Hello,

I played smoothly the Bad Company 2, but since I installed the new Catalyst driver ( 12.8 ) through Steam, but after 1 ~ 2 minutes of play, the game stop and displays a white screen, but the audio still working. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver I was using before ( 11.12, came with the video card ), but without success. Also downloaded the beta (12.9) but not solved. If possible, would help to solve this problem.

I checked and nothing is overheating, all coolers working fine, as i said, the problem appeared after installing new driver using steam.

I also tried deletingand reinstalling the game, but the problem persists ...

DirectX 11 updated;

Punkbuster updated;

If helps, my configuration:

Windows 7 32 bits SP 1;
Intel Core i3 2120 3.3 GHz;
MSI HD 6870 Hawk;
4 GB Kingston Hyperx Blu DDR 3 1600 MHz;
Asus P8B75-M LE;

Thank you very much.

New infos !

Temperature: Idle - 49° / In Game ( BC 2 ) - 80~96 °

Fans: Idle - 48 % / In Game ( BC 2 ) - 90~100%

I think i found the problem... overheating ?

Help please !

HD6870 at 96°(if its Celcius) seems a little bit hot.. only some more higher end gpus are designed to withstand such heat.

Sorry, its Celsius ( i'm Brazilian, and here we use this unit ). Yeah, i know that, and all fans are ok, so i dont understand why overheating now... i have this pc under a month...

Thanks.

Its generally not recommended to install drivers from Steam or Microsoft update. Download them from > http://benchmark3d.com/amd-catalyst-9-001-september-4 Uninstall the previous drivers, reboot. Run Driver Fusion > http://treexy.com/products/driver-fusion (free), select AMD graphics...delete all it finds, reboot. Install the new driver suite. You should be good to go.

Thank stumped.

But as I said, I tried to do this by following your instructions in this topic (http://forums.amd.com/game/messageview.cfm?catid=443&threadid=161308) but without results ...

I try again and hopefully new information?

Thank you!

I had this same issue playing Bad Company 2 with my HD 4870 on Windows 7 x64 using the 12.6 drivers. I followed stumped's instructions and when I rebooted and tried the issue was not fixed. But a side effect of cleaning and re-installing was that the overdrive options were available again in the control center and I was able to manually set the fan and reduce the temperature (it was at 80 degrees C previously). So far the drivers haven't crashed.
