help wanted please....

[lots]

As for drivers, use the 77.xx set. the 80.xx set dont seem to play well with alot of things..

[bernieLomax]

thankx lots...
i´m going to try the 77.xx
yesterday my 3ds max when it was starting up it hang up with the cpu at 1000%. so i upgraded to the 81.95 and all of the sudden my screen went crazy like it was zooming the upper left corner of the screen see pic... could it be the monitor cable don´t know...

[bernieLomax]

so stil wayting for answers....
post your drivers....

I seem to be having similar issues, I too have an asus 6800td. Although I don't have the zoom to right upper screen, sometimes I do have 100%cpu usage (screen halting 30 seconds, frame, wait 30 seconds, frame, that idea) when attempting to run applications in windowed mode.

I'm guessing it has to do with driver conflicts. I had a radeon 9600 before this one, and I think the drivers are conflicting with one another (although I removed the old ones, etc).

I really don't want to reformat...

Ahh, mine used to do that, never could work out wtf caused it. If its any help, heres what I discovered:

Only happens when dual screens are enabled
Only ever happened to the primary screen
Not related to the screen

It would happen maybe once every few hours, changing resolution by guessing the cursor location fixed it each time. Hasn't done it for a few months so I assumed the drivers fixed it (77.72 here)

Oh, one more thing, it was related to video files. As soon as a video player opened for example, that would trigger it, maybe 10% of the time, even browsing through a folder of videos would make it happen as it generated thumbnails. Perhaps a really badly behaved codec? check for latest versions of divx, xvid etc.

thanks alot
but my computer is beeing formatted know if the propblem happens again then i´m´going to throw my vga card to my vendors face...

[deathman20]

I'd say its driver related... Even just using a driver cleaner would probably of worked to get rid of the issue then reinstalling them. But hopfully the reformat will do the trick.

[bernieLomax]

so i went and formatted my machine and f....k sake, it is the same except for the cooler problem that all of the sudden used to shutdown... so the zoom problem remains... all the same.
the main problem is that have to acess my computer thru VNC to change any display properties so that all returns to normal...
my current display drivers are 77.77

Have you installed any third party codecs or is the install still fresh? Im fairly sure its related to a video codec of some sort, especially as opening a folder full of videos used to trigger the problem for me quite often.

[bernieLomax]

no imashination i have´nt installed any video codecs yet...
just quicktime 6.5 pro and directx 9.0c
but i don´t think that maybe the problem,....
still searching hugsbern...

[bernieLomax]

so here i am really late in the evening... almost morning.
and i decided to give my graphics card another chance and another go for it...
this time i assume that it has an identity problem and it needs to have this problem corrrected... so i softmoded it to have 16 pipelines and 6 vertex shading active instead of 12 5 each...
this time i´m going to leave rivatunner open all night and since my problem it´s not graphics intensive i´m going to monitor my computer behavior thru the rest of the night...
willl report later tomorrow...
hugs bern

[bernieLomax]

ok so the mod didn´t solve the issue... but i have 16x 6 pipesXvertex in my graphics card...
this time when my problem happend i had rivatunner turner on in monitor mode so it was able to record a huge change in FB voltage i think but i will poost the results soon...
hugs bern

It is possible something is wrong with the card, have you tried to use the card in a different system?

[bernieLomax]

nope sorry...
but i´m going to try and exchange it with a friend of mine...
i have another system but it is pci express...

[bernieLomax]

just to say a last update... this year began with a more stable graphcs card.. but stiill it happend all over again... this time while i was pçlaying need for speed underground2 2 so hugs bern

[bernieLomax]

and again still another post...
havn´t tryed it in another system... :P
but this time it keeps happening through out the evening even if i´m not doing anything..
maybe it is the power supply
or mother board setting still trying to figure it out...
please Help!!!

p.s:
imagine this you are playing NFSU2 at 800x600 and my propblem happens check pick(first post) and if you go into windows or standby mode it will all be okay.... so what should i do
