ATI Catalyst 4.9 problem

I searched for this problem with this board in this forum but didn't find anything.  I just upgraded the driver for my built by ATI 9600XT to Catalyst 4.9 without the .NET Framework thing from Catalyst 4.4.  I tried running Aquamark and got a reboot both times I tried it.  The first time was about 30 seconds in, the second time was about 5 seconds in.  I re-installed 4.4 and it works fine.  Has anyone else had this exact problem?  If there's already a post on this, please direct me.  Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.
By the way, it's not an overheat or power supply problem as I have plenty of fans and a somewhat competent power supply.  Overdrive was not activated either.  Everything in the system is at stock speeds.  This is the first time I've ever had a spontaneous reboot andI built this PC last December.  I can't think of anything other than the driver that could cause this.

Here's the verdict.  I got crashes that caused complete reboots and crashes that only crashed back to the desktop and caused the error report thing to come up with both the ATI Catalyst 4.9 Driver and the Omega Driver with fastwrites enabled and disabled with AGP at 8X.  I knew that lowering AGP to 4X fixed a lot of other people's problems, but I was hesitant to try it since I had always been rock stable.  Based on the adivce in this thread, I lowered AGP to 4X and Aquamark 3 finished.  However, I got a score of 30,436 at 30.44 fps where I used to get 31,273 at 31.27 fps with Catalyst 4.4 AGP X8 Fastwrites on.  I know that this is very minor an I will see no real world difference, but an "upgraded" driver should not cause decreased performance or require the user to use less aggressive settings, shame on ATI.
McGeyser, I've been playing for about 12 years I guess.  Unfortunately for me now, I didn't force myself to learn right-handed.  What's wierd is that I'm right handed for most things, but I do write, eat, shoot a slingshot, play guitar, and brush my teeth left handed.....59 reissue....nice

  • ATI Catalyst 4.4 Problems

    Hi, Folks.
    I tried to install the new ATI Catalyst 4.4 today.....ran into major problems.  My keyboard wouldn't work, when I clicked on icons, it would open up the icon I clicked on as well as open up the last window I was previously working on but had since closed.  I uninstalled 4.4 and reinstalled 4.3, everything is working fine.
    Just wanted to give people a heads up and see if anyone else had similar problems.  Not sure if it is a problem with the MSI mobo or the new catalyst suite.  I have a ATI 9500 Pro with a modified bios to allow overclocking (it's the only way I can get the card to run stable with this board).  I've never had problems with the Catalyst drivers in the past.

    I got no problems here with Catalyst 4.4, and I have noticed that the gamma problem with OpenGL is fixed at least with games like ET and RTCW.

  • Firefox 6.0.1 causes extreme problems with ATI Catalyst 10.x drivers on a Win7 x64 system. When I roll back to Firefox 6.0, no problems. Can this be resolved?

    Firefox 6.0.1 causes extreme problems with ATI Catalyst 10.x drivers on a Win7 x64 system. Took me quite awhile to identify, but when I roll back to Firefox 6.0, no problems. Once Firefox recognizes this and reinstalls the 6.0.1 update then severe display driver problems occur causing very erratic display behavior and ultimately rendering the system inoperative. The problem appears to occur within a minute or two after Firefox has been opened and it occurs even if Firefox has been subsequently closed prior to the actual event taking place. I have attempted this 6 times just to ensure that the problem was associated with the 6.0.1 update.

  • T500 ATI Catalyst Control Center cannot be started

    I have some troubles in opening the ATI Catalyst Control Center.There was a window poped out saying that ATI Catalyst Control Center cannot be started because the currently active GPU is not supported. I have already reinstall this drive and the graphic drive. But the problem is not solved. I am wondering what could I do now?

    Right click on the battery in the task bar and make sure your Switchable graphics are set to Performance, if it is in energy savings the ATI control panel will not function, you need to use the Intel graphics setup instead.

  • AutoUpdate/Ati Catalyst Broken!

