Now i've tried reinstalling my drivers, bought a new power supply because i thought it could be that, updated bios no help there, tried different ram...nothing. I am drastically looking for an answer because i can't game at all, any game if i run for like 10 minutes freezes, bsod, saying something like display driver failed to restart or some bs, i tried to open a ticket with ATI but no help there. When windows restarts it says , vista has crashed click here to search for problem and it says it has to do with my drivers. I have tried the one on the disk the latest and almost every one inbetween.

My current system is;
Intel q6600 2.4ghz
ocz ddr2 800 4 gigs 4 5 4 18
western digital sata 320 gig hdd
sapphire hd 2900 xt
corsair 750watt PS
abit fatal1ty fp-in9 SLI (ya i know sli mobo with ati)

any help would be nice

Welcome to DriverHeaven!

A few things to try:

1. If any overclocking, revert to default speeds

2. Try loosening the RAM timings and notch

3. Try with 2 GB RAM

4. Run Memtest86+ to make sure the RAM is stable Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

5. Check temperatures during loads

6. Which Driver Versions have you tried?


Note: I've used ATi cards quite a bit this past year on SLi boards without issues like this. When I did have issues, it was the fault of the RAM.

Have you tested the CAT 8.1 drivers?

So, any change or still the same problem/s?

Another thing about RAM: If you're using the BIOS AUTO detect for the RAM, I suggest you go into the BIOS and manually adjust the RAM to the specs for that particular RAM. The reason being, when I've had some issues like this, I found that the RAM was not being set properly when using the AUTO setting. Try this and let us know the result.

look around for a quality reg cleaner for VISTA, i think you can try a demo of VISTA Manager from Yamicsoft, has a good reg cleaner, temp file cleaner, and reg defragger. try it

Naw the new drivers didn't change anything, i did change my ram settings to what they're suppose to be but no difference, I'm going to try that reg cleaner.

no that didn't work, i'm starting to wonder if my mobo didn't die in some way because it use to work once upon a time but now it doesn't :-/
