vid oc became unstable

[jmajik]

I have been successfully overclocking my vid card at 233/436 using rivatuner with 1.8 vcore 3.0 vdimm until recently. I've install the omega version of the det 30.82 driver and cannot run 3dmark at all. I've tried uping vcore and vdimm to the max but 3dmark always freezes. I've also tried deleting the omega driver and rolling back the original 30.82 driver and that causes freezes as well. Does anyone know what is going on with my system? I'm tired of searching the threads and running 3dmark. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks in advance.

Try something like this. Then reistalling your old drivers.

Thanks for the info. I tried using the program but it kept on saying that an application did not close when I go to hit restart. I tried erasing all files it would list ( 2 at a time ) manually and rebooting in vga mode. I installed the omega 30.82 upon restart and the vid is still unstable while running 3dmark.

It's a strange problem. I was running stable for a long time before all this happenned.

Sounds like you need to reinstall windows~ sometimes those bugger of a files will dig themselfves in DEEP

man.....exactly what I didn't want to hear

Overclocks can go bad, just get your GPU too hot one time and it's back to stock.

So, you only have this problem when overclocked or does it do it at stock too? Have you been playing around with sideband addressing settings? (that can be a bugger to undo)

Yeah, I don't what it is. I haven't been messing with settings like aa or sideband. I'm starting to think that maybe the psu is just wearing down.
