4870X2 Lockups/BSOD

reinstall windows imo

 

More info on the crashes:

Application Name: Fallout3.exe
Application Version: 1.0.0.35
Application Timestamp: 48d194b3
Fault Module Name: atiumdag.dll
Fault Module Version: 7.14.10.636
Fault Module Timestamp: 496d6d9d
Exception Code: c0000005
Exception Offset: 0004ad03
OS Version: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.256.1

Crashes in all games seem to result from atiumdag.dll faults.

 

Like Omek said ,install a fresh windows (format it before installing)

Many user got problems when they go from nV to Ati.

 

Ok...

I reinstalled windows, but this time went with XP, and IT WORKS!!

I'm no longer experiencing any gpu lockups or BSODs with any games. The bad thing is that I still don't know what the root of the problem was. I guess it could have been driver incompatibilities with vista, or directx10 issues.

I guess I'll never know.

Anyway, thanks for the help guys. I'll continue to post here on your forums and help out whenever I can. I'd still like some suggestions as to what might have been the problem, as my gpu didn't seem to work properly under any configuration with vista or windows 7.

 

vista power plan not set to best performance?

 

Is your CPU heat sink full of dust? That can OFTEN cause bsod's and random lockups that someone might mistake as a video issue... Keep that **** clean!
