Hi all,
I didn't know if to post this in the vista forums or here, so I'll settle with this. anyway I build a new system yesterday and installed vista to latest sp1 (all updates) and installed some games. I Got corsair dominator (2 sticks of 2gs) 4gbs of ram and they are rated at 1066mhz. So I upped my FSB to 400 mhz to put my Quad core speed at 3.4ghz(Q9550 rated at 2.83ghz) Anyway since then I was unable to get vista to run stable in games. I could play a couple of games like steams HL2 series and COD4 but other games would hard lock and the system screen would go black and reboot. After restart Vista would say that ATi drivers where to blame(BSOD Error 1033) However, sometimes vista would recover and say that "atikmdag stopped responding"
System:
Q9550 Core two Quad (OC to 3.4ghz and fsb set to 400mhz)
CORSAIR DOMINATOR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) <---I can only set at 800mhz for system to be stable in games. I can run vista at this speed it is only when in games.
Asus Rampage Formula
3870 Radeons Crossfired (not OC at stock and use rivaTuner v2.11 to put fans at set speed so it should neever overheat )
650watt BFG powersupply
I'm in a rush so if you need more info I'll post it later.
