i keep crashing in COD4 but it plays other games just fine? on cats 8.5 cards are @ stable clocks and i crash with xfire enabled or disabled.... funny thing is its acting like the cards are overheating i can play for a while then it locks, but i ran riva and recorded temps its not breaking 60C on either card (fans @ 80%) nothing else has any instability i checked my ram and its just fine running 800 5-5-5-15 2.0v and just to be sure i bumped it and my NB/HTT volts up ram @2.1v NB @1.25v HTT 1.3v and PCI-e @1.325v anyone see any issues?


i think it might be my 5v rail it reading @ 4.66v in MSI DC center but it should be just fine considering i'm running dual PSUs

here is what MS says it is sou sounds like driver issue

Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078)

and how they say to fix it..

Follow these steps to solve the problem with a video device driver

You received this message because a device driver installed on your computer caused Windows to stop unexpectedly. This type of error is referred to as a "stop error." A stop error requires you to restart your computer.

Solution

There are two options you can use to try to fix the problem. If the first option doesn't work, then try the second.

Option 1: Install the most current device driver for your video card

*

Go online to check for an updated version of a video device driver on the Microsoft Update website:

Click to go to the Windows Update website

*

If there are no updated drivers listed on Microsoft Update, we recommend you contact the manufacturer of the video card for additional support. Let them know that you received an error for a video device driver and ask if product updates are available.
*

If there are no updated drivers on Microsoft Update and you don't know the name of the video card manufacturer, we recommend you contact your computer manufacturer for additional information and support.

How do I find my computer manufacturer (OEM)?

You can find the name of your computer manufacturer (also known as the original equipment manufacturer or OEM) by following these steps:
o Click Start, click Run, type msinfo32, and then click OK. Your computer manufacturer is listed in the right pane of the System Information window.

Option 2: Manually decrease Hardware Acceleration for your video adapter

I would never download a video driver from Winows update. Have you provided ATi/AMD with any feedback yet?

[cdawall]

and now i'm getting worried here is the new error i'm getting

Corrupted error report

Unfortunately, the error report you submitted is corrupted and cannot be analyzed. Corrupted error reports are rare. They can be caused by hardware or software problems, and they usually indicate a serious problem with your computer.

Troubleshooting

Scenario 1: Click here if this is the first corrupted error report for this computer

* Note any programs you have recently added your computer.

To check for recently added programs:

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs.

2. In the Sort by drop-down box, select Date Last Used, and then select Show updates.

3. The Last Used On date typically shows when you installed a program. If you installed an update to a program, you will see an Installed on date.

* Note any hardware you have recently added to your computer, including random access memory (RAM), video cards, sound cards, or hard drives.
* Make sure that you have a good backup copy of your files. To make a backup of your files, you can use the Backup or Restore Wizard.

To start the Backup or Restore Wizard:

1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Backup.

2. Follow the wizard to back up your files.

Scenario 2: Click here if the corrupted error reports are persistent on this computer

* Note any changes made to your computer, including both hardware devices and software programs, that preceded the onset of crashes and persistent error reports.

To check for recently added programs:

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs.

2. In the Sort by drop-down box, select Date Last Used, and then select Show updates.

3. The Last Used On date typically shows when you installed a program. If you installed an update to a program, you will see an Installed on date.

* Run any diagnostic tests supplied by the hardware manufacturer to verify that recently added hardware devices are operating properly. This is especially important if you recently added or changed random access memory (RAM) in your system. New or changed memory should also be tested with the Windows memory diagnostic test after using the manufacturer's test.
* If there are recent software changes to your computer, you can use System Restore to restore your computer's system files to an earlier point in time. This provides a way to undo system changes to your computer without affecting your personal files, such as e-mail, documents, or photos.

To run the System Restore wizard:

1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Restore.
2. Follow the directions in the wizard.

Are those BBA reference cards, CD? Try reverting all the way back to 8.2's and do a driver clean. See what happens. Maybe even try the cards in single and see what you come up with.

[cdawall]

its just COD4 with issues.....

[JrRacinFan]

Ok and do you play the game at a different res or higher settings than most of your other games? With AA/AF?

i play @ 16x/4x but other than that no

thats odd? I was having problems with cod4 but a fresh install and cat 8.6 worked. but now turok does it. sounds like a windows/driver issue.

[JrRacinFan]

All I know is this (which may not be much information), I cannot use any other drivers than HIS's 8.4's, everything/anything else gives me vpu recovers, oh and I cannot clock my card higher than 850/1200 or else I get vpu recovers. :ohwell: Kinda stinx ....

[cdawall]

get on aim jr ;)


i swear if i had to base my purchases off drivers alone ATi could burn in hell...

i should have server 08 pretty soon so that will fix the issues maybe anyways lol
