What causes this???

[shilala]

I've been playing COD2.
I'll be humming along and the game starts to puke. If I stop and let it settle I can continue to play. If I don't, it starts a quick stutter and locks up my machine.

I though it may be a driver issue so I uninstalled ATI drivers and tried Omega.
It got worse and I stepped back to ATI Drivers.

The rig is in my sig if that helps.

Thanks!!!

Your GPU oc /CPU might not be stable.

Any suggestions on testing/isolating?

clock back GPU and memory to stock see if that fixes if .
If not try your CPU as well.

How much voltage you running on that X2?

I'd start by backing your core/mem clock to say 500/400 (or stock if that's higher). Bump up 10MHz at a time and re-run the game testing for that instability.

I'd say its your GPU, but if none of those GPU clock changes make a diff its fair to say it is probly your CPU OC.

I took the cpu back to stock and it runs smooth as silk.
What kind of voltage should I use on that x2 at about 2350 ghz?
I tried to ramp it up and it shyts all over the place.
The oc'ing on this board is super poor. It's very flakey.
