I think I have mentioned this two times all ready. And am sure, most would agree. Please, please, please keep your system at stock settings. Including the accelerator. Also I think you have installed your OS like 3-4 times. Believe me, that is not the solution to problems. It should be the last step..when all else fails, and even when God gives up hope, should a new installation be done. I have never had to do a new installation unless I was upgrading to a different OS.

The way you are troubleshooting your problem is too haphazard, so you are not seeing any results. You have a great card/system, and hiccups like this occur. I can bet you, that you can keep doing new OS installations, and the problem will not go away..!

Start with this:

1. Bring everything to stock. If you are tempted to OC, remove the OEM HSF, and put on the stock cooler. What more can I say here. Even if your memories are at lower speeds, then what you purchased them for...leave it for now. Just change the voltage settings to optimized.
2. Update the Board BIOS to latest.
3. Go to the MSI website, download the latest chipset drivers for you board. This is the first thing you should have done. How can you be running a system without chip set drivers. Its absolute mandate.
4. Work with CCC 9.12. Only. 10.2 was buggy, and 10.3 is Beta. 9.12 has proven to be stable.
5. Run the memory tests as Shripad sir has mentioned in post#14. LinX is good. Do the full RUN.
6. Run Furmark. Let it run 30-45 minutes. NO games till now. Be patient.
7. Post back.

And dood how many times have i said that i've tried with stock system settings, latest drivers & bios????
read thru my posts & u 'll get it.
also in my prev post i had mentioned that prob is more or less solved and i had run Furmark a long time back when i had oc'd the card.

It not bout irritating m8 & u dont need to apologize.
But the thing is i had mentioned before in my posts that i have tried running the system @ stock and still i was having the same issue.
Also a few posts above i had mentioned that the issue is more or less resolved and i said that wat the fault was.

I hope ur getting my point.
 
The torch bug is well known.

Here game either freezes as soon I use torch, or it quits to desktop.

They have done some shitty job on that game's coding.

You can live without INF update utility. If you wish you can try latest 1025 version ( available on Guru3D as well as intel website ) after making a system restore point.

If it still causes problem, you can easily roll back to previous state.

And 10.3 Preview Drivers has largely fixed the GSOD, lockups and crashing to desktop issue. Give those a try if you havent already. Those are labelled beta but they are by far the most stable and fastest drivers available now for ATI 5xxx.
 
I'm using catalyst 10.3, actually to be honest, I never had any any such issues since Catalyst 9.12, so far the best drivers ... 10.2 gave some much needed stability in Mass Effect, 10.3, yeah it's beta, but it's actually perfect and I guess ready to release.
 
Found out the main problem 2day.
Its the onboard audio controller.
Its a realtek controller.
If i set it above 16 bits 44100Hz not matter what the game crashes.
It doesnt even start after the cut scene.
Set it to 16 bit 44100Hz and the installed Intel INF and it worked fine.
set it above 16 bit 44100 Hz and the came crashed.
Luks like i need to get a sound card & then test.
