X1950GT Problems with Vista
Hey guys,
My current system setup is as follows: 700w Jeantech Storm PSU Core2Duo E6420 2Gb Corsair 4-4-4-12 PC6400 Gigabyte GA-965GM-S2 Motherboard X1950GT 512mb Windows Vista (Home Premium) I'm having problems getting this card to run ANY games so far in Vista and have tried the Catalyst 7.3 and 7.4 drivers so far. I have been to colorfuls website (manufacturer) and the driver they supply is simply 7.3, so I am wondering if anyone can offer advice? Vista is reporting the BSOD's as a driver issue, Star Wars: EAW ran fine for a few minutes before it went into a BSOD, Homeworld 2 BSOD'd soon after the menu screen, and as soon as I hit the application launcher for Counterstrike: Source, it BSOD'd straight away, and continued to BSOD right after startup and restart continuously until I manually shut the computer down. Also, this seems to happen right before the BSOD (both on desktop, and in games): Pic1, Pic2, Pic3 Can anyone please offer advice? I feel like theres nothing else left to try.

To me it looks like a hardware issue and not a software issue - I've got the bog standard sapphire x1950pro and it runs every game I throw at it. You've got artefacting which to me suggests possibly overheating? Have you overclocked your card at all? Is your cooling sufficient? If you can rule those out then maybe it is vista, but in my limited experience, ATI drivers are quite hapy with vista.
Have you tried the card in xp? |
