Trying to Solve problem

zerkulo · 16 Feb 2010

I had a similar problem with my new build. I have an i5-750 with an HD 5058.

After a fresh instaill of W7 x64 I installed Fire Fox then AVG then Zone Alarm. Then I started chain crashing with the grey/green verticle lines, similar to a lot of people with 5850's.

As soon as I uninstalled Zone Alarm my system became stable again and I haven't crashed since. So I would say it is a conflict with other software/drivers you have installed.

I'd suggest a fresh install and testing your system for stability after each progam is installed. Hopefully! then it will be as simple for you to fix as it was for me.

i did mem test and it went horrible. i tested each stick individually at 9-9-9-20 at 1.7 v and went perfect for 3 of them 3 passes per. and 1 stick had a couple errors. dropped down to 3 sticks and it is more stable. i played bioshock for 1 hour before any problems. oc'd proccesor at 3.8 ghz. Wonder if i need different ram. Going to run memtest overnight on the 6 sticks. see how many errors i get then. only did one successful pass last time. I am using ocz3g1333LV4GK

RMA the RAM. If you can't pass memtest at stock settings, the RAM is bad. Keep the good kit, return the bad one.

Ok so i ran memtest last night for 9 hours with no errors. I guess one of the sticks was bad. But i am now running 6 gigs of the ocz3g1333l4gk at 1600 with 1.7v with 9-9-9-20 and 2t. No problems with 9 hours of memtest. The new power supply will be in today. But i do not see a need to put it in yet if the only problem i am having left is the stupid " ati driver has crashed and recovered error". That is annoying. i never oc'd my rig before because it was not stable enough for me to feel comfortable. Now that i have eliminated that error, i have my x4 965 running at 4.0 Ghz. idle at 27 degress and full load of 46 degrees. I have my hd 5850 clock at 850/1200 (orginally 750/1125) idle at 32 and full load of 50-60.Wondering if i should keep or return the power supply. i know the one i have is not the best but it is currently doing it job. The display driver error is so frustrating, i might check audio devices, that might be causing it to clash.
Because i can run furmark stability test with gpu at 100% at 57 degrees for 4 hours no display driver problems.

Hi, what monitor have you got, it is not mentioned in your specs?

Hi, this is just a simple way to see what is on your machine.At the Start Orb / Search, type into the box, SYS, click on the System Information at the top of the search Menu,

This will open up a page with some information on it. Take a picture of the page using the Snipping tool and post it up here.
I would just like to have a look at it,
Thanks.
