Video driver always crashes when I start from sleep mode. System either freezes or crashes to a white or tiled screen where I must hard reset. This only happens when I shoot from sleep mode. Any ideas why this is happening?
Card: XFX 6950 Unlocked @ 960/1400 @ 1.25V
Matt; I could format the HDD successfully on another system. Besides, I mentioned that the PC booted FINE from the HDD, but not from any external media!
Corky; I did use a bootable USB though, which gave me the exact same bug :S...
I used that same DVD to format my own PC. I created a new DVD and used a bootable windows7 USB all of which gave me the same result.
Update: I took the HDD and formatted it with a clean install of win7 by hooking it to my own PC. After the install it booted innto the HDD fine so I took it out...
bubbleone,
i booted from my HDD, checked both my media (the DVDROM and the USB) and they're both detected. I tried to repair install win 7 from my DVD ROM and it gave me an error message saying I need to se the flag to 9 or something along that (I do not remember it). I tried running the win7...
I don't see the relation to the PSU? I did mention the system boots fine from the HDD into windows 7. It's the bootable windows 7 set up process that's giving me this headache. How can this be the PSU?
I also removed my HDD and used a Seagate Barracuda HDD (data HDD, no OS) and tried to format that but same. So it indicates this is irrelevant to the HDD.
Hey guys. Just trying to format my brother's system and I'm getting some confusing results here. Let me give you a little background before I proceed:
I disassemble my bro's system to clean it and put it back together. At first there are problems booting from HDD but then it boots fine. I...
Okay after reading the anand BF3 performance review I got sort of worried. I game at 1080p. What are the maximum settings I can set the game at for offline/online play? Specs in sig.
It's not just the heat with these chips. I believe its just that high voltages degrade it due to electron migration. That's what I know.
But really the question is; what is causing the blend test to BSOD?
Got my i5 running at 4.7 GHz at offset +0.050 (leading to a vcore of 1.344 under load in CPUz). It is OCCT CPU test stable for 3 hours and prime95 stable (small FFTs). My RAM is rated at 1600 9 9 9 24 @ 1.5V. I set it manually and run 3 memtest intstances, 0 errors after 100% coverage...
OP, so u have the card running at 1ghz at 1.2 V now? is it kombustor/occt/furmark stable or just stable in games?
the reason im asking is my 6950 (unlocked) cannot be stable at kombustor/occt at 950 even at 1.18-1.2v but its stable at gaming... so should i keep my maximum overclock to the one...
We all know torture testers like furmark/kombustor/occt gpu test are completely unrealistic and I've also read that in some instances gpus at stock settings will give errors with them. So in this case, what is a more 'real world' tester of stability (besides games ofc)? Is stability through a 30...
I'm not entirely a noob although flashing graphics cards is new to me (only flashed mobos before)
I did some research and found out that this error message happens mainly to people after a bad flash which is what's confusing me, as I'm on my stock BIOS and the card is relatively new. I'm...
Hey guys,
Using ATIFlash tool to unlock the shaders on my XFX 6950 1GB ZDFC. Booted into DOS with a USB stick that has the new BIOS and the ATIFlash files. Confirmed using dir command files are there. However, if I try to apply the unlock/flash commands I get an error: Adapter not...
I used the boot override function from within BIOS (not through the F8) and it's booting from one of the usb's now. the other is still displaying 'j'...
so i guess thats good enough for me thank u every1 for ur help i appreciate it guys....
now on to my new issue.... my brand new...
1. the 6970.rom is a BIOS I created in the RBE utility. It's actually a 6950 unlocked I should rename it.
2. how did u get it to boot? any special remarks to give me to get it to work?
1. tried flashing in win7 using winflash but it didnt work.... just got a loading bar but no confirmation message... BIOS is still the same
2. how r u gonna trouble shoot this? do u happen to have the same mobo?
thanks for ur help man
Yes you are right. There is always two entries: UFI and non-UFI. As I understand I need to do a non-UFI boot to get into DOS. (my OS is Win7 pro x64 and I formatted the usb with FAT32 using hp bootdisk utility and win98boot files. If I select the UFI option btw, thre system just boots into...
Kenmitch, I'm using the advanced BIOS menu and the USB does show up there as bankster says in two entries. I've tried prioritizing with both and it does not boot. I also disabled all other boot devices and it tells me 'insert boot device'. I've also tried booting from it using the F8 key and it...
This might be slightly irrelevant, but I am having problems booting into DOS from a USB disk with this mobo. (I need to use atiflash utility). Just read my thread and tell me if you guys think you have a solution.. much appreciated..

Tring to boot from my usb stick in order to flash my card's bios. USB is fine and perfectly bootable as I've tried it on a laptop and it boots just fine.
I've noticed when I plug the USB stick in the BIOS reads 'UFI: SMI USB stick'. I've changed that entry to priority 1 and no-go. Went into...
btw, should I just shoot for high OC's or unlock the card? are both possible? Any idea of what is the max safe voltage for those babies?
I know im asking a lot of questions but i just built my system recently and want to get my tweak fix :P
Hey peeps,
So I started tweaking my non-reference XFX 6950 1GB and to my luck I could implement voltage control through MSI AB which is surprising since its non-reference. Anyway, the card went to 930/1300 at stock voltage and is now sitting at 970/1300 at 1.188 vcore. I've been hearing about...
First of all, hello everyone! :)
I'm getting an entirely new system and went for a logitech G110 keyboard as well as a cyborg RAT 7 mouse. The mouse feels very very well built and I personally love how it looks and its technical specs.
However, I've been trying for the past couple of days...
I can either connect my headphones to the front panel, or to the rear of my computer (which is directly to the motherboard if I'm not mistaken). Both configurations cause the same issue. I flashed my motherboard to the latest 7.4 BIOS in hope for a fix, but the problem still persists.
