So I just made my new computer and it keeps locking it and blue screening during Bad Company 2.

Phenom x4 970
8GB Corsair RAM
HD6950
870A-G54 mobo

Any word on if the 11.4 catalyst drivers are bad and if so is there a driver number that anyone can recommend?

Bumping for great justice because it depresses me that I just spend $600 to browse the web

It was blue screening but now it's either freezing so I can't back out or restarting on it's own

It might just be BC2 though. Just played a round of Crysis 2 and nothing bad happened.

My 6850 runs it fine...

Sounds like a driver problem, OP. Or a bad case of install. Run Driver Sweeper, Clean that shit out and reinstall again.

If you posted that the bluescreen actually said and the error code of it / what it crashed in, it might be some help.

Obviously, if it's crashing on an ati driver file you know it's an ati driver.

Also ensure base system stability, run prime95 for a couple hours to make sure it's not the board configuring your ram improperly or something along those lines.

Looks like you aren't qualified to be building custom computers.

Get a pre-built so you can get tech support.

Whooops! You won't need tech support because they are professionals that know what the fuck they're doing!

Well of course when I try to break it I can't. Figures, this better be permanant. Went to 11.2 and then Steam told me mine were out dated and I let it install the new ones for me and so far no issues in BC2. Got to play more than 2 mins.

As stated before, The best solution would be to run Driver Sweeper and install the drivers yourself directly from AMD's site.

At least all is well.

Crashed really quickly this time. Under 1 min. Still doing the straight restart. I hope it's just a bad video card and not something else in the computer.
