First post - question about TF2

Hey all,

(Sorry if this is getting posted in the wrong spot) You guys just seem to know your stuff when it comes to computers so I had a quick question ...

using a malibal lotus p150h win 7 / 8 gb / amd 6970m card to play tf2. It crashes about 50 percent of the time on exiting ... have to power off and back on again to restart. Searching the internet I saw that this is a general problem, never happened on my desktops so I don't know what to make of this. Suppose just have to deal with it ... Just curious if anyone else experienced this.

thought it was a graphics card issue, the screen goes into frozen dark green/yellow bar stripes when crashing, so i checked to make sure my drivers were up to date , windows says it is (12/8/2010 seemed kinda old to me) I don't know.


anyway thanks for your time.

 

TF2 works fine for me. Play every other day. Only had 2 crashes in 3 months; only got the "This program stopped responding" thingy.

Video drivers would be the first thing I would check. Those 12/8/10 drivers are pretty old.

 

Doesent seem right.
TF2 is rock solid on my HD 6970m with Catalyst 11.8 so if you got any older then i would recommend upgrading.
