    BSOD's with afterburner?

    Am having some trouble with afterburner, with it installed and overclocking my graphics cards they can reach a nice stable speed (and stay at load for 24+ hours) however upon rebooting it seems that my graphics cards are causing the system to hang for a moment then bsod (any time anything accesses it, like gpu-z, F@H or games), and the only way to rectify this issue is to re install the drivers, or uninstall afterburner.

    The odd thing is even keeping the cards at stock speed, and restarting windows will display this behavior with afterburner, so it has nothing to do with the overclock itself, nor does it seem to be a problem with the drivers, as keeping things stock and rebooting (no afterburner installed) works fine.

    Any suggestions as to what could be the problem? am very tempted to ditch afterburner and try and find something else that can overclock 2 cards (riva won't work as it can't do anything with the GT240 )

    EVGA precision may be worth a go but it is basically rivatuner. You could always ask it not to start with windows or disable it in MSCONFIG and see if it helps.

    There may be registry entries/profile left over from a previous BSOD and thats breaking your drivers. This happended with ATT to the point I gave up on it. Maybe its done by the same man!
