pics broke

Adeel_ssj4 · Oct 31, 2008

Fixed it, sorry about that

Fastmix · Oct 31, 2008

Try updating your drivers or changing resolution.

AphexDreamer · Oct 31, 2008

Well I'm running Dual Screens as well and I have no problems from it. Your problem lies else where.

No i meant i fixed the screenshot, and to the poster above i changed resolutions to the lowest possible and to medium (1280x1024) which also didn't fix it, im going to try a driver install/reinstall now see if it helps ><

Gfx card overheating ?

newconroer · Oct 31, 2008

I second it being a driver related issue.

Though, do you have your GPU overclocked at all?

At idle its 42C by thats with an aftermarket cooler because the stock couldn't cut it ><

No its not overclocked, and i've updated to the latest one via the site and still it persists ><

EDIT

AphexDreamer are you using the latest drivers from ATI to?

kenkickr · Oct 31, 2008

I don't think this would cause your issue but I know on the back of the box it states the card must be OpenGL3.0 compatible. To me it looks like a major driver issue or a overheating issue.

Adeel_ssj4 · Oct 31, 2008

If its a driver issue then erm >< ATI users what drivers are you using? And ATI CP reads between 40-50 ><

Cybrnook2002 · Oct 31, 2008

Drivers man, almost %100. Im using the latest off the ATI site. Trying opening CCC and setting all to default and see if the game fires up then. IF so, turn all your custom settings back one by one until you find the bugger.

THAT FIXED IT :love:

could you upload each tabs screenshot and so i know what settings i should have :3 thanks!

Adeel_ssj4 · Oct 31, 2008

Ah on second thought it didn't fix it, went past the EA screen fine and then just carried on to kill itself =(

Cybrnook2002 · Oct 31, 2008

Download the latest drivers, then try again. Make sure you directX and all is up to date as well.

Kusimeka · Nov 1, 2008

Get the latest drivers for everything aswell, i think theres even a program which can search everything on your computer and find the latest drivers for you.

Ooh sorry my bad.

The ram on the cards not overheating is it ?. Maybe check for dust build up and check all the ram chips on how hot there getting.

Try cooling topside of the card too.

Adeel_ssj4 · Nov 1, 2008

Ok i've fixed the graphical issue, a reinstall of all drivers completely hard wiped from the computer fixed it but also setting it at default to

However a new problem has arised, choppy sound >< any ideas?

kenkickr · Nov 1, 2008

What sound card are you using?

Adeel_ssj4 · Nov 1, 2008

Its a stock sound card:
Creative SB Live! Value sound card

kenkickr · Nov 1, 2008

What do you mean by stock? It came with your system? If it's one of those Dell Live cards..good luck!! J/K What driver are you using(date of driver)?

kenkickr · Nov 1, 2008

Here is a driver page I found for the card and I see it has met "End of Life". http://support.creative.com/Product... Value&subCatName=Live!&CatName=Sound+Blaster

I would have to say it sounds like your sound issue is due to the same reason you had problems with your graphics card, the drivers. Before continuing make sure you have the original driver install package for this card cause the Patch will not work unless the original driver can be found. Being a Creative audio card I would go and download Driver Sweeper, http://downloads.guru3d.com/downloadget.php?id=1655&file=4&evp=c14f9f3787877eef9ef4b235b9146e96, and install it. Once you have it installed uninstall your Creative drivers and reboot into safe mode(press F8 for boot options during system bootup). Once your in Safe Mode open up Driver Sweeper, check Creative, Analyze system, and clean what it finds. Reboot back into Normal mode and install drivers.

Supposedly this is the original driver package, http://www.fileshack.com/file.x/545/Sound+Blaster+Live!+Driver+Pack+Full+Package+-+XP/2000.

My drivers are up to date since i wiped the computer about 2 months back and those drivers are a few years old

And no its not a dell, i'd never buy a dell :3 DYI ftw
