Hello all, I am glad I came across this forum as I am having some issues with my new rig that has windows 7 premium on it.
My system specs are:
Mobo: Gigabyte EP45-ud3r
4 sticks @ 8 GB Gskill RAM
Intel Q 9550 @ 2.83 ghz (Stock, no OC'ing)
Nvidia GeForce GTX 275
Pioneer Dvd\cd drive
500 GB WD Sata Hard drive w\ 386 GB free
Corsair 650W Modular PS
Antec 900 CaseWin 7 Pro 64 bit
The problems I am having are these....
The rig is just for gaming and I have maybe 4 hrs total time on the system. I like racing games and regulary play NASCAR 2003 by Papyrus (Sierra), Rfactor, Race 07, Gt Legends and just purchased and installed Dirt 2 a couple of days ago.
I have not had any problems with getting the games to install, just some freezing\lockup issues while playing Race 07, and NASCAR.
The Dirt 2 game loaded and goes to the Amd splash screen, the intel splash screen, a couple more follow after those and when the guy starts telling you "Here's your car" the game locks up right after that or I get a BSOD. This problem is if i choose the game option to "Not sign in" and just try to play offline.
If I choose to "register\sign in" with the Windows Live games service, it will give the option to sign in and say it needs to open Internet Explore proceed, I say yes, then it will take me to the desktop and say IE stopped working.
I found out there is a patch for Dirt 2 and when I install it and then double clk the dirt 2.exe the cd symbol spins a couple times but the game never launches.
I tried compatibility mode for Dirt 2 and always the same results as mentioned above.
I have tried 3 different Nvidia drivers, the most recent being the new beta drivers with the same result.
I went to Gigabytes site and dl'd the latest network adapter, raid controller, and hi def audio driver. I did this because driver agent told me these were the ones that were older)
At one point Win 7's built in hardware troubleshooter asks to run tests so I did and it found no hardware problems (i think it was mainly a RAM test it ran but said all was well.
I have never updated a bios on any of my mobos (have not had the need to) and I was saving this as a last resort for this mobo because reading some posts it looks like you can screw things up bad if done wrong and I do not have a floppy drive but I am assuming a flash drive would work too.
The Antec case has plenty ofair flow and I am confident there are no heat issues. I have done all the Win 7 updates. I use Avg free 9.0 but in the event viewer section I think i have seen some warnings with a file that began with avg so that could be causing some problems but it is up to date and a frsh scan was done Monday as well as a clean scan with Malwarebytes.
Okay I think that is everything I have tried to fix things. If someone can look at the dump file and tell me what direction I should go next I would appreciate it very much.
Regards, Bryan
