HD 3650 AGPX8 is crashing..

hello all...

The problem started yestarday, i played MW2, and at the middle of the game, the screen was freezed out, but i could hear sound and i could go to System manager to exit the game..

Now the problem is even worse.. i tried to Plug out the card from the mother board and than plug it in again, and Windows doesnt even start's. [It reaches to the:" Please wait..." and than the Top Screen is wenting black, and Restarting itself.]

I tried to start windows without Auto-restarting mode, and the PC shutted down itself, and than Turn itself on.

Also tried to erase the driver's from Programm files [ATI folder] and it didnt work. tried also to start windows at low res mode 640x400 and the problem still exist.

Also, i hearded a weird noise when i plugged the PSU cable.. something like "Tshhh" for a second..

Im talking with you with Safe-Mode..

So please from you, Help me! :)

You have 2 problems - your original problem, and now the new problem caused by your attempts to fix the first problem. You need to solve the second problem first.

See if this helps:
First go to "Remove Programs" (Start > Control Panel > Programs > Remove a Program) and uninstall any ATI graphics programs. This may be complicated because you deleted the folder, but try anyway.

Then, open the Device Manager (Start > Control Panel > Hardware & Sound > Devices & Printers > Device Manager) the see if you have a Graphics Adapter listed. Click on the arrow to expand the selection, Right click on the adapter listed and select "Uninstall", then reboot the computer.

If we can get this second problem sorted then we can work on the first problem, which is most likely a driver issue.

Some "Rules":

Never remove or replace hardware from your computer without uninstalling it first from the Device Manager.

Never delete program or driver folders without first uninstalling the program from Windows "Remove Program" utility or the Application's uninstaller shortcut in the program folder.

Never remove hardware from the motherboard without shutting down the computer and unplugging the power supply.

Welcome to Seven Forums try following this guide for installing AGP drivers it might help. Fabe Install AGP Drivers for HD 3850, 3650, 2400 PRO

I already installed properly the drivers..

But im afraid that the first problem still exist.. i did a little test and, after the screen is freezing, i quited to Desktop and than back to game, than i saw: "Error: Server disconnected" but im not sure its Internet problem, because i didnt had any Lags in game [50ms ping], and it runned fine. [It's COD6:MW2 multiplayer, so its not Decaited server]

i have 10.3 Driver installed.

hope for help

^How to zip it.. and where i can find it?

I still have the problem.. looks likes in some resolutions the game doesnt freeze [Like 1200x800, 640x480, low res]

higher than that the game is freezing after something like 10 minutes. [the game is MW2 multiplayer]

im still hearing sound's when im goin to System manager, and when im goin back to the game, its Disconnecting from the server, on and on.

please help
