Re: CTDs & BSODs with TrackIR 5 and windows 7 64-bit

<t>So after further troubleshooting and running into the error in other system-destroying games (Arma 2 OA on high settings) it looks like the memory was bad -OCZ 8GB ddr3 gold series. Prime95 would intermittently fail in the first 2 minutes on stock voltage/mhz/settings. Replaced it with some corsa...

Re: CTDs & BSODs with TrackIR 5 and windows 7 64-bit

Disabled 'AMD External Events Utility' in services. My guess is the Event Service writing hundreds of of those entries to the log every few seconds caused the system to become unstable. I'll report back to see if this helps. Edit: Could someone edit my second post and remove the unnecessary dxdiag o...

Re: CTDs & BSODs with TrackIR 5 and windows 7 64-bit

Ran driversweep and reinstalled the older catalyst 10.12 drivers, still getting same issue. After some testing, I've found that TrackIR, regardless of version, will 'hang' momentarily. Checking the Event Viewer shows 29 of the following amdkmdag events, all within 1 second (!!!): - System - Provider...

Re: CTDs & BSODs with TrackIR 5 and windows 7 64-bit

Chronological System/Application errors below. Looks like it's an ATI-related resource contention issue? I'll definitely be going with nVidia next time. This is ridiculous. I've noticed amdkmdap entries spamming my System Events log, I will need to disable this type of logging in the Registry. Tens ...

Re: CTDs & BSODs with TrackIR 5 and windows 7 64-bit

I didn't experience a BSOD in the classic sense, it was more of a 'oh shit gotta restart'. It definitely brought the computer to it's knees - the looping sound, lack of video, and total unresponsiveness requires a restart to recover. Upon restart and initial boot, Windows provides me with a prompt t...

CTDs & BSODs with TrackIR 5 and windows 7 64-bit

<t>This has been happening in DCS Black Shark and DCS A-10C. Latest OEM (non-CCC) ATI catalyst drivers with 64-bit A-10C, 32-bit Black Shark. In-game, if the reflectors are lost and re-sensed, it's as if the 3d output is redrawn. After it does this a number of time, it totally crashes the computer a...
