Games under x64?

[Morbidos]

Hi!
New on this forum

I just took the step and upgraded to x64 and i have a few problems...
no games run correctly, they start and work for about 5-10 min (different from game to game) and then out of the blue they jam up and give me a gray screen sometimes with vertical stripes on for a few seconds and then my computer reboots

Could this relate to me running win 7 x64 build 7600? (saveing up some cash to buy Ultimate released)

Sounds more like a GPU driver or GPU issue. Make sure you're running the latest graphics drivers, and check that your GPU isn't overheating.

If you go to your My computer properties, click "Advanced System Settings" on the left, then under Startup & Recovery click Settings.... Uncheck the box to automatically restart, and this will allow you to read the error details to see what specifically is causing the error.

after doing that i got to play a bit longer... got about 20 min... but then blakc screen and reboot... here's the error report that popped up afterwards:

I analyzed the dump file, but unfortunately it does not contain a list of the drivers that were at play when the error occurred.

Here's what did get analyzed, however:

This indicates that the error is most likely with your CPU or chipset driver. Update them both, and see what happens.

 

[Morbidos]

I'll give that a go... both the MB and the CPU are brand new but might be updates

 

[Morbidos]

Updated the Bios to the lates version, and installed the newest chipset drivers still not good... googled it and found several other people having problems with gaming and Win 7 x64...

 

[Morbidos]

will try nother game later and see if that might give a more detailed error msg

 

[Thrax]

There is nothing inherently wrong with x64. If there are issues, it's purely a matter of drivers. Hopefully we can find which one it is, but I want to make sure the blame is being placed on the right culprit, and that isn't Windows 7 x64.

good to hear, as I infact ar planning on buying Win 7 as my first bought OS (never you mind where i got the others) cause it's so genious!

 

[Morbidos]

I'we posted my problem on AMD's forum and have had a break throug... apparently AMD cpu's dont like tri channel Ram... i'll try ripping out one chip later and give it a go

 

[Thrax]

AMD CPUs don't even use tri-channel RAM. Memory should be installed in groups of 2 or 4.

 

[supercalle]

Then I won't buy AMD, cause I'm going to go for tri-channel RAM!
sorry, I'm planning on buying a new computer so I love to pick up some tips here and there

 

[Morbidos]

can annyone help me out here I'm going throug the QVL again, think I'll get some new ram... help me choose here wich is the better choise for my system?

Kingston HyperX DDR3-1600 4 GB (2x2GB) (KHX12800D3K2/4G)
OCZ TECH Platinum 3GB Kit 3x1GB DDR3 PC3-12800 (OCZ3P1600LV3GK)
G.Skill DDR3 PC3-12800 6 GB (3 x 2 GB) (F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ)

This is my pick from the QVL asus gave me the rest of the list is just supplyers i have never heard of...

QVL:

You wanna buy mine? (RAM that is)

 

[Thrax]

QVL lists are BS. All those lists mean is that a memory company paid AMD to be on the list. The same is true for Intel's QVL list.

Buy a 2x2GB kit of PC3-1600, and it should work fine.

Everyone note: Dual vs. tri-channel RAM is pretty much irrelevant, because nothing that can be done on a system can even touch the bandwidth offered by these memory technologies using DDR3.

Out of the 3 listed above (page 1) wich one would you go for? I'we had Kingston before and I don't have annything bad to say, but I'm hearing good things about both OCZ and G.SKILL so I dont know wich to choose...

 

[Morbidos]

Ok after some searching around and talking to different people I'we come up with this ram as beeing my next:

Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600MHz 4GB CL8 BEMP

Loving the BEMP spec

 

[Kougar]

Corsair makes pretty solid, compatible stuff. Ya should be happy with it.

The drunks game list on here are all games that I have tested on both 64bit and 32bit with W7. please state the mobo and processor you are trying to use along with what games you have tried and hwo did you install them.. you are having a hardware issue not a os issue the blue screen is ram either your ram sticks or your vidcard.


I take your word but some people are trying to run games that even xp could barley run with out a hitch. I do know some games also have patches out to make them W7 capabille. try reachering the games forums in order to see what patches are aviable as a alternitive download. and some games liek 50k slots and knock off flash games like that might not work I wouldnt knwo for I havent tried them on my machines. I play a lot of main stream games. diablo wow bf series cod series cs css etc and havent had no problems plus I play and beta test a lot of MMO free to play and pay to play so far i have ran in to about 3 games out of about 50 I have tried with out no problems.



Please list your hardware and version fo the hardware and I will try to get to the bottem of this..... W7 for me has beene a dream of os for me out of the windows line.
