Is anyone else having a weird lockup where it doesnt crash it just freezes and your speakers make buzzing noises. I have got this on and off since 12.6. I thought it was a bad OC but I have proven it to be very stable.
Twice so far for me. ALways while playing a game called maplestory and watching netflix. The game max res is only 1024x768 because its old. So I put it in window mode and play with netflix next to it on my 1080p monitor. The game is very old and was based on a P4 so even with an unstable OC it couldnt crash a dang thing. I just did a much more extensive cleaning on my pc too.
heard of this over the years, so it could be anything & possibly related to OC (not that there's not enough power or cooling, it could be a simple timing mismatch since gfx cards arent with perfect error correction, a little skip could confuse the driver or OS, boom)
I've had the same stable OC for a good 8 months now though, and it just started now. I have only had 12.6 for only a week and a half at most.
I run a 1225/1650 overclock 24/7. All three of the 12.6 beta releases have lockup (screen freeze) with me. Had to do hard reboots to clear them. It wasn't during games tho. I use TRIXX for my overclocking and afterburner for my temps on my logitech g510 kb lcd. Also I have HWiNFO64 to monitor my system with. With the 12.6 beta drivers installed I would get a lockup any time I tried to open TRIXX or HWiNFO64 after leaving a game. They opened just fine prior to starting any game. Weird. Doesn't do that with 12.4 or 12.5 beta. Back to 12.5 beta now.
Yeah my OC on my 7970 isn't stable anymore on 12.6 betas like it was on all previous drivers up untill now. Very Strange. Not sure whether to try the new leaked June 12th Betas or go back to 12.4 whqls
I got the freeze first time, then i just got random coloured screens with stripes down them, went back to the April 18th 12.5 betas, and all good again
i was playing residente evil 5 and it was already having some wierd freezes but didnt care at the time but came tho that part where you fight with that bow that falls from a capsule you can stil see the vídeo of crhis and sheva going down the elevator and then boom screem freeze next to a black screem and hard reset becouse the computer blocks but i can stil hear the sound of the game runing wierd but its not only me then something realy bad with those drivers i guess ati shouldnt rush their drivers becouse things like this are stupid it works great on sme games and on others this things apear
Yeah i tried the 12 June unofficals, seemed ok for a day but back to lockups in BF3 last night like the 12.6 offical betas did. Going to go back to 18th April 8.97's aswell as those and the 12.4 betas were fine for me.
i've been getting occasional "gray screen of death"-lockups since i installed the 12.6 betas. didn't have such problem with any driver before. anyone tried if going back to 12.4 whql fixes this? -andy-
I registered just to confirm the problem with me too. Since I installed last beta 12.7 I have been sufering weird lockups, I am using trixx too. The OC was rock solid before... I installed the new 12.6 official the other day and the problem still there... Something is wrong...
I can´t even install 12.6 at all, it´ll just black screen during driver install and the screen won´t come back up at all, after I reboot the system, the driver seems to be installed but I have these ugly back borders around the screen because I can´t access CCC.
Don't download this "whql" 12.6 driver it will make you freeze and crash in any game (sometimes only with a video). Same problem on 2 computers here with 6870 and 6970 cards. This driver is a poison for your graphic card!
