Wondering if anyone can help me out.. I recovered from a crash recently and reinstalled my OS and drivers on a newly formatted HD... everything should be running wonderfully, however..
I'm completely unable to OC my CPU. Every time I do it and then play a game, I quickly get a blue screen of death error saying "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION". There's a bunch of other stuff there but I can't read it cause the machine reboots almost instantly. I'm on Windows XP Pro, by the way
In addition, I'm getting a relatively low framerate on Tribes 2. Before the crash, with the same hardware and drivers, I was getting 100 - 200 fps. now I'm getting 75 - 150, with the occassional drop to BELOW 30 during action sequences, which obviously is unacceptable!
I don't know what the problem is... can anyone help? hardware is listed in my sig.. ignore the overclocking status though
Here's some driver info:
I dl'd the latest mobo drivers from Abit's site, and installed them. They are the same drivers I had installed before the crash.
My nVidia drivers were 44.05 (or whatever the latest is exactly) but I downgraded to 43.45 (thinking it might have been the cause) but still am having the same problem..
Thanks in advance..
