MSI-Afterburner PC freezes

christoph_789 · Jun 10, 2014

Hello
Since some days my PC freezes nearly every time I start the MSI-Afterburner. I never had this problems before. I uninstalled the Afterburner and installed it again but that didn't help. It's the version 3.01
Anyone else have the same problem and maybe know how to solve it?

have you tried uninstal the vga driver then reinstall it then after burner
or trying different driver

Or an older version of MSI AB?

currently I'm using the 14.6 driver
thanks for the tip, I'll try if it works with 14.4

I tried it with 3.00 also, but the same problem appeared

Yes, what driver version are you on.

...Which leads to another question. Do you need to disable overclocking in CCC for MSI Afterburner to work?

So I uninstalled Catalyst driver 14.6 and Afterbruner, installed 14.4 and then Afterburner again and now everything works fine

thanks for your fast help, I didn't thought that the driver could be the problem
