David Grogan Gallente The Motley Crew	Posted - 2009.03.16 03:38:00 - [1] Originally by: Haraldhardrade Originally by: Linko22 Did you have black screen, monitor off, unfreeze in loop? No sir. The screen just freeze along with the sound. Alt+cntrl+del does not work so I must pretty much pull the plug on my computer. sadly im getting this too SIG: if my message has spelling errors its cos i fail at typing properly :P
David Grogan Gallente The Motley Crew	Posted - 2009.03.16 18:18:00 - [2] i dont think it is a graphics card issue for me because i can play counter strike source with full details no problem and no lock ups gpu gets higher than it does in eve its something else in client thats causing errors SIG: if my message has spelling errors its cos i fail at typing properly :P
David Grogan Gallente The Motley Crew	Posted - 2009.03.16 19:12:00 - [3] Edited by: David Grogan on 16/03/2009 19:12:17 quick question how many people getting lock ups have 2 graphics cards? i have 2 gpus in hybrid sli mode SIG: if my message has spelling errors its cos i fail at typing properly :P
David Grogan Gallente The Motley Crew	Posted - 2009.03.16 19:25:00 - [4] Edited by: David Grogan on 16/03/2009 19:32:12 i believe the issue lies with using 2 gpus if i set eve to run on my (default) 8300 gpu it runs fine but if i set it to run on 8500gt card gpu it locks up the 8300 gpu is passive cooled and temps rarely passed 55 degrees c under load the 8500gt is actively cooled by fan and temps rarely go under 60 degrees c and climb to 75 degrees under load before it crashes while playing eve on lowest possible settings while playing counterstrike source set on full detail the temps reach 82 degrees c but stablises there and no lock ups occur. im thinking new eve client doesnt like sli mode too well and this is the area in which the devs need to look at to find the cause.

David Grogan Gallente The Motley Crew	Posted - 2009.03.16 23:16:00 - [5] guys since i disabled my physx component in my nvidia drivers i seem to have stablilised my system while playing eve.... even avg gpu temps have gone down slightly to disable your physx bit of the drivers goto start > programs > nvidia corp > physx properties and set it to disabled see if that helps with stability SIG: if my message has spelling errors its cos i fail at typing properly :P
David Grogan Gallente The Motley Crew	Posted - 2009.03.17 18:36:00 - [6] to all those running nvidia sli based motherboards that are getting lock ups yesterday nvidia released new chipset drivers dated 16 march 2009 i installed it today and so far i have not crashed yet this seems to be far more stable then previous chipset drivers ive ben up for over 2hrs now and no crash yet and im running 2 clients (1 per gpu) with no issues SIG: if my message has spelling errors its cos i fail at typing properly :P
David Grogan Gallente The Motley Crew	Posted - 2009.03.17 19:10:00 - [7] Edited by: David Grogan on 17/03/2009 19:11:19 what motherboard are u using? if its an nvidia chipset update to the nforce drivers released yesterday im running 2 ac and since the new driver i have not crashed SIG: if my message has spelling errors its cos i fail at typing properly :P
David Grogan Gallente The Motley Crew	Posted - 2009.03.17 19:13:00 - [8] i got logfile server running and i notice alot of errors relating to the new billbaords showing up.... it doesnt seem to cause any signicant issues but i felt it was worth mentioning SIG: if my message has spelling errors its cos i fail at typing properly :P
David Grogan Gallente The Motley Crew	Posted - 2009.03.17 20:29:00 - [9] almost 5hrs now still running with 2 ac on medium shader high texture no crashes since new nvidia chipset (nforce 750a sli driver package) released yesterday march 16th 2009. they release new chipset drivers for many of the 7 series 8 series and 9 series chipsets if u get lockups i suggest you try this SIG: if my message has spelling errors its cos i fail at typing properly :P
David Grogan Gallente The Motley Crew	Posted - 2009.03.17 22:09:00 - [10] Originally by: Hiro Apropos Anatal Klep That was the most succinct posts on Video Card usage I have ever read, and I thank you for increasing my knowledge of the hardware. Kudos. yer he does tend to troll on about it alot SIG: if my message has spelling errors its cos i fail at typing properly :P

