ok ok OK! Guys need some help! (again.)
Was playing Counter-Strike Source and my system just blacked out. The screen just turned black and it was like wtf, I have never experienced anything like that before. Take note, it doesn't lock up, it just went poof, and nothing is responding. The keyboard numlock is on, the situation is just like when you switched on yoour computer. The fans are still spnning though. No sound, Alt-control-delete also no use.
Ok, then i pressed the reset button on my case, and tried to lower all my overclocked settings.
1) from 2.4ghz to 2.2ghz
2) all voltages back to normal (ram, graphics card and CPU voltages all to normal.)
3) backed my card frequencys to 480core/714mhz
4) uninstalled the ATI 4.11 drivers and installed the Omega 4.10beta drivers.
5) realised that in my RAGE3DTweak under the OpenGL tab, the forced 16bit textures was on (means that all the textures over 16bit were forced to run only in 16bit -_-|| ), so i unchecked it. 3Dnow, SSE and SSE2 enabled under Rage3DTweak.
Ok this is the thing. Realised my AGP speed is 8X. (I had issues with Doom3 last time, tried EVERYTHING INCLUDING FORMATTING MY HARDDISK, and realised that by reducing my AGP speed to 4x, the game will not lock-up anymore.)
Ok, now last time when i first got my half-life 2, i was playing with the Omega 4.10beta drivers. completed without any problems. with AGP8X and OCed CPU, Ram and Graphic card.
After i installed the new 4.11s, everything when haywire, and thats when the blackout happened. Running with AGP8X.
Then i reverted back to the 4.10beta, with AGP8X, WITHOUT OCs. Blackout. The nick is that PREVIOUSLY, when running the same drivers, i can run a AGP8X, but now, i have to run at AGP4X to prevent BLACKOUTS (not lockups).
Is this problem got to do with my graphics card or mobo? Thanks...
