PC Freezing/ Driver error
I have been recieving the ATI display driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered error.
Took the PC into the guys I bought it from and they recommended a format, formatted a partition on my pc with a fresh install of windows 7, installed latest catalyst drivers but no dice, ramped my fan speed up to 100% to troubleshoot and it definitely helped, stopped getting the error but pc starts seriously lagging after a while (playing spore & Black and White 2) playability also increases if I down the res from 1920 x 1080. This seems to indicate overheating n my opinion but I haven't seen the card go above 57 degrees.My chassis has no fans but with everything at stock should it overheat :/ especially on old games.
Been browsing forums for ages and seen everything from people blaming windows updates to ram issues.
I have run Prime95 and Furmark all came out fine, no glitches. Max temp on Furmark was 84 degrees.
Any ideas?
