SW2008 PC Crashing
SW2008 PC Crashing
(OP)
Hi,
Since upgrading to SW2008 my PC is crashing on average twice a week. The error code on the resulting blue screen indicates that the problem lies with the ATI graphics driver.
After this happened the first time I immediately updated the relevant graphics driver from the SW web site, however this has not solved the problem.
Graphics Card: ATI FireGL V7200
SW Version: 2008 SP2.1
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried running the computer in Software OpenGL mode?

Try running “Use Software OpenGL” under System Options, performance.

Also, before updating to the relevant driver, did you uninstall the old driver? Another thing to consider:
If you're running a Dell or HP computer, look under that in the "manufacturer" list for video cards. Sometimes the drivers are different due to hardware makeup.

Windows was crashing and restarting with simple things like dragging dimensions.