    AutoUpdate/Ati Catalyst Broken!? When using AutoUpdate here are some things I had to do to get it working:
    ) installed standard Creative drivers for my X-FI Titanium 2.7.007
    it worked
    2)? installed ATI Catalyst 9.0
    it stopped working.
    3) by mistake I let Windows Update install its WHQL Creative driver
    AutoUpdate started working
    used the other shortcut for AutoUpdateA.exe to get updates for Creative products in windows 7 64, and it worked everytime to reinstall the Creative 2.7.007
    4) three weeks later I installed Catalyst 9.2 drivers, and immediately after reboot, AutoUpdate is broken.
    Windows 7 Action Center reports errors with Creative AutoUpdate.
    If I delete Creative drivers using CTZAPP, Windows Update upon reboot will install its own update to Creative's drivers......... I reinstall Creative 2.7.007 and Creative AutoUpdate still works.
    5) installed ATI Catalyst and it is broken again. The Catalyst installation breaks it everytime. Reinstalling Windows Update version of Creative drivers, uninstalling those and installing Creative's several times usually fixes AutoUpdate. Within a few days, Autoupdate will be broken.
    Anybody else have the issue with Catalyst 9.0 to 9.2 and Creative AutoUpdate?
    Keep in mind, this is not my "new cause" of the week. I just did a clean format a week or so ago, and I am trying to duplicate the problems others are having with AutoUpdate. About 40-45% of users have ATI cards I would guess and I am trying to figure out if this is a common thing with about half of the Creative users. We install Creative drivers and go along for a few weeks, as many people always say, and then something goes wrong.......A new Catalyst is released about once a month or every six weeks.

    #Re: AutoUpdate/Ati Catalyst Broken!B <div class="lia">"" try and just uninstall the CCC (Catalyst Control Center) and not the actual video drivers. Its the CCC (the little red "ATI" box in your task manager on the lower right) that is causing this problem. You will still have accelerated video with the drivers installed but not the special ATI utility to configure them. Use the built-in Windows 7 advanced graphics utility when you right click on the desktop (right-click and choose "Screen Resolution"). Inside that window is a link called "Advanced settings" which will let you do the same functions as the CCC does without the CCC's interference.
    I hope this hel
    ps.
    Well this is not a good solution as you will loose advanced settings for your graphic card.

  • Arch linux doesn't boot after installing AMD ATI Catalyst

    I have a laptop which has a integrated graphic card intel 4th generation (4600) and an AMD ATI R9 m265x (hybrid Intel/AMD graphics card) so I have just installed AMD ATI Catalyst proprietary ones by following
    AMD Catalyst ArchWiki.
    I have used "Installing from the unofficial repository" method so in my pacman.conf I have added below entry for [catalyst-stable]:
    [catalyst-stable]
    Server = http://catalyst.wirephire.com/repo/catalyst/$arch
    ## Mirrors, if the primary server does not work or is too slow:
    #Server = http://70.239.162.206/catalyst-mirror/repo/catalyst/$arch
    #Server = http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/archlinux-catalyst/repo/catalyst/$arch
    #Server = http://mirror.hactar.bz/Vi0L0/catalyst/$arch
    Then I have update pacman's database and install below packages:
    catalyst-hook
    catalyst-utils-pxp
    lib32-catalyst-utils-pxp
    (No need to install catalyst-total-pxp as I have installed catalyst-utils-pxp)
    After installing it, I have configured the driver, configuring X using below command:
    # aticonfig --initial
    In order to use PowerXpress support I have installed catalyst-utils-pxp package plus additional lib32-catalyst-utils-pxp.
    To perform a switch into Intel's IGP I have also installed the mesa-libgl  package and Intel's drivers: xf86-video-intel  and intel-dri .
    I have enable the automatic update by enabling the catalyst-hook.service with below commands since it automatically rebuilds the fglrx modules while the system shuts down or reboots (so I haven't to do it manually each time kernel is updated using Catalyst-generator):
    # systemctl enable catalyst-hook
    # systemctl start catalyst-hook
    And finally I have blacklisted radeon module by creating "/etc/modprobe.d/blacklisted.conf" file which content is:
    blacklist radeon
    and also I have ensured that fglrx line is added in "/etc/modules-load.d/Catalyst.conf" file.
    To avoid problems, I have rebuilt the fglrx module by doing (I know it is not necessary as it is done by catalyst-hook):
    catalyst_build_module all
    Once I reboot, arch linux does not boot. Last lines printed out are below and then it freezes:
    Starting temp files linker to catalyst...
    Starting Catalyst event Daemon...
    [ OK ] Started Catalyst event Daemon
    Starting Catalyst's fglrx kernel' module builder...
    [ OK ] Started temp files linker for catalyst.
    [ OK ] Started Catalyst's fglrx kernel' modue builder.
    [ OK ] Started gnome Display manager.
    [ OK ] Started Network manager.
    [ OK ] Reached target Multi-User system.
    [ OK ] Reached target Graphical Interface.
    [ OK ] Reached target Network.
    I have tried to put nomodeset as a kernel parameter but it does not work. Also, after reading ArchWiki, I have noticed that it is recommended to don't do this as I am using catalyst-utils-pxp because intel driver needs it so I have removed nomodeset parameter from kernel but It continues not working.
    Any ideas?
    Package versions:
    Kernel version 3.17.6-1-ARCH
    catalyst-hook 14.12-1
    catalyst-utils-pxp 14.12-1
    lib32-catalyst-utils-pxp 14.12-1
    xorg-server 1.16.2.901-1
    xf86-video-intel 2.99.916-3

