Greetings,

I had Vista 64 and now upgraded to Windows 7 64bit.  80% of my games crash on load.

As other I have googled the shiznit out of this, it seems most people crash some time into a game, I crash without the thing loading at all.

My setup.

Processor Information:

Qx9770 (I run clocked and not clocked, all modes crash)

Asus Striker II Extreme motherboard

Windows Version:

    Windows 7 (64 bit)

Video Card:

    Driver:  NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX/9800 GTX+

    DirectX Driver Name:  nvd3dum.dll

    DirectX Driver Version:  8.17.11.9562

    DirectX Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX/9800 GTX+

    Number of Monitors:  2

These games run off Steam mainly but also games not in steam crash.

JadeEmpire

MassEffect

Mirror's Edge  various others.

    If your system is just starting to crash, I would first ask what has changed. Dont say nothing, cause if nothing has changed, then that would mean you are not useing your computer at all and have not powered it on at all. What hardware do you hvae, what has changed, how long have you been running on that Windows install? That would be int first information I would want to know.

    That is a Direct X 11 issue. Try reinstalling DX from the install media.

    You are responding to an five month old post, on a thread that was started on Feb 2010, and which had an answer in the first page (The OP said that he found a conflict with a Startup program).

    As you most likely have a different problem to the original thread (or the suggestions already offered would have worked for you) you should create a new thread.

    "Please help " ???

    Indeed . When you post your new thread,  help the people on the forum by being specific about your problem.

    Give full details of what is, or is not, happening including error messages, your system specifications, what games you are have a problem with, and anything else you think may be relevant.
