Radeon 6850 Freezing On Startup
Sep 27, 2011
Ever since the latest update to AMD Catalyst a week or so ago, when I start up my computer from being completely off, something strange happens. After a few seconds, the AMD Core Line still has not started up, the cursor freezes, and the keyboard are all non responsive. If the cursor had the "working in the background" blue spinner, that freezes and no longer animates.I have tried reinstalling AMD Core Line and checked its settings. Didn't find anything useful. I say "tried," cuz I was unable to successfully uninstall it, it was left in an unusable state, but then I did successfully reinstall it.

I installed a radeon gigabyte 6850 graphics card in to my computer a long time ago and after I made the switch from Nvidia to Radeon my input jacks and output jacks stopped working. Usually I can live with it and use my laptop or phone for skype but I've just bought a game on steam and I can't use steam voice chat on a different system then play on my gaming system at the same time and playing games with my friends without voice chat is unacceptable.When I plug a mic in it says its working and it shows up in realtek hd audio but when i try to use it with anything it doesnt work. The bar doesnt even go up when i test it in windows 7 so it must be muted. I've tested the mic with a laptop before so it definitely works. I've reinstalled realtek hd drivers. I think the problem is I'm using hdmi to connect my tv and use it as a monitor and apparently using hdmi sound from amd cards mute all other sounds. I need the speakers on my tv as they are my only speakers, and buying new speakers or a sound card is not a possible option right now. And even if I could get speakers, my tv only connects via hdmi anyway so the sound would still be muted so I really need this fix. how I can get windows 7 sound to work while using hdmi from a radeon graphics card to output sound to my speakers? Does anyone use hdmi to connect their display to an amd graphics card?

Are there any "significant" differences between the ATI Radeon 6850 and 6870 graphic cards? I am considering purchasing the ATI Radeon 6850 graphics card. However, I am told that the 6870 is a superior card. I would like to see a side-by-side comparison of these two cards before making a decision. Does anyone know of a website that provides such a comparison?

recently my computer has been acting a bit odd. When I turn it on it starts up like normal, I input my password and it starts loading everything. But once everything is loaded at the start up the taskbar freezes and so does the rest of the desktop. I can move my mouse but it does nothing and I'm not able to open the taskmanager at all with ctrl+alt+del. The computer runs fine in safe mode. I've already gone through and cleaned up my system, fixed any registry problems, and defragged my hdd. I've scanned for any malware and came up with nothing. I've disabled all non-necessary programs in msconfig for startup. I've been able to do a system restore to about a week ago, and that would fix the problem for a bit, but it would happen again if the computer went into sleep mode.

I've had issues with this thing for awhile but for the sake of the forum I'l stick to my current issue.Upon startup, everything works fine. I put in my login password and Windows begins to load. While Windows is loading it just reezes. The only thing I can say is it freezes after most of the applications load but it's still searching for networks. Straight freezenothing works. However, and this was weird, out of the 4 or 5 times it froze last night, one of the times I was still able to move the mouse. Nothing else worked though.My drivers should be up to date. I do check them and update them as needed.I do regular checks for viruses and spyware. I use free programs that are updated regularly.I "clean up" my system on somewhat regular basis.I defragment the hard drive on a somewhat regular basis.I clean my registry regularly.I deleted the programs that start up with the computer that I don't need. Winamp, my spyware scanner, and this clean-your-PC program I downloaded (see below) no result I recently got suckered into one of those clean your PC programs that cost like 20 bucks. That's the only major program I've downloaded recently. I did a system restore to before I downloaded that and the same problem occurred.The computer works fine in safe mode. Even "with networking" it connects to the internet just fine.I did just realize I didn't do a virus scan in safe mode last night, I'll do that when I get home tonight. But if you guys know a good free virus scanner to use let me know, otherwise I'll follow up if the virus scan fixes it.

I have a weird problem with my Windows 7. When I restart it, it will 90% of the time freeze right after startup (from 30 seconds to 5 minutes after startup). The cursor just won't move and everything on the screen is still and I have to reboot to get it back working. Unless it freezes again (which it does most of the time). I have to try about 10 to 15 times each time I restart my computer to get it working, and it seems to be completely random. I haven't been able to isolate the problem and I don't think this is a hardware issue because my laptop is running linux (ubuntu) flawlessly.
As for my config:
ASUS N61JQ Laptop :
intel core i7 1.6 ghz
ATI mobility radeo HD 5730
4gb ddr ram
320 gb hard drive 7200 rpm
I also have an external hard drive of 1 TB that's connected to my laptop.

Earlier this afternoon, my Toshiba laptop running windows 7 restarted itself without any prompting. Since then, I have not been able to start it in normal mode without it restarting itself of freezing either during the startup or just after. I can open it in safe mode with networking, but that is it.
Ive tried fixing the registry, Ive tried antivirus software, Ive tried system restores, and Ive tried running a clean boot. None of these have worked.

I'm having issues with W7 freezing soon after startup. It works fine for 5 min TOPS and the next second I know, it's frozen and I get the busy icon (like a circle) in place of my mouse pointer. Then if I wait a few more minutes, I get the pictures below(in that order). I'm not the only one to use the computer so did someone else mess something up?