    FInally I managed to boot arch linux.
    I had to downgrade xorg-server from 1.16.2.901-1 to 1.15.2-1.
    It seems there is a problem with Catalyst 14.12-1 and xorg-server 1.16.2.901-1.
    Also I had to replace desktop manager from gdm to lightdm as gdm raises segmentation faults using xorg-server versions 1.16.2.901-1 and 1.15.2-1.
    Finally I had to add an entry in pacman.conf:
    [xorg115]
    Server = http://catalyst.wirephire.com/repo/xorg115/$arch
    ## Mirrors, if the primary server does not work or is too slow:
    #Server = http://mirror.rts-informatique.fr/archlinux-catalyst/repo/xorg115/$arch
    #Server = http://mirror.hactar.bz/Vi0L0/xorg115/$arch
    Then performs following actions:
    1)  # pacman -Syuu catalyst-hook catalyst-utils-pxp
    2) Uninstall all the packages xf86* such as xf86-video-intel, xf86-input-evdev,  xf86-input-synaptics, etc.
    3) Install the packages uninstalled in step 2 and install them again using xorg115 repo, for example, # pacman -S xorg115/xf86-video-intel xorg115/xf86-input-evdev xorg115/xf86-input-synaptics
    I have put a comment here.

  • ATI Catalyst 9.2 and "Incompatible display adapter has been disabled."

    Hi,
    I have this issue... on 3 GPUs. Only one is working.  2 x 3870x2 in crossfire / Vista x64 SP1
    I tried everything possible : uninstall all ATI software before, clean registry, delete files, temporary files, many uninstall and reboots, trying different settings in BIOS . Same issue.
    This time I choose to install 9.2 drivers only (without Control Center), but the result is the same.
    The problem appears since v8.11, but I was able to install at the end by cleaning / reinstalling many times.
    v8.12, v9.1, v9.2 are impossible to install correctly on my system. I'm very disapointed.
    I've been waiting about 6 month for 8.10 to have stable drivers...
    Maybe installing ATI drivers should be proposed to Olympic Games category...
    I asked to ATI if they have a tool to clean all previous drivers, and they suggested this link :
    https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&questionID=1447
    Look at the utility cat-uninstaller.exe date : 10/08/2003 !!!
    It's possible that the problem comes from old drivers, but I refuse to format / reinstall the system each time ATI release a new driver. I did that for 8.12 and I had the same issue.
    For users who have this problem : OPEN A TICKET TO ATI CUSTOMER CARE !!!
    http://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&questionID=31625
    That's the olny way to solve this issue.
    My system below :
    AMD Phenom 9950 BE / Sunbeam Core-Contact Freezer / ASUS M3A32-MVP DELUXE-WIFI-AP (AMD 790FX/SB600 - BIOS v1406) / OCZ Reaper HPC Edition 8Go ( 4*2Go ) PC8500 1066MHz Cas 5-5-5-18 / Quad CrossfireX : dual MSI R3870X2-T2D1G-OC - ATI Catalyst 8.11 / RAID0 : 2x Samsung - Spinpoint F1 - 320 Go 7200 rpm SATA II 16 Mo cache / PSU : Thermaltake - TOUGHPOWER 1200W / VISTA x64 SP1

