Problems with ATITOOL v 0.27beta1?

[JUGGERNUTZ]

i have been haveing a flicker/studder with my 3d and 2d graphics after about 30 minutes into playing and intense graphics or my MS screensaver aquarium! i have replaced all my hardwear piece by piece thinking that i my have OC something to far, but, i just replaced the last item( the processor ) and i still have the flicker/studder. the only thing that i changed was upgrading to the new atitool. i went from atitool v0.26 to v0.27 beta1. i tried to uninstall the program but i still have the problem. I NEED HELP!!

Need a bit more info...Please fill out your specs in the usercp so we can see what components you are speeking of. Have you tried uninstalling ATITool altogether and see if it flickers.....Had the same issue when I clocked my 1950Pro too far and if it wasnt on driver level OC.

[JUGGERNUTZ]

updated my sys specs. and yes i unistalled atitool completly and cleaned the reg. i also reset all default specs and settings. just so i can see if it was something that i did when i OCed

[sneekypeet]

I assume you tried reinstalling drivers for GFX also?

[JUGGERNUTZ]

GFX? do you mean the VGA card drivers? i uninstalled the nforce and the nvidia drivers. i also started haveing the flicker when i was running two geforce 7950 gt oc sli, which has a differant driver all together. so yes i tried that.

i also reformated my HD and reinstalled my OS

Sounds like you may want to address VGA manufacturer if there is a potential for RMA. If you have replaced everything but the card , common sense says its the card. As I see it, replace all parts , drivers, and diffrent versions of said drivers, Its the only thing left as I see it.

[JUGGERNUTZ]

well the first item i replaced was the VGA cards. i went from the two 7950 gt oc to my current 8800 gtx oc2. is it possable for the VGA card to be bad....maybe!

[JUGGERNUTZ]

but for two differant cards to have the same defect? thats is why i didnt think that it was the VGA card

[sneekypeet]

wow sorry i missed that part. So in fact the mobo is the only thing not been changed?

On a different note, a little birdie says you may need to just change the refresh rate of your monitor!

[JUGGERNUTZ]

LOL. ok. i first replaced the VGA cards. i then replaced the mem. i then replaced harddrive.then the MB, and now i just replaced the CPU.. and everything is running at default specs

[sneekypeet]

did u see EDIT in post 10?

[JUGGERNUTZ]

Hummm... i havent tried that yet... one tec i was talking to said that this might be a monitor issue,,,BUT.... i tested this problem on my old CRT and still there....but i am willing to try anything...
also where do i go to change the refresh rate on my monitor.

[JUGGERNUTZ]

ok i found it but i only have one rate and that is 60 hertz

[sneekypeet]

lcd or crt? if LCD go with 75Hz

[JUGGERNUTZ]

my current is LCD

[sneekypeet]

yea 75 HZ should do it...google your monitoer spec it may handle more, may not!

[JUGGERNUTZ]

ill check

[JUGGERNUTZ]

it says that it will handle 56-75 hertz, i just need to figure out how to adjust it

[sneekypeet]

just click on the 75 in Nvidia control panel...under screen refresh rate.

[JUGGERNUTZ]

it only shows 60 hertz

[sneekypeet]

wierd....mine shows both and really I run a not so great LCD.

you could try to run the optimizer!

[JUGGERNUTZ]

i figured it out . what rez r u running at, mine changes as the rez (size) goes down.i am at 1600 X 1200

[JUGGERNUTZ]

i would have to go down to 1280x1024 to get 75 hertz

[sneekypeet]

75HZ @ 1280x1024 try it

[JUGGERNUTZ]

i just dont like the picture quality. it looks fuzzy and large, but ill try it... so let me ask you this, my is it when i restart the computer, the filcker is gone, but only comes bqack after about 30 minutes?

[sneekypeet]

Heat??????

[JUGGERNUTZ]

so just as simple as 15 seconds of down time cools it down thqat quickly

[JUGGERNUTZ]

thanks ill give this a try. now that i am thinking about it, it makes sense. i did have the monitor on its max rez... you have been real helpfull.. night
