Thirdup 0 Posted October 24, 2009 Not going all that well..... OS install gave no real issues. Diamond HD 5870 installed fine (6.1 Catalyst). ArmA2 installed (Nexway) and patched to 1.04. First several launches seemed to go fine. Did a few test flights around the island. Looked great. Then not sure what happened. Hard lockup at every launch now (usually in the menu screens but sometimes I can get to a mission long enough to load in as a player then hard lockup). I've reset everything to default and issue persists. Very frustrating in that it worked just long enogh to tease me...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leon86 13 Posted October 25, 2009 Do other games work? Maybe your PSU isn't up to the job, try running atitool artifact scanning or occt gpu test or something. see if it locks up with that too. If they also crash try lowering your gpu clockspeed (a LOT) with atitool or catalyst thingy. If it works then Ãt probably isn't a driver issue but really your psu.

wooly-back-jack 10 Posted October 26, 2009 hey eth, I've been wondering when I would see you again to show off (sorry for slight hijacking but I have always been so far behind I've not been able to do that before hehe) right back on track now, carry on!

Thirdup 0 Posted October 26, 2009 Well, I'm back up and running good. Went back thru my bios settings one at a time and everything is stable now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wooly-back-jack 10 Posted October 26, 2009 i've not really fiddled with bios yet other than doing the stuff as I was building/setting up. that was probably it, especially if you had an overclock on the go. Arma2 can be funny like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
