GLQrack locking up

[davemiester]

I got a new video card and on a new comp. Now everytime I play qrack which i set 1920x1080 on resolution which the new card can handle. it will lock up after 5 minutes of play the screen will freeze and the noise will shutter and keep repeating itself like a broken record. Does anybody know the solution to this problem. Windows locks up and everything I can't cntrl+alt+delete or anything.

Some vendors have less support for openGL. Though, there could be something coded in a way that ATI doesnt like too.

no clue this happened to me in full screen mode and its a radeon hd 6950 2 gb ddr 5

Does this only happen in fullscreen modes or does it also happen in windowed modes?

guy walks into a dr. office. "i'm sick, fix it."

just qrack i can run dp and proquake just fine for some reason qrack keeps locking up

What version of Qrack? What kinda gfx card?

Well, then its a qrack issue, blame the programer. Keep your fingers away from drugs *lol*

Is it just qrack or proquake, DP, etc

[davemiester]

ok I ran it for 45 minutes no lockup. updated video card drivers, game still locking up any suggestions? I know r00k may know something bout this hes real good with technical stuff

[davemiester]

ohhh return it lol i like the card too much qrack will lockup but nothing else does just qrack

[davemiester]

RMA'd? Haha whats that and did that fix ur issue i been running prime95 for almost 30 min and no lockup passing all tests

Yeah d0nger might be the vid card. I saw about the same thing happen when I first got a new ATI card in 2010, a newer game like Half life two I could play all day but Quake would lock up after a few mins and start repeating the last sound before it froze up on a sweet infinite loop. RMA'd the card - no problems since.

Fok, you'll still win all the time.

Prime95 pushes your CPU and Ram up to 100%, so it's just fine for testing them both. If your system did not lock up within 15 minutes or so then it must be something other. Maybe a driver issue...

[davemiester]

could it be the voltage its running in the BIOS? im gonna let prime95 sit for an hr tho first
