OS: Windows 7 Ultimate


Blue screen on certain games

I recently installed an Ati Radeon HD 4770 512MB card, and I'm getting blue screens now.

Certain games that I launch will detect that I have a new graphics card, and try to auto-adjust the in-game graphical settings based on the cards capabilities. Whenever an application attempts this, I get a blue screen for a split second, and then my computer crashes. Games that don't auto-adjust work fine.

Anyone know what could be causing this? My older ati card didn't have any problems.

PC=Insipiron 530, 3gb ram, Intel 2.5 ghz dual, Windows 7 ultimate.

My System

Re: Blue screen on certain games

Are you using the stock dell 300w the system came with? That alone could easily cause the bluescreens.

Also , try a different os , windows 7 is not yet released and all drivers for the os are in there early stages or even beta.
