| 307695 | 2004-12-26 10:13:00 | I was just messing about with AtiTool today, when something horrible happened. I have a GeCube 9600SE 128MB card. I put the core up to 340Mhz from 324Mhz, and the RAM up to 202Mhz from 166Mhz (well, it was *meant* to be DDR400 in it anyway...). It was fine, no artifacts. Then I ran AtiTool again a few minutes later after closing, opened the 3D window and it crashed (This program has encountered a problem and has to close...). I then discovered to my horror that every 3D game/program I ran did the same thing. Immediately I reopened AtiTool and set back to default. But no luck. Nothing changed. Still this problem. Putting my hand to the heatsink, it is quite cool. So I don't think it's temperature. Tried killing all ATI related process (with ati in the name) that could be to do with it. No luck. What can I try doing? I want my games back! I will never use AtiTool again, I don't trust it anymore. Stupid me, fiddling with things too much. I remind myself of Jack, except that I do have knowledge to back up my tinkering on my own PC. I've never "broken" a PC... I hope the same can be said for my graphics card! Cheers George |

| 307696 | 2004-12-26 10:19:00 | By the way, if noone has a quick idea, I will try physically removing and uninstalling the card, and putting it back. But I'm sure someone here has had the same problem... |

| 307697 | 2004-12-26 11:04:00 | I managed to kill an AtiTool function that unlocked the 9600 series, which was running after atitool had been terminated. Now Media Player visualisations, and NFSU - both which crashed - work. But the 3d Benchmarkers and GTA VC still won't run, or various other things. So it seems I have fixed some of the problem.... Cheers George |

| 307698 | 2004-12-26 12:13:00 | So you did some overclocking ah!!! :rolleyes: Costly if you get it wrong and cant fix it!!! :groan: Or have spare parts!!! :help: Sorry had to have some fun at this time of the morning . Personally I would unstall the software all the ati stuff, turn off p . c . ,take out card, put card back in,turn on pc reinstall all ati stuff then restart pc to load it all in,go to ati website download new software and hope . ps almost forgot try the vpu recovery app in the ati control centre first!!! |

| 307700 | 2005-01-08 07:24:00 | well i had to bring this up becuase i have the same graphics card and i was going to overclock it,so, george do you have an update? | Prescott (11) | ||
| 307701 | 2005-01-08 07:32:00 | Try setting AtiTool back to the video cards actual default core and memory speeds. You may have accidentally saved the overclocked settings as the 'default' profile? Google confirms default speeds. Under 2D profile in AtiTool and 3D profile, you have 'default' selected? Anyway try removing AtiTool and uninstalling then reinstalling your video drivers (2 reboots). |

| 307702 | 2005-01-08 07:55:00 | I reccomending using Rage#d for ati overclocking and tuning, see if Rage3d can run the games again.... http://rage3d.com |

| 307704 | 2005-01-08 11:22:00 | By the way, if noone has a quick idea, I will try physically removing and uninstalling the card, and putting it back. Well that's the obvious thing I'd suggest |
