OldUnreal (Engine)

hi

Sometimes it randomly freezes and the mouse can't be moved, then the screen turns to black for a sec and gets back to normal giving the following error:
Display driver AMD driver stopped responding and has recovered

I've really searched everywhere on the internet and googled alot but I can't find a solution that works for me.

my pc:http://speccy.piriform.com/results/poZA ... Yt23JtH0Ip

ps my english is not so good

I've seen such an errors before. It usually is caused by some hardware failure. The driver sets the card back to some to prevent it from being damaged. Maybe a to weak powersupply, maybe some thermal issue and it gets to warm.
Other possible causes and/or solutions:

No matter, hw failure or not, buying Nvidia videocard will help you.

That is an incredibly biased statement. In my experience, if you buy quality parts of whichever brand it works. This guy has an AMD 5550.. one that isn't even listed on AMD's website. Besides, the problem could be chipset drivers that give memory corruption into those other ones. I've bought shit video cards for cheap that were.. surprise.. shit of AMD and nvidia.

My girlfriends laptop was nearly constantly BSODing after reinstalling windows, and debugging of the .dmp files left by windows pointed out her NICs crashing. I updated those drivers. It still BSODed. I then updated chipset drivers and it hasn't crashed since.


So..

Update all your drivers {including INF ones, that's important}

yo dudes

it works again after downloading drivers and lowering my ati overdrive

thanks everybody

it is not listed on amd because its a xfx card: see here;::http://xfxforce.com/en-us/products/Grap ... /5550.aspx

dont realy know why its xfx

Hey sweet! Glad it worked.

I hoped you wouldn't get another one of my x1650 pro AGP nightmares where it seems the card is inherently unstable all by itself.

That is an incredibly biased statement. In my experience

Nothing other is expected from nvidia fan

yeah, Unreal was always very bitchy about overclocking

its a common problem with ati cards, reason: the power state when it goes idle.

it turns the memory clock/ core clock and the voltage of the card so low that as soon as you launch a game again. (well it doesnt happen every time) the card gets a little shock and pops out for a second. (this isnt good for the card either, i killed my old hd5770 this way)

what you want to do is make a new ati profile in your catalyst control center and then edit the idle stats.

like this:
Wantcoreclock1: 157 (this is idle)
wantcoreclock1: 600 (this way its 600 on idle, you will chrash way less.)

same counts for memory clock, and the voltage, you will want to keep voltage the same on load and change the idle voltage to load voltage. that way you always got the same V through your card.

edit: you have to change the profile manualy. its located in here: C:\Users\*username*\AppData\Local\ATI\ACE\Profiles

mine currently: OC_mode.xlm (overclocked mode)

Hi

i got this error is this my videocard?

no, this is actually a sound related crash, triggered by a bug which is fixed for 227i.
Would be interesting however if you have a reproducible method for this one, to check it against the fix too

They might still be on 227g, could be playing on a 225f jcoopz server.
