What brand and model is the power supply?

 

[buddabrot3301]

It is from BeQuiet
BQT E6-650W

i would say a PSU with 32A or greater on a single rail, or two 24A rails.

Thats a fairly rough estimate, a quality PSU matters as much as the amperage - cheap brands lie and overstate what their PSU's are capable of.

18 amps per rail is plenty. That's 216w per connector, and each PCIe cable should be on it's own rail, and Be Quiet is a reputable psu maker, so I see no reason for it to be the psu, unless 650W jsut isn't enough. But it should be.

Is anything overclocked?

i managed to overload a 4x18A PSU with two 4870's.

Nvidia state that card uses ~300W of power, and we dont know how well its distributed across his rails.

What psu?

OCZ gameX 700W

didnt do it in normal use, but sometimes it would crash (mostly on hotter days). Furmark was instant death for the system however - immediate shutdowns (which is why i went the corsair i have now)

Highlighted the issue.

Nothing is OverLocked
I started 3D Mark Vantage and made a GPU Test with Performance...
Result: 16693 Points for GPU
CPU anything with 30000
Thats Ok for the System BUT i have buggs with 26 FPS
It's called in german "MicroRuckler" Google Translate calls it "micro stuttering"
This happens realy often on Dual GPU cards and i think i contact the IT shop
I have 15 Months "garantie" and should get a new GPU...

In crysis i got only 20-25 FPS i dont know why...

Did you try a different driver? Perhaps the newest driver has some bugs.

 

[buddabrot3301]

i've got
196.21 WHQL
and i had the freezes with all drivers i installed

Made this time FULL vantage test: 19310 points...
GPU: 16668
CPU: 36824

No need to "manage" anything. If there comes a time a program needs that memory, Win 7 will quit using it, and let the program take it.

And any updates?

Thanks

And what updates?

 

[buddabrot3301]

Only guys with WIN 7 have this Problem?

 

[goldmull]

i tried installing an older graphics driver version. it's the one i bought the card with. so far it has run stable, but i noticed the performance is very poor.

so it seems that the driver somehow caused a problem along with the game.
nevertheless, i'd like to have a driver installed which gives me a better performance as well as not causing the freeze.

any ideas?

Edit: I just experienced a crash from which I thought it would be the usual freeze but then, VPU Recover displayed a message resulting in a game a crash. that's an improvement somehow, since I at least don't have to reset. I'll test further to see if the problem will occur more often.

Edit2: got it again

Edit3: and again. ok, the problem is still persistent, but at least, the graphics driver seems to be able to intervene, so i don't have to restart my pc everytime it crashes. still, i don't know what's the fuckin' problem -.-

 

[buddabrot3301]

to the onboardcard story..
i offed it in bios menu
same like ever...
i have only 20 fps in crysis
20-25 in bf bc2
i think my gpu is broken
or my cpu
or what could be damaged too?

 

[RoutedScripter]

I have a new soundcard now , the Xonar D1 , and well, it did okay in XP , drivers , cool everything , but now my Xp is something clogged well , it's weird , sound doesn't work , it laggs and .. well my XP install is well , weird , so I didn't tried there , but in WIN7 , it seems all ok with the sound , i'll see how the games do , later.

 

[Hupie]

Well i changed my asus 450 watt with an Enermax 625 watt but it didnt help . Game still froze in win xp after about 20 mins.

 

[Hupie]

Hmm i must say, in win7 i havent had any system crashes/freezes so far. I only had one game crash. So i do think its a software problem in my case.

thanks for keeping us updated.

Your old OS was... ? (OS, 32/64 bit, and what service pack?) and you're running 7 x86 or x64?

 

[Hupie]

Old OS is Win XP SP3 32 bit, new OS is Win 7 64 bit. Maybe i could try and reinstall XP and see if it helps but i dont have the time and will to do a fresh install right now.

no no, thats fine.

My one question would be if you get the same issue in win 7 32 bit, since you dont in x64 (thus determining if its xp->7 that solved it, or 32 bit to 64 bit that solved it)

 

[Hupie]

Yeah thats a good question. It could also be that my XP install is a bit broken (altho apart from COD my system runs fine in xp). But for now, ill do my work in XP and play COD in win 7. If i get the time, ill see if i can answer your question by installing win 7 32 bit or reinstall win xp.

 

[buddabrot3301]

Damn it doesnt work with a new soundcard...
i think my gpu is broken

 

[Takuma]

First of all, Gz on your new soundcard Ruski!
Also please try not to go off topic here, I really appreciate all the help from all of you and am really happy with this thread, but I also think we might have sorted a couple of things if each and every one stated the exact issue they are having (assuming its the same ) along with their tries.
To sum some things up I think most of people (like me and ruski) having the same exact problem with the freeze and the looping sounds --exactly as shown in youtube-- are having on board sound Realtek along with a an ATI 4800 series (probably 4870 like in my case).

Again, am having the exact same problem with only MW2 , all other games are working perfectly. Never OCed anything and increasing the Fan speed to 100% just gave me a couple of more minutes to play but didnt solve the problem. Also playing it in safe mode aswell didnt solve it so am gonna stick with Ruski and remove any doubts concerning the GPU. and am gonna stick with the sound card..

Ruski am waiting for your reply whether your new sound card solved this issue concerning MW2. If not then am gonna put GPU back on the list and go buy a goddamn super cooler. IF yes the it IS the Realtek shitty thingy not compatible with MW

Please note that i had this issue more frequently on multiplayer as I beat the game without having this problem except only a couple of times (SP i mean).
Running with OS Windows 7 64. Gigabyte EP45 onboard Realtek, ATI HD4870.
Cheers all and keep up the good work.

After weeks of playing i havent had a single freeze in Win 7 64bit (in contrast to win xp 32 bit). Its really weird that you do have freezes in win 7 64bit. Maybe try win xp 32 bit?
