Stalker crashing..

[Cunhao]

Ok.. i tried that, but i can't download the program that he say to get and i don't find the free version. So i just reinstaled all the windows here. It's like that: I have 3 hd's (20+80+160). So, i just formated and reinstaled the hd with the windows (80). Stalker and another games are in the 160. But i got the same problem: the game star to load, soon i can hear the music of the menu but the screen is black. Then, the music crash and my pc reboot (even after I reinstaled all the windows..).

When i tried to use the ATI Tray Tools, these are the options that i have 'moved':

- Performance mode
- Stardart Tweaks
- Advanced Tweaks
- "Queue of something"
- Overclock... in this part, i was just 'experimenting' some functions to see how the ATT overclock works. Then, i tried that option... err.. something like 'Automatic overclock', that the program look for the best clock for you (i thinked that was something like the overdriver..). But, in 15~30 seconds of auto testing, the screen freeze with some small blue points all over the screen. So i fast rebooted my pc (afraid that something worst happen to my vga). I wonder if that don't maked very 'bad' to my VGA...

What do you guys think?

Tomorrow i will test another vga here, see if the problem is in my vga or in another thing..

Everytime i try something here to make Stalker run... i get more distant to make it... u_u''' Sry for the baaaaad english..

Atrocious: thanks for the help you're giving. :]

Donib: i don't get it... where i find that?? oo'''

Unconscious: i don't have that kind of problem, because, when crash or freeze here, is kind of random.

that's very similar to the problem i had in OL 2.1, when i was in the red forest, all the sudden the game started to studder whenever you moved it wouldn't exactly freeze up or anything, but when i shut off the scorcher and made it outside of the lab i was killed and the game just crashed, nothing but a black screen. i reloaded a manual save and the game worked perfect after that.

(quick save was corrupted)

but i've never had a problem with vanilla, it's probably your system.

Yes, it's pretty sure your system/drivers are f***ed up. Although I would suggest to try another game to see if that works with you "new" system. And I wouldn't suggest overclocking because it can make the system unstable (or in the worst case toast your GPU) and your system seems to unstable enough.

Ok... now I got to make everything go back to normal. It's very weird, but, the only thing that i have done is change the connectors in my video. In place to use the left connector I used the right connector. And when I turn my pc on, in the bios menu, he said that the 'overclock as failed'. And then, everything runed fine...

I tried make this because, i tested my gpu in my friend's pc, using the right connector and worked. Now, i tried the samething in here and worked too.

Atrocious: yes.. maybe when i was testing the overclock in ATT, my system just applied that clocks in my test (that crashed my gpu). Now seems that is everything back to default values.

tx1198: a save file corrupted can make that? i mean.. make everything instable like that? sttutering and freezing? Because.. before, when i start playing stalker, that kind of problem didnt happen.. i don't wanna lost my save game... T-T

Connector? What do you mean?

It's where you plug the monitor in the gpu. Here, i have 2. When my pc was crashing, the monitor was plugged in the left 'entrance'. Now I plugged the monitor in the right one.

Odd, very odd.

Ok.. forget what i said. Already discovered what was crashing my pc: the catalyst AI. Everytime that I try to use the Advanced Catalyst AI, when entering in ANY game (Stalker, Crysis, Supreme Commander, Day of Defeat Source and even Sexy Beach 3... hehe), just appeared a black screen and then crashed, and all that I could do was reboot.

The version of my Catalyst is the 8.6.
