strange radeon 7850 problem help!!!

[hossdaddy]

ok guys my rig is in my sig. When I start up my machine and load up mw3 to play multiplayer its buttah smooth. If I leave for a whilesay 1 hour or more and come back and try to play its all chuggy/and sluggish. If I retsrat the machine its fine.

Thoughts? I am running 12.4 drivers and 12.3 did the same thing for me.

TIA!

Are you talking about if you leave it idiling in game or just on the desktop? Only thing i can think of is either corrupted drivers or maybe something to do with the card itself?

[hossdaddy]

I mean after I play I shut it down. Come back some time later and re-launch the game and its chuggy.

Check the card's speeds -- sounds like it's dropping into an idle state and not properly detecting the re-launch of the game.

[hossdaddy]

hmm ok. If it is how would I fix that?

[BigPhatPaulie]

Either try a different driver (12.2? if it supports that card) or it may be the cards bios needs updating? do you know if any other people out there with your card are having the same issue?

[hossdaddy]

not yet. I will look up and see if there is a gpu bios update for it.

Update: I am on the asus.com website and I cannot download anything for the card because when I go to the download section for my card it says select os, I click on the down arrow to select and there is nothing to select. =( Can anyone else help?

Try a different browser..

[BigPhatPaulie]

I just checked it myself and there are not options yet for downloads bios wise. Is there anyway you can test it in another machine or try a replacement? Just wondering if its isolated to your card (it happens sometimes :/) or if its software

[hossdaddy]

treid a diff browser and no luck. I am actually in touch with Asus support via e-mail for another gpu issue and have asked my contact to help me with this as well. I will post a reply when I get it.

I do have a backup system but its not really all together at the moment.
