Ive had no BSOD crashes just freezing using webcam and freezing with the lines I was saying on startup. The Furmark scans didnt show anything up (not sure on actual results as cant see the in safe mode) but it passed the tests, max temp was 52c. Ill try and boot up normally. Im off out to dog training in 5 so if i dont get back ill be back tomorrow, thanks for your help in this annoying problem.
Thanks for the info.
Ok. as a test please disable your GPU, then boot into normal mode.
To disable GPU navigate to:
Start>Computer>system properties>device manager
Locate>Display Adapters and expand
Select your Graphics card
Right click and "disable" and it will ask you to confirm and reboot the system.
Observe the reboot for any of the isses you mentioned (lines etc) and use your computer as normal
with the exception of Games/ graphic related programs.
I will look back through your old dumps to see if i can dig up anything else in the meantime.
Post back your observations,
Cheers
Dave
Hi there, well disabled the GPU and it boots up normally, no problems at all. Windows asks for a driver for the card on boot up so its detecting it.
Hi,
Roll back your Ati driver to the previous version in normal mode.
Then re-enable the GPU and reboot.
If you cant roll back with GPU disabled try enabling then roll back the driver.
Does it now boot into windows ok? Any lines etc / BSOD's?
Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave,
I rolled back and enabled the card again, im now on version 8*****. The system took 2 attempts to boot but no lines or BSOD. I must say having the GPU disabled my boot up was seconds. Ill run this during today as im off and we can see what happens. Do you think its my card? Its odd to say it works superb during games its just booting up.
Hi,
I wouldnt like to say for certain if its your card at fault or not at this point
what I will say is that it is related to your Graphics card, the fact you have no
issues when disabled supports this:
Ok now you may be able to run Furmark in normal mode, this will determine
if the card is indeed at fault?

Post back the results.

which test should i run, burn in, benchmark? theres 5 to choose
Hi Dave,
How long does the test take? is it ongoing? I have ran the test for 1hr 10 mins with no problems. The temp levelled out at 82c with no artifacts.
Hi,
Normally you would see artifacts within 10-20 mins-ish.
Did you set the settings on the main page to:
Burn-in
Xtreme burn-in
Post FX
and "log GPU Temps"
as the tutorial recommended?
If not re-run with new settings and post back.
Run for about 20 mins and watch the temps also.
cheers
Dave