Windows is currently freezing up after startup. This started after receiving a blue screen during one startup. On the next startup, there was a small dialogue box; I opted not to restore the computer to a previous state.
Now, Windows loads normally, but generally the first action taken freezes the computer (mouse will move, but that's it). I have managed open a text file, and even updated Adobe Reader from the tray. I also opened Task Manager from right-click on the bottom bar. Trying to end a process, create a text file, or open Explorer, Firefox, or any other program I've tried causes a freeze up. Safe Mode seems to work fine.

about a week or two ago i posted on the virus and malware removal forums and followed all the steps i was given and afterwards my computer stopped freezing and started up normally again. now it has started again, although no blue screens like before, and im wondering if its something else... I use norton i dont know if that could be it? I was wondering because if its not causing it then ill have removed it for no reason... it seems like it was for some other people though

Having a bit of a nightmare troubleshooting a problem with my Acer Aspire Desktop.Sometimes it freezes after start up. maybe about 2 mins after logging in. Yesterday it freezed at the bios screen where I can choose safe mode, safe mode with networking etc.Sometimes the monitor has a 'no signal' message on it and I have to reboot to get it back working.I am running out of ideas of how to fix the problem, as sometimes it does not crash at all and I have absolutely no problems I have run windows ram diagnostic I have downloaded and run a cpu test with a diagnostic from Intel's website.I have done a hard drive test, I did a scannow for to check if there were any problems with system files I ran Ccleaner,I did a full scan with kaspersky and malwarebytes. Malwarebytes did show up 3 malware I downloaded combofix and turned off everything and did a scan with that. I ran Microsoft fix it - and that said my recycle bin was corrupt so it fixed it. I made sure all my drivers were up to date and I ran a windows update. I have a lot of errors with event viewer but have absolutely no idea to do use it. Sometimes the computer works no problem. Had no problems Monday. But yesterday it froze straight away after turning it on, and again at the safe mode, safe mode networking and last known good configuration screen. I started it is safe mode Then I started it normally and it worked fine again.

I recently built a new pc and I'm having some issues with Windows 7 which seems to freeze on start up. By this I mean at the "Starting Windows" screen the animation will start but will freeze after a couple of seconds. It usually takes me about 3 restarts to then get into windows. I haven't been using Windows Repair tool because the restore deletes all of the programmes that I've put on and the crashing continues to happen despite the changes. I'll list my specs below:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
ASRock Pro3 Gen3 Z68
Intel Core i5 2500k currently @ stock speed
Gigabyte 560Ti OC
OCZ ZS 550w
8GB DDR3 Crucial Ballistix 1600mhz
Kingston HyperX 120gb SSD (Boot Drive)
Western Digital 1TB Caviar Blue (Overflow Drive)
I don't think the SSD is the problem because when I did the install on the WD HDD I still had the instability and the crashes.The drivers I have installed are: Realtek LAN drivers, Nvidia 500 series Graphics, Nvidia HD Audio and all of the "Important" Windows 7 updates.

I've bought an MSI 990XA-GD55 3 weeks ago. I've formatted my hdd, installed a clean x64 ultimate, installed newest drivers and updated the bios. However, there began some problems at startup about my mouse. Randomly, lets say, in every 7-8 Boots, my computer doesnt recognise my mouse, saying that "device could not be installed" or something like that, you know, the default "usb device error".. And i must either re-plug it, or restart the computer..I've changed the ports, re-done everyting, but no chance..It happens randomly, just before "Welcome" screen appears, the light of the mouse fades away, and after Welcome screen, cursor does not move.Thinking that it would be a mo'bo issue, i've changed it with a better model MSI 990FXA-GD65.Another format, another install of the newest things, bios update..However, shit happens again!I've got a A4 X7 XL-750BK mouse, which is kinda new and doesnt have (and had) any problem except this one. Some say, that i should change it; but i'm really confused about it, because it runs just fine and smooth.

I have a Toshiba Satellite L505 with Windows 7 64bit. After starting up and entering the log in screen my computer freezes. I can access and work the computer through safe mode with no problems. I've checked the drivers and all are fine but one. The hdaudbus.sys is updated but will not startup. Is this what is stopping my computer from running in normal mode? Also, I have reformatted the hard drive and have also reset the computer back to factory setting.

Just put together a brand new computer, Windows installed fine (running x64 bit Ultimate),everything loaded up fine the first time. Then I installed the driver and utility for my network card, and everything seemed fine til I got an internet connection, at which point it froze, and the only fix is a restart. Now every time it boots it freezes, sometimes within 10 seconds of starting, sometimes it doesn't make it past the "Welcome" screen and it'll just freeze. Haven't gotten to use my new machine for more than 20 seconds at a time, extremely annoying. In safe mode there doesn't seem to be a problem, I've had it on for more than 20 mins and it's been fine. Does anyone know where I can start looking to fix this? I've been struggling with this thing for 3 days and I'm running out of ideas. Here's the specs:Intel DP55KG MotherboardIntel Core i7 875K ProcessorOCZ OCZ3G1333LV8GK Gold 8GB PC10666 DDR3 Dual Channel MemorySeagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB Hard Drive (OEM)Ultra X4 750-Watt Modular Power SupplyRadeon 5770 1GB

