Unstable Windows 7 RC?...

Hi All

I'm about to trawl through the posts and on the internet to look for a fix to my problem...

I've got a Windows 7 image built on my new PC, but have switched back to Vista64 for the time being as it seems when I play Prototype it get BSOD's...

Do you think this could be a problem with the driver for the graphics card? - XFX ATI Radeon HD4870x2... I don't think the drivers are compatible with W7 even though they work with Vista...

Possibly a driver issue, worth checking if there are known problems with W7. Overclocks?

Nope - No overclocks. I was OC'ing it to 3.6, but as it runs everything really well without an overclock I didn't see the point... The only thing I've changed in the BIOS is the XMP memory setting as it wasn't seeing my memory at 1600...

What info do have from the BSOD? What is the message you receive? Are any other games affected?

If you've fiddled with the memory could try memtest. Good call about the error code too, worth jotting it down next time you blue screen.

I'll reload the W7 image at the weekend and re-run Prototype and see what code it gives...

Might be an idea to dual boot. Might save you a lot of fiddling around.
