Reboot Problem with Omega 4.12 beta release

TuRfYMaN · Dec 22, 2004, 07:58 PM

Hey,
I bought a new Sony Vaio about a month ago, with P4 3.2, 1GB RAM, Radeon x300 PCIE, and Win XP Media Center Edition. I had the OEM drivers for a while, worked fine, then installed RadLinker, and still worked fine. Then I installed Omega 4.12 beta, and with the Omega drivers installed XP would occasionally fail and reboot when booting. I will just error and reboot before the welcome screen. I could usually just let it reboot once and it would boot then, but now it wouldn't even boot. To get Win to boot, i have to go into safe mode, remove the display driver, and then reboot and try to install a driver and cross my fingers to hope it boots. I've gotten an error "thread stuck in graphics device driver" before with the Omega drivers installed.

I'm out of ideas, the CCC 4.12 release seems to work for now, but games run a lot faster with the Omega drivers. I tried DriverCleaner, and then a reinstall of Omega, but that didn't work. I did use RadLinker to OC the card durring games, but I don't think the card ever got hot enough to damage the hardware.

Any advice anyone has would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Had the same problem on my desktop, reverted back to the last set of Omegas. Also my laptop monitor would shut off and I was unable to get it back on so I would have to do a hard boot to get it back. As soon as I loaded the last set of Omegas back on it works fine again. Sorry for the ultra simple explanations.