I've recently begun to have a problem about my USB mouse and my new mobo.
I've bought an MSI 990XA-GD55 3 weeks ago. I've formatted my hdd, installed a clean x64 ultimate, installed newest drivers and updated the bios. However, there began some problems at startup about my mouse. Randomly, lets say, in every 7-8 Boots, my computer doesnt recognise my mouse, saying that "device could not be installed" or something like that, you know, the default "usb device error".. And i must either re-plug it, or restart the computer..
I've changed the ports, re-done everyting, but no chance..It happens randomly, just before "Welcome" screen appears, the light of the mouse fades away, and after Welcome screen, cursor does not move..
Thinking that it would be a mo'bo issue, i've changed it with a better model MSI 990FXA-GD65. Another format, another install of the newest things, bios update..However, *** happens again!
I've got a A4 X7 XL-750BK mouse, which is kinda new and doesnt have (and had) any problem except this one. Some say, that i should change it; but i'm really confused about it, because it runs just fine and smooth..
My other system elements are X3 720 B.E, 2x4Gb Geil Enhance Corsa 1600Mhz, Sapphire Radeon 5870 V2, 1TB Samsung HDD, etc..
OH, almost forgot the add..I've also got a USB Powered Sound Card, a Line 6 UX2, and it just works flawlessly, never had such "functional" problems..

My Windows 7 account has started freezing not long after startup. It works in safe mode. My virus checker has failed so I can not do a virus check. In safe mode I can not re-install a virus checker. I have run the Ashampoo register checker and corrected all the faults. bar reinstalling the operating system which was an upgrade from Vista I am not sure what to do.

A week ago I started my computer and instead of booting up normally, the Disk Read Error (Press CTRL ALT DEL to restart) screen came up and when I restarted, it would just repeat. I used the Win 7 on my SD card to do a repair and it fixed the problem, but the same thing happened again the next day and the fix didn't work. After that I just gave up and wiped my drive, did a fresh install of Win7. Today I turned on my computer and the same error came up. I restarted and it got to the Starting Windows screen, but it just freezes there. At first I thought the OS was corrupt, but this time the error came up within a week...I'm not sure what the problem is. :S My SSD could be the culprit, but I want to make sure that it's not something else causing this to happen before I go out and buy a new SSD. EDIT: The Windows Repair screen won't come up unless I turn off the computer and switch off the PSU, wait for the light on the motherboard to go off, and switch PSU back on. If I don't switch off the PSU, the Windows Repair screen will never appear and it will just continuously say, "Disk Read Error".

I've got a machine that bluescreened yesterday while putting a new XFX 6850 through its paces. Machine had been back up about an hour, I'd installed latest AMD drivers, ran OCCT's GPU stress test on error check mode for half an hour or so without issue, and then was running Unigine's Heaven DX11 benchmark tool on loop to check out performance & noise/thermals. I returned with some food 30 min later to find the machine BSOD'ed. Tried for about an hour to replicate the BSOD without it recurring.
MSI H55M-P31 v1.9 BIOS
Intel i3 540 @ 3.67ghz (160 bclk)

Windows 7 x64 Ultimate SP1

I've got a few other computers I can test the card in, just trying to track down any other potential causes first.

Today I installed hd6850.I did a clean install with use of Driver Fusion(ex driver sweeper)And Im getting atikmdag.sys bsod when booting.I searched for atikmdag.sys in windows folder, and found 9 atikmdag.sys and 2 atikmdag.sys.mui. [URL] Can I delete this files, when doing clean install? An after cleaning with DF Im still having a lot of files wich begins with ati...sys(ATi technologies). Are they safe to delete. Im thinking, probably not. Or can I ,but not ones in amd64_microsoft-windows-w..ationservice .... folders?
This is minidump report:
[URL]
I know there are a lot of solutions on the net but nothing worked.I will try different version of drivers. But first wil try clean install with drivers only, without CCC. One guy did a extended research, and found aou that, without CCC, there is no BSOD.

When I first installed windows it started to work just fine but I soon noticed that it would randomly freeze every 15-30 minutes of use, but not on a particular program or anything. I assumed it was drivers so I installed the latest drivers for my GPU and MOBO and keyboard. It seemed fine again until it started crashing again. I ran a GPU burn test and a CPU burn test it passed both. (I tried runing memtest86+ but it froze at like 12%) Then I tried fixing the registry so I downloaded ccleaner and fixed the registry problems. Freezes continued. I finally decided to re install windows so I did and the problems still continued. I am at a loss of what to do and can't think of anything else.

Computer is currently suffering from persistent freezing and bluescreens. It seems to happen almost randomly, and usually very soon after startup and loading of Windows. System restore has not helped.'fraid that's all the info I can give right now. Any recommendations? If anyone wants me to run hijackthis or dxdiag and post results I'd be more than happy to (assuming I can get that far before it freezes!). Safe mode does work, and the problem does not occur while in safe mode.