    I did tests on my second system :
    System 2 :
    AMD Athlon X2 6400+ / ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe (AMD 790FX/SB750) / 8GB DDR2 800MHz Corsair Doninator / RAID0 2x Samsung 200 Go SATA II
    CrossfireX : 2x MSI RX3870-T2D512E-OC (v120 + v803) / ATI Catalyst 9.1 / Cooler Master Real Power M620 (620W/efficiency >80%) / VISTA x64 SP1
    On this system :
    Catalyst 9.1 working and Crysis Warhead too
    Catalyst 9.2 installation is OK, but :
        - Crysis Warhead hang at 85% when a level is loaded
        - Crysis v1.2.1 load correctly, but hang after 1 minute
        - I noticed that when I lanch CPU-Z 0.3.2 I have on "Bus Interface"
            -card 1 : PCI-E x16 2.0@ x16 2.0
            -card 2 : PCI-E x16 2.0@ x16          (in catalyst 8.10, both are @2.0)
    Uninstall 9.2 and visual c++ x64, reboot, install 9.1 => 2 x GPU disabled error 43 !!!
    Going back to 8.10 : it's the last working stable revision from MSI.
    For users who use MSI Live update, and drivers from MSI : what are the last ATI Catalyst revision drivers furbished by MSI ?
    I would like to have feedback (vista x64, crossfirex).
    Thanks

  • ATI Catalyst 13.3 beta 2 Poisonous to Photoshop CS6

    Last night I installed the new ATI Catalyst 13.3 beta 2 driver.  The 13.2 betas had worked seemingly okay.  But with 13.3 beta 2, Photoshop CS6 13.1.2 crashes in Advanced mode when any document is opened...

    I'm still trying things, to see if there are workarounds, or modes in which it works, but for now, my advice:
    Avoid installing Catalyst 13.3 beta 2.
    I'll follow up here when I learn more.
    -Noel

    One manifestation of this new driver version is that Photoshop CS6 now thinks there is an insane amount of VRAM...
    This is a problem that showed up in Catalyst 12.10 and persisted through 13.1, then was miraculously solved in 13.2 betas.  Now it has returned.
    And from what I've been able to see during testing, it crashes Photoshop in all GPU accelerated modes, not just Advanced.

  • ATI Catalyst 12.6 Released - Early Results

    I have updated my Windows 7 x64 workstation, equipped with VisionTek ATI Radeon HD 5670, to use the new ATI Catalyst 12.6 release, just out.  I upgraded from their last stable release, 12.2.

    Early indications, with just a few hours testing, are that the GPU-enhanced features of Photoshop CS6 x64 appear to work OK with this ATI driver version:
    I've been able to enable use of the Graphics Processor in Advanced mode, as with 12.2.
    I've been able to enable OpenCL and it appears to stay enabled.
    Liquify works well and it appears fast.
    Oil Paint works well and fast, though there's a slight flicker when panning the image.
    The new blurs (e.g., Iris Blur) work well and fast.
    Animated zooms are smooth.
    Painting with various brushes, including bristle and mixer brushes, seems just about as quick as with earlier driver versions.
    No change to the prior slow performance of the Smudge Tool with larger brushes. That may be a Photoshop issue.
    Accelerated color-management (Normal and Advanced GPU modes) appears to work the same as before.  No change to the inaccuracy issue with documents in the ProPhoto RGB profile.
    New Problems Discovered
    I now see a minor new transparency glitch, as reported by others in the thread below, where I did not see this problem with Catalyst 12.2:  http://forums.adobe.com/message/4530588#4530588
    Questionable Things With Workarounds (Geek Stuff):
    The driver insists on putting a couple of things in front of the system PATH on installation that are absolutely not needed, and worse, can cause problems on a development system (e.g., with Visual Studio).  These can be removed without downside I can see.
    The installer sets a registry value that causes the recording of a whole bunch of extraneous events in the System Event Log.  This can be undone by setting this value:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Atierecord]
    "eRecordEnable"=dword:00000000
    Recommendations:
    Keep in mind I only updated to this version of the driver earlier today, so I haven't got a lot of experience with it yet.  Early indications are that it's not bad, but if you're already on Catalyst 12.2 and you have a stable system, I see no reason to upgrade. 
    The new version does not appear to be faster, and there is the one new issue where there's a slight transparency glitch in 16 bits/channel documents showing on the screen after a canvas rotation.
    I'll update this thread if I find more things to report.  Given the new transparency issue and the fact that I had no problems with 12.2, I'll probably test with 12.6 for a few days then drop back to 12.2.
    -Noel

    You're very welcome, folks.  Thanks for taking the time to send your thoughts, and for your contributions here as well.
    I've logged one full day of hard use including Photoshop and many other tasks, and I've seen zero glitches (outside the one I mentioned above, which is pretty minor) with the Catalyst 12.6 release.

