Windows 10: Driver reset problems.

[Andrew][P] · Jan 21, 2019

Hello all, recently I started get driver errors, all starting after a single memory overload crash. I deleted some stuff then it worked for another full day then got much worse. (It starting giving me windows full of source code when I opened some apps) So i just decided to reset drives because I didn't have anything important on the computer. It started by sitting at 95g of reinstalling windows, and I fixed that off this forum, but now, in the sign in screen, its acting up again. Its "Administrator" account but when I click the "sign in" button, it says "Your account has been disabled. Please see your system administrator.". The problem with this is that I dont have a system admin that I know of. I'm not able to do much from the screen I'm currently on other ease of access and power. Let me know of anything that I can do to fix this. Thanks in advance!

:)

Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...

That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.

ATI Radeon HD 6950 - FPS Problems

I have a problem with my own non-refernce 6950 that has it only go to 500 MHz under 3D load. It sounds like you are having a similar problem. I am currently working with the card maker going through basic troubleshooting for this issue, and perhaps following the same steps will benefit you as well.

First, please do not use and third party tools to attempt clocking the card just yet.

IF you have the time, and an extra harddrive, I suggst you do a fresh OS install, and try installing using the Catalyst 11.12 driver. To monitor temperatures and clockspeed, you can use GPU-Z. At the very bottom of the monitor tab in GPU-Z is a check-box to have it update while in the backgroud, make sure this is checked, and load up 3DMark 11 or something and let it run.

When it exits, you can right-click the clock and temperature listings, and select the option to show the highest reading. If the clock does not scale past 750 MHz, your problem is like mine, and I suggest you contact the card maker to get some support on this. If it works, we can come to the conclusion that your problem is driver-related, and then deal with that. You've already eliminated temps, it seems, so let's look elsewhere for the problem.

The fresh OS install will help ensure it's not issues like a virus or other conflicting software. I think you must take this step now.

500mhz under 3d? wow that is an strange problem. and in 2d does it goes to 250?

Anyway I would suggest doing this if not tried: driver resets to default *Smile this solve a few problem for me in the past.
