My HTPC rig: Antec Fusion Max Remote, ASUS P7P55D DELUXE, Intel Core i7 860, OCZ 2x2GB 2000mhz, Intel® X25-M SSD 160GB, 2x 1TB Samsung F1, XFX Radeon HD 5850, NEC/Optiarc AD7200S, Mist 1000W PSU. When I watch a movie/tv-series with MPC Home Cinema (with settings: EVR Custom Pres./DXVA) I often get black screen and the message: "Display driver has stopped responding and has recovered". It also has happened with web-tv (Silverlight) and while watching Youtube. Have tried a couple of games with no problem. No problems while surfing, or with other apps, just while watching video. Anyone experienced any similar problems? Any solution out there? I'm running Win 7 x64 and have the latest display driver, mobo/chipset driver and bios. PS: Found that other have the same problem here: http://forums.amd.com/game/messageview.cfm?catid=260&threadid=120896&enterthread=y (where I also presented my prob)
I have same setup and working fine on 7x64. Cat 9.11 Im using the CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack) Its includes the nesest MPC-HC http://www.cccp-project.net/
Looks like a card dependent problem to me... Display driver unresponsiveness could mean a lot of things. Try updating directX (http://www.filehippo.com/download_directx/) Try updating MPCHC (http://xvidvideo.ru) Run CCCP insurgent and make sure you have no other codec packs installed. Does it only occur in DXVA mode? Fall back to software mode for now. Add "Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder" to the "External Filters" list as "Block". (try the "Preferred" setting and see if you get crashes). You also have a very new videocard, so I expect it to have various issues.
Thank you for answering my thread. I have the latest drivers, bios, directx and mpc hd version. I get driver crashes in MPC HD only whlie using EVR Custom Pres. / DXVA. And only when switching to full screen (or back to desktop from full screen, and more often while using 1080p/24hz than 60hz), pauses or continue play, and sliding forward/rewind. I also get some big artifacts with MPC HD while doing this before it crashes. (quite like it's described here: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=309434). Not the green color, but the picture is full of artifacts/mosaic blocks. It clears after the video changes "scene", or it crashes and the screen goes black with the driver not responding message. Hope this explained it ok... My english is quite rusty.
(sent) velkommen til guru3d c1: Hiii :nerd: I heard video acceleration feature is broken on cat 9.11. Btw, have you tried to find out, if you may have issues, with DXVA Checker ? It might help you to perform some tweak into Catalyst settings Bump me anytime on Skype ( denlordtroll ) or MSN. P.S. My Skype username is just a pun: I am aware of troll is neuter ( -et ) plus 'den' is the beginning of my first name although it may resemble another word. :banana: did anyone notice I have a "light" thing for Norway ? *coughing*
Ok... Found out that the crashes just appear while running DXVA with 1080p/24hz. When using 1080p/60hz, everything is ok. It's also fine with no hardware acceleration (VMR9 renderless) with all resolutions. Sooo the problem is with MPC HC running DXVA, EVR Custom Pres., full screen set to 1080p/24hz (watching 720p/24hz movies or tv-series, upscaled to 1080p/24hz). Then the display driver crashes and stops responding. Edit: Tested with a mkv file with 1080p/24hz resolution and had the same crashing... so it's not just with 720p files. This didn't happen with my Nvidia GTX280, but have started when I switched to ATI HD5850. Anyone?
Remember some files may have not been encoded with correct settings (nerd: file doesn't match reference number of frames) so dxva won't work in that case. With Vista/7, dxva works ONLY if you use EVR Custom Renderer. Btw, it seems you have to set some values onto DxvaChecker. Option A: press CTRL+V (or manually click on top-right downscroll menu and select "Video Acceleration Settings" and click 'load' and select "avivo.vas" confirm - done! Option B: Instead of loading "avivo.vas", -at your own risk- I already prepared another one (it contains more tweaks), if you are unsure stick with my previous clue http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=8505bb9e2eff561736df4e8dca14196908bdd205f60dd8f084bbec0582a7e90e God natt. P.S. users generally say "it's not required to have proper video acceleration" but I'd also suggest to install the 'avivo' (xcode) package from Ati's website (avavaiable from optional downloads).
God dag. Er du norsk? I have the HD5850, and that doesn't support avivo? When I select Video Acceleration Settings in DXVA Checker, the load button is grayed out. Nothing in the list either. PS: Why should this work? Don't know what this will do....
I have this same stupid issue, often with 720p stuff. Think it's just ATIs awful drivers, so I'm hoping it gets fixed soon.
That's not good, but kinda nice to know I'm not the only one. Does it just happen when you upscale to 1080/24?
I see .... maybe present DXVA Checker won't work with HD5xxx :3eyes: I heard Cat 9.10 and 9.11 have just brought trouble. (especially in combination with Win 7 x64) Perhaps you may stick with other decoders such as CoreAVC or PowerDVD or Haali until Ati (it seems Catalyst must have the blame) decides to release better drivers. Rumor: disabling Aero might work to solve upscaling/tearing (also on 1080p/24) Useful sources: http://nunnally.ahmygoddess.net/watching-h264-videos-using-dxva/ http://nunnally.ahmygoddess.net/all...o-know-about-media-player-classic-homecinema/ -ot-
another user wrote "Dynamic Contrast" must be turned off. (eventually untick from CCC's Avivo settings) has a workaround :nerd:
