Radeon hd3650 to blame for BSODs/sketchy performance?

Just installed Radon HD 3650 - then did a clean install of windows 7 from XP. Unplugged all devices except logitech chordless keyboard/mouse (which windows recognizes as "usb-reciever").

After installing the OS, the system randomly restarted (no warnings, just an instant black screen, followed by reboot) 5, 10 sometimes 15 minutes after login. Since the issues appear Radeon related (I received a 4.7 for Gaming Graphics and a 4.8 for Graphics??), I turned off Aero, and have since had no restarts. But the performance still lags i think...

I do get a BSOD error message after crash and restart, but the one I just copied not notepad somehow dissappeared from desktop and now I'm not sure when it will crash next.

I have a feeling that there's a conflict with the integrated graphics - but Ive looked through the BIOS and can't figure out how to disable it =/

Anyways, hopefully the solution is right under my nose :)

Anyways, I finally was able to isolate the BSOD.

here it is. HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE :)

hope this helps! Do you need/want any more info about the setup??

ntkrnlpa.exe, Win32 error 0n2

Can't find anything to say exactly what is causing this.

Did you by any chance install CCCP? Uninstall it if so.

Also, make sure your LAN driver is most recent. And of course, video driver too.

Can't hurt to run from elevated command prompt:

sfc /scannow

if CCCP got installed, it's not showing up - I really think it's some sort of conflict with the integrated video - the new radeon hd3650 should be cooking up a storm in w7 right?

A 4.8 just doesn't make much sense. As for LAN & video drivers, what's the best/easiest way to make sure they're up-to-date other than going into the drivers panel and right-clicking for update??

I really think it's some sort of conflict with the integrated video

The bios should disable it when a PCI-E video card is detected, but not always. Have you checked in the bios to see if there is a setting to disable it manually?

Sounds about right for that card. That card is a low-end budget card, don't expect it to play much of any of the new games out at much more than a mix of low and medium (and more low than medium) settings.

if CCCP got installed, it's not showing up

The only way that should happen is if you unselected it while installed the catalyst Suite, or you just downloaded the standalone driver, or if you only installed whatever driver was offered through Windows Update.

Please don't ever do that for a driver for a major piece of hardware, always go to the manufacturer's website. For your ATI card go here,

Drivers & Tools | GAME.AMD.COM

and just select the one for your OS (which gets updated once a month). For the LAN driver go to either MSI or if they don't have it go to Via Arena (same for the rest of any VIA drivers the board needs).

Haha when I said CCCP I meant the codec pack. Remove that if it's installed. I didn't mean the Catalyst Control (Center CCC).
