you try lowering clockspeeds?

Lower the GPU by 100Mhz and see if that helps improve things, try the same with memory if it doesn't.

It didn't. I tried it in another PC with Cat 5.13's on (that had an 8500 in it...) just plugged it in and after 5-10 minutes of BF2 it black screened and reset the PC.
