Begging for a new driver

**Regeneration** · November 25th, 2007, 05:56 AM

Before you reinstall anything, you need to solve this issue. First of all, you need to find the source of the issue. Update your BIOS, check the cables and everything. Run Memtest86+ to make sure your RAM is fine. Use another power supply (Dell 375w sucks).

Thats what i had previously said, change the power supply. Even though it is not running hot, it doesnt mean that its stable.

Also change motherboard.

I will get a new PSU this weekend. I was thinking 600 Watts. I would like something that can support a high end single GPU. My motherboard has only 1 PCI-E slot. Hopefully I might get a new mobo for Christmas (hopefully with DDR3 and PCI-E 2.0. Yesterday I installed the stock drivers that came with my GPU on the CD and they actually worked quite well. I was able to fly from San Francisco to Detroit which is a decent run. The PC was stable for most of the trip. FS did crash at one point but It claimed I didnt have enough HDD space which I didnt, so once I cleared it that was fine.

Now I am really angry at myself. Yesterday I finally had a working driver install and I had to rock the boat. I installed the CD drivers and decided to have a shot at 7.10 RC4 and 7.11 and they screwed things up again. Now I wish I could revert but I cant find the CD. Anyway Im going to bed. Unfortunately, Hockey Night was the only thing that kept me sane today. I hope the Power supply can fix things.

Unfortunately, we got hit with a snowstom and our snow tires arent here yet.A PSU is the last thing on our mind right now and are only going to 7-11 for our basic essentials.

Where are you located? Im encountering some issues but I have some suspicions that Microsoft may have something to do with this.I have some Visual Studio stuff installed that doesnt want to uninstall. I think it may be to do with NET Framework. I reinstalled it and the drivers worked but after reinstalling the one with the ATI package things stopped working. Do you think I need both 2.0 and 3.5?

Kingston a few hours down the 401 from ya. On net framework not sure seems hardware related to me. On the Cats from ATI they install Visual Basic that what you mean Bro ?

Ya thats what I mean. I had a few express editions installed. Is visual C++ absolutely necessary?
