Hey all, about my 9800GT, I was wondering if anyone could help here? I think it's GPU related but I'm not sure.
Occasionally when playing games, the game freezes and the graphics go bizzare and the screen flickers, I sometimes get a tray popup saying the nVidia driver stopped responding and recovered. Then I get about a thousand popups about ASRock IES and OC Tuner invalid something. The desktop graphics go bizzare too including the spinning mouse icon when I restarted, one time of which I got a BSOD.
Also sometimes the screen flickers and I get the display driver notification. This did happen when the card was overclocked and I thought I fixed it until the other day when it happened on a Youtube video.
Often one of the popups says the ATI Catalyst control center stopped responding. This is for the onboard Radeon card and still runs. Could this be conflicting?
Also infrequently the system just hangs, freezes mouse and all. I'm not sure if this is related (it's not common) but it happens any time, from the desktop to browsing the internet.
Cooler Master 500W PSU.
ASRock 890GM Pro (AMD 890GX Chipset)
AMD Phenom II X4 840 3.2GHz. (Running on 3.5 Turbo)
Palit 9800GT "Green".
I have just updated the video drivers, will see what happens. My friends told me to also uninstall the driver and use the Windows drivers. Does anyone else think that's worth a try? Also is it worth uninstalling the Radeon drivers? I will also run a memory test if I can find the CD. I recently built the system, running Windows 7 Ultimate.
