AMD Radeon Crash

[Ritalingamer]

About half of the time when I load into a game, Naval Action goes blank and I get this error message from my system tray:

"Display driver AMD driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered."

 

I just installed a new graphics card - AMD Radeon 6990 - last night and I got all the latest drivers.

 

I run the game on Medium settings, windowed, 1600x900.

 

What can I do to fix this? What additional information do you need?

 

Thanks.

Two questions:

• What card did you previously own? 
• Did you overclock your GPU and/or your CPU?

Possible solution: Try disabling Crossfire for Naval Action through the Catalyst Control Panel / 3D Application Settings section.

1) I previously owned an elderly card that could not run Naval Action at all - it would not run DirectX 11.

2) Neither my GPU nor CPU are overclocked.

 

Where would I find the Catalyst Control Panel or 3D applications Settings?

 

Thanks.

Did you read the OP, he is running the latest drivers.

 

Ritalin, the CCC is the control panel for AMD GPU's, unless you manually unchecked the box it will be installed on your system. Considering your knowledge of this appears to be limited why did you get a complex card such as the 6990 instead of a more modern single GPU? Unless you are interested in tweaking profiles for every game it is not a smart purchase.

Monitor your temperatures.

A friend of mine overlooked that issue on his card and was wondering why his games eventually crashed.

It turne out the fans would not spin up faster.

That card uses a MASSIVE amount of power. What model of power supply do you have?