  • MSI RX9600-T128 + ATi Catalyst 6.2 = INF Error

    I would like to know tech information about MSI RX9600-T128 (chip, memory etc).
    Where can i find comparation with ATi 9500, 9600SE, 9600Pro based video cards?
    I've got a problem instaling ATi Catalyst 6.2  with RX9600-T128 running WindowsXP.
    Also I would like to download WinXP x64 drivers for this video card.
    Thanks to all for your future post...

    Livesms,
    You asked for the specs on the different Vid Card, I justed their Core and Memory speeds, if you want something different, please specify.
    I'm interested is there a big differnese in 3d games and such other things beatween MSI RX9600-T128 (obility Radeon 9600 (FireGL T2-128), 325MHz) and this cards

    As for the mobility chip, unless you are using a notebook computer, do not bother.
    I'm using desktop with this video card. But it is built on Mobility chip.

    If you told us what you wanted to do, I am sure we could find you a better Vid Card.
    Was it my mistake to by this video card. In store i saw label "MSI ATi Radeon 9600" and i decided to by it...
    Or it is better to return it to store and take some other from list i metioned?
    Quote from: Richard on 19-February-06, 22:42:36
    Now for your problem, download Driver Cleaner to remove your old Vid Card Drivers before installing your new Drivers. I would also scan your comp for Viruses, Spyware, and other Malware too.
    Drivers for WinXP i've found - Omega Driver Pack - it works without errors (till now)
    Now i'm looking for WinXP x64 drivers.
    I'm using NOD32 with up-to-date bases:) is it enough?

  • Probs with ATI Catalysts Drivers

    I’m currently using ATI Catalyst Drivers 6.14.10.6404 (3.9) for my ATI Radeon 9600xt.
    If I upgrade to the latest ATI or Omega Drivers (4.7 I think), my card crashes and is very unstable.
    my current graphics settings are:
    enabled VPU recover
    fast write is on
    AGPx8
    Why does 3.9 work and 4.7 not work, I have only had this problem since changing to this board.
    Any help appreciated.

    Well I hope it works for you engrrowl!  I was installing a slipstreamed version of XP with SP2.  But that sure didn't help me.  I would randomly have my screen corrupt with my 9700.  And that stupid card has given me headaches since I got an LCD.  So driver incompatibility used to make my screen go black all the time.  It would then revert to normal (maybe!).  But there were many times I had to shutdown by the keyboard and disconnect the DVI cable to get it to work again.  And the LCD is a Samsung so it's not cheap.
    I broke down the other night and when I had to reinstall WinXP from scratch I reverted to an older GF4.  This morning I ordered a Geforce 6800, and it will "upgrade" fine.  But if I tried to go from an ATI to an Nvidia I would have had to reload my OS again.    So it worked out for me.
    But it's strange that switching video cards solved all my "issues".  That and the fact that I've never really like ATI's drivers means I will never get another of their cards.

For the record, I have an ATI Radeon Mobility X1400.
    Hey,
    I have exactly the same problem (Radeon 9700 Mobility here). My native resolution is 1400x1050 and it used to work just fine but the newest driver maxes out at 1280x1024 (as reported by xrandr).
    Shame ATI can't write drivers.
    Thanks for posting the old packages.
    Best,
    Philipp
    Me too. Normally I use 1440x900 resolution, but after updating, my resolution is totally wrong. Thanks for the packages!

  • Can't install ATI Catalyst

    Hate to ask for help, but can't find anything from google.  Also sorry if this is the wrong place to post it.  Anywho, I'm having trouble installing ATI Catalyst.  When I installed Arch I installed the oss drivers, but I can't play any resource heavy games (like Urban Terror).  If there's another way o fix it without installing Catalyst, that's cool to.
    Anyway, when I do pacman -S catalyst I get:
    resolving dependencies...
    looking for inter-conflicts...
    :: catalyst-utils conflicts with libgl. Remove libgl? [Y/n] y
    error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
    :: ati-dri: requires libgl>=7.2
    I'm not exactly sure how I should take care of that.  Do I need to remove everything installed by the OS driver or what?

    Alright so I think I've got it good. 
    http://crunchbanglinux.org/pastebin/176 - xorg.conf
    I removed libgl and xf86-video-ati, thats all the OS driver comes with, right?  Tryin' to make sure I have everything cleaned up. ;o
