Lo peeps,
Just built a new system:
Sapphire PE-AM2RS740G Mobo
AMD 7750 (2.7)
Gainward Golden Sample 4870 1GB
Kingston CL8500 (5-5-5-15) (4GB)
Antec HE Neopower 550W PSU
Samsung Spinpoint F1 (640GB)
Vista Ultimate 64 (SP1)
Problems I am having is due mainly to stability, playing WoW tends to cause the system to freeze, Vista sometimes recovers by restarting.
Vista says the ATi display driver is the problem, causing a BSOD.
I tried 9.3 this resulted in a crash, usually within 10-15 minutes. With the 9.2's I got around an hour out of it before the crash.
Is there a problem I am missing or are these drivers known to cause problems? I've downloaded the 8.12 and 9.1 drivers to try. It is a royal pain in the ass because of the board using an Ati/AMD chipset. 9.3 were the only driver package to include the HDMI sound driver.
Other problem I am having is with USB ports, I'm not getting enough power to run the WD passport HDD unless I unplug something, like the USB Wifi dongle.
I do have this arriving possibly tomorrow, ASROCK A790GXH/128M, because the sapphire board although it's a 740G isn't a 7-Series chipset, so no AMD OD, board also doesn't have CPU voltage modifier, despite having a load of other OC functions.
Hope you can help.
