Paddington Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I cant run cmbb or ak anymore. My radeon card crashes... The program "Vpu Recovery" says that the contact with the card is lost and I should restart my computer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schrullenhaft Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 What changed between the time you could run CM and now ? Is this a videocard upgrade to your Radeon 9800XT or whatever ? How many watts does your power supply have and is it a brand name ? It's possible that once the videocard goes into a 3D game the electrical current draw is too high for the power supply to provide. However I'd assume that other things would happen (lockup or blue screen error) rather than just ATI's VPU feature kicking in. I'd also suggest lowering your overclock on your videocard if your doing that. 3D is one of those areas that can push a videocard into failure if it is overclocked too high (whereas it may function fairly well in 2D). What exactly did you do to your videocard to make it a 9800XT from a 9800Pro, flash the BIOS or something ? If you're using the 4.5 Catalysts, you may want to uninstall them and install the 4.4's. I haven't tested either to see if there are problems, but it is one step you can take. Regarding your other posting, the Rage3D Tweaker v. 3.9 should support your Radeon (it even supports the X800) according to the website. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddington Posted June 4, 2004 Author Share Posted June 4, 2004 I got the tweaker to run now... I`m playing il2 forgotten battles without problems, and that 3d engine is propably more "requiring". I`ll do some tests... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddington Posted June 5, 2004 Author Share Posted June 5, 2004 Running at normal clocks now, and the card is a pro again. Still the same problem. I played a sp game without problems but online I get to max 1 turn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 An 'sp game', is that a single player game ? If that's the case then the only time you have a problem is when you're playing either a PBEM or TCP/IP game ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hpt. Lisse Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 Wierd. But try going into either game and delete the "prefs" folder, then re-launch the game. Just for laughs, try a different resolution than you currently use and see if it works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco QNS Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Can´t say it will help you, but there are new Catalyst 4.7 in the ATI webpage http://www2.ati.com/drivers/Catalyst_47_release_notes.html NOT THAT I HAVE USED THEM! Nor endorse them in any way, if it works, I´m not in the mood of trying to fix anything. Just discover it when Messenger doesn´t worked and freezed my computer. My alternative fix: unloading Messenger. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