David Grogan Gallente The Motley Crew	Posted - 2009.03.17 22:10:00 - [11] Edited by: David Grogan on 17/03/2009 22:11:18 7 hrs since chipset driver update and still no crash running 2 ac from 1 pc both at medium shader - high textures (15 mins per crash pre driver update running 1 ac at low shader low textures) SIG: if my message has spelling errors its cos i fail at typing properly :P
David Grogan Gallente The Motley Crew	Posted - 2009.03.17 22:14:00 - [12] Edited by: David Grogan on 17/03/2009 22:15:02 nvidia based pc lockups is due to 2 things in my opinion 1. physX doesnt work right --- bad driver 2. chipset drivers older than 16 march 2009 also has issues with eve solution for me and i hope many of ye is disable physX and update the mobo chipset drivers to the new ones nvidia released yesterday march 16th 2009... no more heating issues no more crashes SIG: if my message has spelling errors its cos i fail at typing properly :P
David Grogan Gallente The Motley Crew	Posted - 2009.03.17 23:29:00 - [13] coming up on 8hrs non stop without a crash defo chipset drivers is the problem --- get nvidia's newest "nforce chipset drivers" if u get lockups SIG: if my message has spelling errors its cos i fail at typing properly :P
David Grogan Gallente The Motley Crew	Posted - 2009.03.17 23:35:00 - [14] Originally by: Danivon Edited by: Danivon on 17/03/2009 23:32:14 Eve killed an 8800GTS here. I know EXACTLY why it killed the card as well. Its a combination of interval immediate and anti-aliasing in-station. Turn either one off and listen to the fan spin slower. I replaced the 8800GTS with a Radeon 4870 and the fan runs at full speed in station with interval immediate and AA on - interval one and AA turned off and you can barely hear the fan. If you look at some of the station environments they are largely composed of lots and lots of edges (minnie ones especially) and ALL of those edges are quite likely being anti-aliased by your card. Of course the station (and most of the rest of Eve) looks rubbish without AA on but that's a different story. HDR doesn't compensate and personally I'd rather have AA than shiny reflections and really bright lighting. to any ccp programmer reading this.............have the client auto choose interval one by default.............let player decide if the wanna risk a higher setting SIG: if my message has spelling errors its cos i fail at typing properly :P
David Grogan Gallente The Motley Crew	Posted - 2009.03.18 00:39:00 - [15] 9hrs running with no crash defo new drivers fixed it i now can run 3 ac at medium shader high texture from 1 pc SIG: if my message has spelling errors its cos i fail at typing properly :P
David Grogan Gallente The Motley Crew	Posted - 2009.03.18 03:04:00 - [16] Originally by: joodner For all thoses that are crashing or worried about overheating ... Have you run a system stress test and monitored all temps ? e.g run Prime on all Cores and a GPU Benchmark for 2-3 hours while watching all system temps ? Run MEMTEST ? Now if your getting Blue screens, follow up on the errors or post the exact error code here. I will bet that 95%+ of all Blue screens will be hardware faults or crap drivers loaded somewhere (not the main drivers norm, but a crappy chipset / printer/scanner etc that was installed ages ago and fogotten about). If your really worried about killing any compnent in your PC , then get pro active about it, start monitoring all temps and STRESS TEST THE SYSTEM outside of EVE. Double check all fans in the case are working / cleaned of dust and gunk. Are all the fans operating the correct way ? (fronts should pull in clean air from outside. Back and top fans should be pushing hot air from inside out). Without more information, its hard to track down and resolve any issue. So if you crash/lockup/bluescreen... What make / model /driver version GPU ? What Make / Model CPU ? What is GPU Temp IDLE ? What is CPU Temp IDLE ? What was Max GPU Temp in EVE before Crash ? What was Max CPU Temp in EVE before Crash ? What was MAX GPU Temp when Stress Testing ? What was MAX CPU Temp when Stress Testing ? If bluescreen, what is the error code ? sadly i never got bluescreens i just got freeze n sound loop until reboot.......... the new nvidia chipset and i stress chipset not graphics card, drivers work for me SIG: if my message has spelling errors its cos i fail at typing properly :P
