ok sry i havnt been posting alot lately, i just got my report card and uh, yea sounds a lil gay but im grounded lol.
Anyways... yea i just got a new cpu like 3 days ago and it came with vista. I tried shutting it down the other night and a blue screen pooped up that said error, then it restared. the only way i can shut it down is to run in safe mode then shut down. anyone know why this is?
thats why i need to know if u have a disk recovery or a recovery hard drive?
the disk usually comes with seperate disks which are for drivers (audio, video mouse and keyboard and most the time ethernet for ur modem) just tell me everything u have and i should be able to answer most if not all ur questions
well it says 0x000000cf and ati2dvag.dll. something to do with my drivers for my new graphics card. it says alot of other stuff but those are the 2 most important codes cause those are the file and code name for the problem im having. its a visiontek radeon x 1650 pro 256mb. And i hav a hp cpu. that should b all the info u need, its ust i dont what to do with the info lol.
only on shutdown that erroe comes up?? yes go to ati's site and get ur driver (prob boundled with a "tweak ur graphics card" software program
one way to troubleshoot (its obvisously ur video card) is to go into
"device manager"
hold windows key and press pause/break key top left
then click the hardware tab and then device manager
click display adapters and then double click ur vid card from there try the driver tab and try updating from there...if it finds an update use it...if not then go back to the general tab and disable the device...
Though my keyboard short cuts and wording might vary from that of the vista operating system i doubt they would completly change the setup to the poin of u not being able to understand my instructions
anyways disable the vid card and try shutting down. If it works then yes i would restart and unstill all drivers form vid card and reinstall them
I have a feeling that the Radeon card driver has a compatibility issue with windows Xp. I have had the same error with my 9600pro. I recommend you scrap the radeon and go with a geforce. Heaps more powerful and reliable. Definitely worth the extra dough
i have a radeon 9550 256 mb and it seems to work good for me, btw would it be possible to hook up 2 video cards on the same comp?? 1 is radeon and 1 in gforce

If you ever meet a hafling and a hungry dragon you dont have to outrun the dragon, you only have to outrun the hafling.
Yes it would be possible but you wouldn't be able to run both at the same time. Also it would depend on your motherboard. Very few have a slot for two graphics cards besides AGP and onboard
DarkJay yes u can hook up 2, but like Maestro said u could only run 1 at a time. Now if u have 2 of the same video cards and a capable mother board u can run them both at the same time
Called SLI
Heaps of dedicated video ram that way wich frees up ur processor to handle other tasks
i have a ati radeon 1600x with 512 mb video ram with windows xp and have had no driver problems/compatibility problems wat so ever
i think mnost the ati cards past 1100 were built to be used on a windows ox os
If you want try downloading Anti Vir Anti Virus free trial and scan with that. Make sure you scan the hard drives and rootkit and set your settings to max for heurostics and stuff. This is mostly for Viruses Trojans and BDS and any other bad crap you get from downloading torrents constantly :D.
As for running 2 video cards at the same time.
- They have to be the SAME CARDS!!!!
- You need a mother board with SLI compatibility( 2 AGP or PCI-E16 slots)
- A lot of new mother boards come with SLI or Tri SLI availability
If you ever need help with Computers as for upgrading or building new ones I can help you. I can also tell you folks how my Quad core works at 4ghz OC and how my 2 8800 GT 512's are working in SLI
