Help pc shift keeps crashes

[paulno1boss]

Help wanted.

No matter what I put the graphics settings on max out or low, it keeps crashing on my pc. I have bfg nvidia geforce 9600 gt oc 512mb, 4gb ram, intel core 2 q8200 @ 2.33hz and Windows 7 Pro. Any ideas what settings I need to set the graphics too?

Thanks.

Paul.

Could it be the graphic card overheating?????????????????

Could be, download realtemp and try.
Clean out your case+all fans and set fan rpm higher.

It's gets to 98c. Isn't that ok?

[honke]

yours is to hot. Highest Factory Standards are 105 c.


but myn is 70 c and if iam gaming 87 c so still time for a cleaning.

[xturbo]

no max 105 C

but myn is 70 c and if iam gaming 87 c so still time for a cleaning.

For a 9600GT??? When I had it, my max temp was around 67~75C full when gaming, not beyond that, even with the card a little bit overclocked. I had the MSI 9600GT OC version and it never gave me problems or crashes.

In my opinion it could be your OS. Did you have any crash or problem with other games?

Nothing works. So going to get a friend to re-seat the graphics card and see if that helps. I did have this with shift only when drfting. I found that I'm getting this Display Driver Nvidia Windows Kernel Mode Driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered, any ideas why?

[paulno1boss]

Here the update my graphic card is factory overclock, so when I set it to the origanal clock the game played ok until it locked up and the screen went funny colours. So could having a overclock card be the problem?

[honke]

no its a driver problem.

instal GeForce/ION Driver v270.61 don't know wath Operating System you got 32bit are 64bit,
but select you system and reinstal drivers. http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

9600GT and this game = PAIN to the eyes.

Hell I would run it on my 4890 (or my incoming 6990) but my PSU just crapped itself so waiting for it's replacement at the moment

I've got a 9600GT in at the moment as it doesn't draw as much power as the 4890 which results in no crashes due to power req's. Just gotta live with it for a week...

Solved it. Turned the shader clock down from 1700mhz to 1625mhz, runs perfect now.
