So i've bought a new computer with the following specs:
evga x58 sli
i7 920
12 gig ram
2 xfx radeon HD 4890s
1.5 TB hdd
windows 7 profession 64bit
i've run into numerous problems, maybe some of you can assist me in figuring out what to do.
1. Every couple of restarts, my computer will go to a BSOD, say I have a display driver issue. I'll try to boot into safe mode, reinstall the drivers then on reboot, i either get the BSOD again or i get to the windows start up page and it freezes. To get around that, i've done 5 clean installs of Windows 7 and it's very very annoying. I have yet to experience it on this install but who knows.
2. I am running the newest Cat drivers (9.11). My games are running terribly. In particular, Modern Warfare 2. I turn it on, its fine at the menus, the second it gets into rendering in game graphics the graphics card (i think the primary display one) begins to click and then slows down and clicks some more, but slower. Moving my mouse over the menu is jumpy and laggy. The second I move my view to the sky where it doesn't need to render much, the video card clicking speeds up incredibly fast but my menus run flawlessly. I've reinstalled the game twice now, the drivers thrice and to no avail.
3. The video card sees so heavy activity when I am just surfing the internet. When I scroll
up and down 5 times back and forth, the fan speed increases and my activity in the ATI overdrive panel soars to 97%....
Does any one know whats wrong? I'm ready to sell these video cards and go to nvidia.
