Omega 5.2 drivers giving me some problems...

Well firstly Hitman contracts and Chronicles of Riddick and a number of other games crashes after awhile. Do the 5.2 drivers give the same problem to you guys ??

and also if I decide to install new drivers , should I uninstall the 5.2 drivers fully ? ( As in going to safe mode uninstall then use driver cleaner and such ).

Need some help solving the crashes Thanks

it should be fine to just install the drivers, if it messes up then use drivercleaner.

it could be a number of things
you can try updating other drivers, check for an updated bios, check your psu voltages, run memtest, check for spyware, reinstall directx maybe, and a clean install of windows never hurts.

I'd say check the chipset drivers, especially AGP ones
