3dMark Problem

Goofyman23 · Aug 11, 2002

When I run 3Dmark2001SE it will randomly halt and freeze my pc. It doesnt matter what test its on, but I havent been able to complete the test so far :\.
Any suggests as to why this happens?

Your computer is unstable. Are you running your CPU or Video Card o/ced?

Goofyman23 · Aug 11, 2002

my vid is o/c'd:
Geforce4 ti 4600 @ 360/750
Should I run it a little lower?
I purchased it from ocsystem.com already setup like this with thier own version of the BIOS on the vid card.

If its making 3Dmark crash than its o/ced too high.

WHOA!!! stop right where you are.

360/750 is WAY above specs for a ti4600. if its stable anywhere near that you have gotten an incredible overclock.

I downloaded Powerstrip and it said my clocks were 317/750.
I just put them down to 263/729 which is the lowest it will go, is that good?

the higher the better but also the more unstable.

in other words... you want the numbers to go as high as will complete 3dmark2001se. if its too high for the card then it will kick you out of 3dmark or lock up your computer.

Even with the clocks down to 285/700 it still works like **** so I'm going to return it and get a MSI GF4 ti 4600 and work with a more stable card.

You should still clock lower. The default settings for a ti4600 are smg. like 300/650

Grande Juan · Aug 12, 2002

Goofyman, I don't see how you can justify returning a card because it doesn't run stable way overclocked. As Nikoror says you should try default 300/650. If you want to go for such a massive overclock you might look into a more aggressive cooling solution.

Sorry forgot my manners,WELCOME TO THE FORUMS

look at his post again, he said he bought it pre overclocked. i would return it too.

I can't believe the card didn't blow up when it was running at 360 core. From what I've seen anything above 310 is pushing the geforce 4 to its max.

DaedalusX · Aug 12, 2002

The default IS 300/650, if you're trying to run it at /750 then you should expect it to not work unless you have m@d cooling. Don't be putting yourself in the situation of not having a video card for a while. MSI Ti 4600 isn't even a very good 4600, you'll want a Leadtek, Gainward, or ASUS (that is if you do decide to not listen to us and get a new one)

So lower the clock speed, if powerstrip won't lower it down to default then find something that will. Most Ti 4600s that I've seen already come with overclocking tools.
