bagman Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Hi there Curious if any other 7950GX2 users have had this problem. Just installed the card yesterday with 91.31 drivers. The game can get past the load screen, then I get a blue screen with a message on. Unfortunately it is shown for such a short time I can't read what it says. Games crashes and re-boots PC. Ayone else experiencing this running a 7950GX2 and any ideas what is causing this ?? Running game version 1.21 cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Profile Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 You are not running with the latest NVIDIA drivers. People have reported problems running these 7950 cards with repsects to certain games using the drivers out the box. I'd highly recommend updating your video drivers to the latest and greatest from NVIDIA's website. This should take care of your problem.

Reject Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 You are not running with the latest NVIDIA drivers. 91.31 are the latest drivers. I have a 7950 also and I'm having problems. I'm not sure if my problem is my GFX card or other reasons though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell you though, a lot of people who have been crashing at the load screen have fixed it by upgrading sound drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoQuarter Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 @Reject: Did you have any lockups or graphic/physics problems prior to 1.21 (and it's SLI recognition feature)? Could be the same issue... http://www.ghostrecon.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=38039 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyHaired Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 There's a 91.45 WHQL. GR:AW is mentioned somewhere in the release notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagman Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 Well changed drivers to 91.33 and 91.45 with no luck. Still crashes. The "blue screen message"stayed on for a few secs longer, so that I could read very quickly there was a hardware issue. I know the game was working when I first installed with my previous card. The only thing I can think of is, I have had some issues upgrading my sound card drivers. Had to revert to a slightly older ( but not that much older) version. In fact the version I reverted to was the same with my previous 7800GTX that ran the game fine. Surely it can't be crashing because of sound card drivers ?? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyHaired Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Sound drivers can be a reason. Have you checked dxdiag and the sound tab to see if there's an error message? (order's sake: click "Run", type "dxdiag" (without quotes) and click "Save all information to save the file to you desktop) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Profile Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 (edited) You are not running with the latest NVIDIA drivers.

I'd highly recommend updating your video drivers to the latest and greatest from NVIDIA's website. This should take care of your problem. My bad. You all are correct of course. Those are the latest drivers for a single 7950 setup. The statement I made is true, but with regards to much earlier driver versions than the latest ones you have. Sorry for the bad intel. Only trying to help. Edited August 14, 2006 by Low Profile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(order's sake: click "Run", type "dxdiag" (without quotes) and click "Save all information to save the file to you desktop) Ran dxdiag...no error messages I guess I'll have to a clean and complete removal of my sound card drivers and see if that corrects the issue. Otherwise I am baffled as to what is causing the problem cheers Edited August 15, 2006 by bagman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyHaired Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 If you saved the dxdiag file, you can copy/paste the contents in here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagman Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 SUCCESS !!!!!!! I would not have believed it, but after doing a clean install of my sound card drivers, including the installation of the drivers off the original CD and then updating to the latest ones, the game no longer crashes For those who follow, take a look at Creative Knowledge Base Solution ID # 1712 which details how to do a clean un-install and deletion of all files relating to the sound card. I followed the instructions to the letter and now I am back playing this great game Thanks so much to all advice given Greatly appreciated cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it can't be crashing because of sound card drivers ?? cheers Good gracious, upgrading from 7800 GTX to 7950... isn't that alot of money for a small step forwards? 2 things I can think of 1 power supply a 7950 GTX uses due to SLI a bit more power than the "old" 7800 GTX, If youre looking for an adress to dump the old card ask me...... (got a geforce 6600 now, so i will really benefit from such an upgrade) teh other might be that you have a non SLI motherboard, but since the pc starts up working that would be odd., I would try a fresh GRAW install and patch up. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADS-SMOKEATER Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 i had the same problems after installing the new drivers for my 7900's. i uninstalled the drivers and GRAW then reinstalled the new drivers and then GRAW and the patches and everything worked great after that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
