Game Crash Sapphire Radeon HD6950

[CornWood66]

Dear reader,

I have a problem with my card. Everytime when I play a game it runs fine for like 10 - 15 minutes, but then the game crashes and I get a Windows Error Report. So I click close and start the game again, but the game doesn't start and showing me strange colours. When I restart my system, the problem seems to be solved, but when playing a game again, I get the same story again. I've been struggeling with this problem for days now, looking on the internet, but found nothing what could help me. I really hope that one of you guys knows to sollution to my problem.

temps?

Hi,

On idle it's around the 40 C, sometimes even lower. And on load around 55 - 60 C. To be clear: They run on stock coolers, I didn't adjust any of that.

Do you have the latest drivers or did you shortly before this problem started update them ?

Temps, psu etc are ok so no problems there.

Yes, I updated the drivers after I found out about the problem. It didn't work. I tried it several times.

Do n't forget the CPU temperature-Realtemp or Speedfan will help there.
By the time you've powered down and rebooted the temperatures will have dropped considerably, so if you're not already doing so use GPU-Z or Afterburner for checking the GPU temperatures because they can log them so you'll have a record of those readings to consult after the crash.

I don't think it's the temperature. It only happens when I play some games like Bioshock or Sleeping Dogs. The other games run fine. So I don't it's the temperature. I can still use my pc after the game crash, but with colours and black screens when opening programs. After I restart my pc, the problem seems to be fixed, but when I play that game again, it happens again...

Sorry, i'm stuck then. Specially because it seems to be only with those games. Did try to find an update for those games ? Sometimes that helps.

I can imagine that the game will crash. But I can't imagine why I get strange colours after the game crashes.

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

Maybe because your drivers are screwed at that point, really dunno, out of ideas, sorry.

re-install AMD CCC 12.6 and patch sleeping dogs with 1.5

 

[ohyouknow]

use driver sweeper to get rid of all old drivers then a fresh install of 12.6 as suggested above.

You should try updating your motherboard drivers.
Have you tried switching PCI-E slot, if you have more than one available?
I'd suggest getting all the usual windows updates you can as well, especially the .net framework ones, if there are any.
It could also be a faulty gpu or motherboard, the first one being the most likely.

I already fixed the problem by returning the card to the store. They ran some tests en checked the card for possible damage. It turned out the chip was burned and that's why the GPU crashed allot. They gave me a replacement and everything is running fine now. Thanks for your reply though.

Oh, I'm an idiot. Dunno why I didn't check the date. Sorry, didn't mean to necro the thread.
