Grey Screen of Death (GSOD) for ATI gfx cards FIX Options

[Ragenowski]

Got this today from a friend, I'd heard of this method before but wasn't sure until I saw this forum post giving a step by step....it's actually a VERY easy fix.

http://www.overclock.net/ati/641299-guide-...fterburner.html

Steps for those too lazy to visit the link;
DL a program called MSIafterburner (I used version 1.4.1)

Find the MSIafterburner folder on your PC, open it up and find MSIafterburner.cfg and open that file with notepad.

Go to the bottom line of text "EnableUnofficialOverclocking" and change the value from a 0 to a 1.

Save as (all file types) same file name as it had, YES to overwrite original file.

Restart Afterburner and adjust your clock speeds to whatever speeds you want, in my case I went with pretty close to stock speeds.

Save those settings as profile 1

Hit reset and then save the reset settings as profile 2. This will allow you to do non-gaming stuff without having your clock speeds at the 3d clocks.

You'll have to make sure to go into afterburner and hit 1 and apply and you should be all set..

I did this tonight and I was able to play BC2 all night without a single crash. I'm stoked as shit about this obviously because before I couldn't play more than 10 or 15 minutes before I'd crash....I'm also playing it with all settings as high as they go, 1920x1200 8xAA, 16xAF without any noticeable choppiness. I haven't really paid attention to performance so far but every time I looked at fraps I was at or above 70fps. So I'm happy as shit right now 8) 8)
