Hi guys, recently built a new rig and only just got round to gaming with it. Rig as follows:
Antec 300
AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition 3.2GHz - all cores unlocked
Asus M4A88T-M 880G
Corsair Vengeance 4GB DDR3 1600Mhz
Asus HD 6770 1GB GDDR5
Cit 700w

Ran furmark, ATI tool etc etc - cpu running high 40's underload and gpu peaking at 71.
When i first built it i played GTA SanAndreas for about 3/4 hours with no problems. Recently bought Assassins creed: brotherhood and Sonic genarations, Just installed brotherhood and its glitching after 30 seconds. Certain details and lighting flickering, Ezio turns invisible when you stand still and crashed soon as i got to the first set of guards. Sonic generations went through the menu's fine, but soon as it came to play it crashs and you end up back at the desktop.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
Have you installed all drivers correctly and made sure theyre updated to latest?,

What resolution are you playing on?

Make sure the game is also fully patched and also that dx is up to date.

What ati drivers are you running? You didnt use the ones on disk did you?
 
I think there installed correctly. If there not the latest, do i just remove olds and install new ones from the asus website?
My old monitor used to only go upto 1024 x 768, until yesterday when i bought a new one. Now at 1600 x 900 and still the same.
How do i patch it? where do i look? directX?
Ati drivers, same drivers you were talking about in your first question? (gpu ones?) I installed the drivers that were on the disc.
 
download the drivers from the site for the GPU, update the games if possible and also download and reinstall directX.
also try a lower resolution maybe this will help a bit
 
The asus website says there's only a Bios update for cards with a certain P/N number to which mine doesnt fit. I take it the bios driver on the cd is the only one? There's a display driver update but i think thats the same one thats on the cd.
Think it's worth a go at clearing all the Ati drivers and starting again? although i cant find how to uninstall DirectX.
 
well download the display driver update just in case, also download the bios update, just for good measure. but yeah try to download and reinstall all ATI drivers
 
just uninstalling all Ati stuff, should i install the drivers on the cd first then go for the updated display driver etc? Should i install the update Bios? even though its not "for" my card?
 
well the BIOS update i would download, might come in handy if you want to overclock maybe some more features are added etc.

as for the ATI drivers, you should be able to uninstall and install the new ones without the CD, not a 100% sure
 
Heya mate sorry i didnt get back to you i went bed :p

1)Download this programme, http://www.guru3d.com/category/driversweeper/ Install it, but dont use it yet. Leave it on your desktop, Now would be a good time to go to the ATI website and download drivers for your gpu, http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx pick your gpu from the lists. but dont use them yet.

2)Ok, so uninstall your old drivers completely dont use the cd. I think it asks you to restart. so obviously restart. (control panel, uninstall...all the usual jazz)

3) Now what i do because im lazy is hold the power button to get my pc to start in safe mode, you may want to do otherwise to get it into safe mode. Run driver sweeper, Click analyse on the driver sweeper programme after checking the boxes for anything ati related. Run the programme and dont do anything else. Wait until it finishes and it should ask you to restart, do this.

4) restart into normal mode, reinstall your new drivers....happy days.



Other peoples methods vary for installing new drivers, this is what i do. I would advise you back up your stuff. Nothing has ever gone wrong for me but with computers nothing can be certain.



EDIT: Dont install drivers from the asus site, ati will have the most latest up to date ones and it doesnt matter what the make is of your card. Im not one to mess with stuff i dont know about so i would advise leaving the bios alone too.

Followed the steps above, but no change. How do i tell if i've got DirectX 11 and if not where can i download it? Cant find anywhere for the life of me.
Although when i lauched Driver Sweeper in safe mode it did find NVidia display drivers and intel chipset drivers. I take it the NVidia drivers are for the onboard chipset, but where are the intel chipset drivers from?
Would having these on cause a problem?
 
Intel chipset drivers are for onboard stuff i think

Have you ever had an nvidia gpu, because the only thing it should find is physx but thats fine.

As for your problems, have you checked to make sure all games are upto date.

And to find dx, type in run "dxdiag" without quotes. it will tell you what version but not what build, so it may still need updating.
 
onboard - "Integrated ATI Radeon™ HD 4250 GPU"
I had a geforce 8400gs on my build, but i did a clean install when i build it.
Where do i check for updates?
it says i have DirectX 9, would that affect playing brotherhood and sonic?
 
It may as the 6770 is a dx11 capable card, so it should say dx 11

Download that http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=35 and run it, that will install the latest dx version.

what did it have on dxdiag, could you see the hd 4250? if you could this means your 6770 isnt the primary display adapter.

In which case all you should have to is set it up in your bios. Usually somehting along the lines of, primary something something, pcie or vga onboard. Its usually pretty self explanatory. Just change boot priority to the pcie gpu rather than onboard.
