9500pro Sapphire reset to 640x480 after freezing and device failure!!!
Hello everyone,
once a day, or once every couple of days, I experience computer freezing and sreen reset to minimal default. It happens very randomly, especially while I'm connected to the Internet, with eMule (v0.30c) or ShareAza (v1.8.9.34) on. At some point, out of the blue, the mouse pointer doesn't move anymore, the keyboard is locked up as the computer is freezing. Then the screen is reset to default 640x480 16colors with error message: "Windows has detected and recovered from a device failure - Please restart". When I retsart, everything goes back to normal, and works fine... If I check "VPU recover" in Catalyst control tab to enable it, the same thing happens, the monitor is powered off, the screen stays at 1024x748, and I get the message "a device failure has been detected and partially recovered - software render has been enabled - restart to set video to hardware render"... Any idea where does the problem come from? Defective Sapphire Radeon video card? USB or IRQ conflict? Internet attacks/intrusions killing/bombing my computer? eMule and/or ShareAza bugs? Thanx in advance for your help! Mark. My computer is as follows: =================== MB = Gigabyte GA-8IK1100 (Intel i875P / ICH5 chipset) CPU = Intel Pentium IV 2.4C (FSB 800) DDR = A-Data 2*256Mo PC3200 (Winbond BH-5 chips) dual channel VID = ATI Radeon 9500pro 128Mo (Omega Catalyst 3.9 drivers) HD = Hitachi/IBM Deskstar 120Go 7200 8Mo PSU = Fortron 350W ATX FSP350-60PN SND = onboard Realtek ALC655 audio chip PCI = none installed OS = Windows XP Pro SP1 (up to date) NET = AOL 8.0 MDM = Thomson Speed Touch 330 ADSL (300.7.0.2 driver) AVR = Norton Internet Security 2003 Pro (up to date) Windows System Information: ===================== IRQ 0 - System clock - OK IRQ 1 - Standard keyboard 101/102 keys PS/2 - OK IRQ 6 - Standard floppy drive controller - OK IRQ 8 - System Clock CMOS/real time - OK IRQ 9 - ACPI compatible Microsoft - OK IRQ 10 - Intel(R) 82801EB SMBus Controller - 24D3 - OK IRQ 13 - Arithmetic coprocessor - OK IRQ 14 - IDE main - OK IRQ 15 - IDE secondary - OK |

Internet attacks/intrusions killing/bombing my computer? eMule and/or ShareAza bugs? Often these things are hardware, mainly RAM, sometimes motherboard. Having two RAM modules often causes trouble. Try just one. Experiment with BIOS settings. Be sure to have latest BIOS and MB chipset and AGP driver. Sometimes systray/background program cause problems. Many programs like Kazza have malware/crapware bundled with them during install. Run Ad-Aware from: http://lavasoftusa.com and then Run msconfig and look at the Startup tab. Disable anything strange looking and experiment with disabling everything else until problem is fixed. Check http://rage3d.com forums for more advice. -Kent |

Thanx for your answers...
I checked Windows XP Error Logs and I found the following error message: Event ID = 108 Source = ati2mtag Type = Error Description = The driver ati2dvag for the display device \Device\Video0 got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates a problem with the device itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly. Please check with your hardware device vendor for any driver updates. Any advice, idea, where does that infinite loop com from? Video card? Video driver? DDR? "markOpolis" a écrit dans le message de ...
