3dMark03 Crashing

[Schpeedy]

So with 03 soon as i run the the first game test it fucks up and gives me one of those annoying windows message asking me to send a report... anyone got any ideas? used to work before i flashed my video card but not any more.

hmmm overheating? try the other games and see if it also crashes, also, check 2005 as well..

[Schpeedy]

same with 05 and it cant really be an overheating problem it didn't happen with my old cooler... now i have the silencer 3... lol

Try other drivers? (use a drivercleaner first)

Fresh windows installation to exclude software problems?

[ReconCX]

i dunno.. try a few graphic intensive games, like doom3 or such. set them to high setting, doesn't matter if you get sucky fps.. we'll just experiment full load on the GPU.. if it crashes... well, it might be overheating...

[Schpeedy]

lol it never crashes all games run fine its really strange, but i intend to do a fresh install of windows soon... hope that will fix it.

[Schpeedy]

okay so a format fixed it... thanks to all who helped. New mobo + cooler = 500 more marks in 3dmark03
