BSOD with 9600 Pro and latest Omega drivers :(

4Eyes · Oct 30, 2003, 09:04 PM

Folks,

I'm new to these forums as well as Radeon cards and Omega drivers, but not pc's so please take it easy.

I installed the drivers last night on XP Pro only to be met by an ugly BSOD. Safe mode wouldn't start either... simply listed a bunch of drivers and stopped. I had to start in VGA mode and re-install old drivers that came with the card to get going again.

OmegaDude... can you or somebody else please advise. BTW... I read many pages here before posting.

Ta muchly.

first thing would be your system spec's

and welcome to DH.....you will find help here usually fairly quickly

I highly recommend you give Driver Cleaner a try to clean up all your old drivers....

Chaos,

Thanks for the reply and welcome. I've seen your 'happy smiling' face on many posts here.

My system is P4 2.4GHz, 512MB ram, Gigabyte 8SQ800 Ultra mobo (yeah, I know... kinda unusal), tonsa disk space etc.

I'd be a little surprised if there's odd drivers hanging around but I'll give it a go. Also have NAV (disabled during game play of course) and PestPatrol running.

just curious if Driver Cleaner helped at all with your card. What company makes your 9600 Pro ? When you installed Omega's drivers which option did you select during the install process?
