I use powerstrip to change resolutions for games on my Radeon 8500. Until recently this has not been a problem.
Over the last few days I have had lockups (hard lock) with looping sound when I have been playing quake3 for about 1 minute sometimes sooner. Now after alot of testing and rolling back everything to default etc. I even completely re-installed Windows XP on another drive new drivers for the radeon and nothing else installed except powerstrip. Delted my q3config file and it created a brand new one as if the game had never been run.
Still the same thing. So I remove powerstrip and the problem goes away.
The thing is I have not changed anything in Powerstrip or on my pc, it just started making my PC lockup. Now I really want to use powerstrip because it allows me many resolution at many custom refresh rates that Windows etc does not like 115HZ in 1024 x 768...
Any ideas? Maybe another program that will allow me to create custom refresh rates for each resolution.
