Hes changed two things, OS and card, so I picked card. He also hasnt given any other info, so I made it short as well. When the OP wants help, he will get it

ill give you $20 for the possesed evil pc

You seem to have a lot of "fluff" that could be causing a driver conflict. I'd suggest (as others have said) a clean install with minimum hardware. Then run ram, 3DMark, etc. tests. Issues like these are usually software.

Guys I am just ranting, and I apologize, The CPU is approx 2/mo old, the o/s was installed the same day, previuos to this 3870x2 card I had (2) Sapphire x1950pros installed running crossfire for about 5 months, then I bought (2) Sapphire 3870 512mb cards, installed them about 3-3 1/2 weeks ago thats when the sh*t hit the fan, the cards would run great alone but crossfire sucked... so I RMA'ed the cards and got this (1) Sapphire 3870x2 card oer the advice of ATI support.
I was still having issues do I re-installed the o/s last night, installed all windows updates, m/b drivers, ati card drivers games and patches... thats it, in the past week and 1/2 I have posted on forums, spoke with ATI, MSI, emailed Sapphire 9since they dont have a phone # (WOW!).
the Bios is the latest ver 1.8 flashed last November. This just makes no freeking sense! I am not a very patient person but I have done my best to learn and fix this garbage.

Honestly Id like to see this thru, HELP!

the 780g boards [micro atx] are the only one's so far to exibit this problem.
the board he has was meant as an enthusiast's board, not a budget htpc or office box.

I'll bid $25 for the evil possessed PC.
This would be a great project for my studies of the supernatural.

ok, here is what I heard/ was told, the other night while playing COD4, I typed a message and asked if anyone had a 3870x2, two playes responded yes, then I asked If they were experienxing any issues with freezing during gameplay, they both said yes and they also said ATI is hoping to address this issue with the new drivers, Sapphire tech support kind of sucks they dont even have a phone number in the USA, they only respond via email,
in short I have spent a fair ammount of money and time to have a pretty decent pc, actually we all have, and if the above is correct about the drivers these tools at ATI should work these issues out b4 they out 400.00 cards on the market for us to troubleshoot and go thru all this dramma.
tonight I am going to run memtest 86 and see how that pans out... any other tests I can run here?

if you are refereing to my pc, it freezes up during gameplay. but everthing else is just fine.

funny! make youe peace w/ god first, plus having a priest nearby would help as well.

gawd dont use MSI's drivers, look for them direct eg Intel chipset drivers from Intels website etc

if you read our posts we advised to REMOVE your creative card too as it can cause all sorts of headaches

windows updates dont effect stability so wouldnt bother for a test run

did you test with ATitool and Orthos for a couple of hours? Memtest is useless 99% of the time when it comes to stability etc - i can overclock memory and have it pass on memtest where as windows will not so much as even boot correctly.

real sure I was using xp64 bit drivers from MSI, I will talk w/ MSI today, never use to have this problem, I will take out the xfi card tho, actually after the os in reinstalled I think I will stay away from the pc for a day or 2. I am really getting to the point of beating it with a hammer. this crap never happened when I had the 2 x1950pros running crossfire.

I'll give 20.01 for the evil PC. Maybe put a bunch of religious stuff around the PC and hopeful this evil wont affect your new PC. I hope I'm not affected now posting to this evil
Take the PC to the church and have an exorcism done

does Orthos run on xp 64?

Download, Install, Select Scan for Artifacts and let it run for a few hours

Orthos - Runs on 32 and 64 bit fine, and same deal, downlaod and extract, press start and let run for a few hours

All new systems and components need to be hammered and tested properly, run in to make sure there ok - has everyone forgotten this golden rule?

LOL you need an anti-evil, and no im not talking about Norton! Thats more like DR Evil.

Sneak up on your pc when its sleeping and box it up and post it to somewhere far away!!!!!!

Oh 1 more. running factory oc'ed GPU clock at 825mhz memory clock at 901 mhz, thought youd wanna know.

well do as they asked and unplug one of the hdd's - see wether it still boots and go from there, if need be install windows fresh etc

lol what in the hell is a tshit? is it legal to sell tshits in the US? Man, you really can get anything from the Internet now-a-days... I'm not sure if I can even imagine what a tshit would look like and you got 3 of them. Once you get them, I'd like to know how they was packaged... Never thought I'd see the day that tshits would be handed out all willy nilly like that, haha

lol for real. yea man I couldn't help but to post a reply to that. I read it the first time and my diaphragm fell out of my ass I was laughing so hard. I mean it wouldn't have been funny had it been any other combination of mispelling, but a tshit? how can you not laugh and at least say something about a tshit? lol im still laughing, it just hit the right spot at the right moment I guess. Thanx! I really needed a laugh today

hell i will give you $20 for a tshit

mate do you reckon you could get me a few tshit's. im diein for a fix

Laughing sounds are coming out of my mouth.

Is that the dumprep for the tshit?

Dude, your thread is done . . .

The WDM driver is a series of drivers used to enable the capture and TV tuner features on VIVO boards, and the ALL-IN-WONDER series of cards. Theoretically, unless you're using the VIVO capability of your card, then you should't need it to play games. But if you ever plan to use the Video In Video Out (VIVO) capablities, you will need the WDM drivers.
