[9001EliteKnives]

Watched core temp during crash, normal temp.



tried motion blur off.... only longer time before crash.



and all the other usual stuff.... this is annoying

 Good to hear Neveryeild.

And what are the core temps exactly, 9001EliteKnives? Use RealTemp.  Also what driver version are you using? Have you tried downgrading to a 18x version or beta? That can help as well.

Keeping my GPU cool (60C Load) doesn't seem to do anything ;S The crash still happens. The Monitor suddenly loses signal for a few seconds. It does this several times until the everything goes black and I have to crash the game (cash the PC if I don't use windowed mode).



nvlddmkm is the driver that crashes.

Mromson, go back in this thread a little to read my earlier posts. To sum up, this error doesn't necessarily mean there is a problem with the card. (heat or otherwise)

Pardon my ignorance - but could you perhaps quote the implied solutions? Far as I could see there was nothing that could remedy my problem. It started with Mass Effect 2 (one full graphic crash here, one full graphic crash there) until the monitor started losing signal while playing ME2. However, now the Monitor will lose signal for a few seconds after merely around 1min of booting up ANY game. Watching video, etc. still works fine, but anything beyond that is completely out of the picture.

No problem Mromson, Page 2, 8th post down is where I start. Take it with a grain of salt and apply it to your situation as necessary.

Same issue as most of the other posters.  Black screen with no signal, having to press the reset key to recover.  Crashes are completely random, some coming after a few hours of gaming, others after a few minutes of loading a save.

I have tried various graphic settings in both ATI's CCC and in-game, no difference.  Have also tried disabling various start up programs and services, no difference.  Not overclocking at all however I'm pretty sure my graphics card is from the factory.

Specs:

Phenom x4 9850 Black Edition
ASUS EAH3870x2 1GB
ASUS M3A32-MVP
4GB RAM
X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty 
Windows Vista Ultimate x64
All latest drivers intsalled


After reading through most of these post I also suspect overheating.

Give the afore mentioned suggestions a try ebmccown. Can't hurt (:

Yeah, same here.

Same problem, monitor loses contact and I have to manually reboot.

Dito, I'm glad its not just me. I'm running a Nvidia 8800 GTS, 2.8 AMD 64 X2 2.8 on Windows 7 64 with 4GB of RAM.

When the crash first happened I thought that my GPU went bad. First screen would get a blue sorta of filter effect to it then would go black.  When I rebooted my PC I had no display, I couldhear the beep meaning that it clear BIOS check fine but no dipslay. After some monkeying around I got it to boot up with display. Rolled back drivers started playing ME2. Crash! Rebooted ok, updated rivers to newest beta release, started playing some other games with no problem. Started up ME2, played for a bit then crash AGAIN!! Core temp is normal.

This is a problem with ME2 and not our systems. I never had this problem but I bought a hard copy of ME1 and not through STEAM. I find the fact that their has been no official recognition of this problem nor has anyone from Bioware posted on this thread to be very troubling. I wonder if this was a problem with the 360 version of the game if they would respond faster.

I'm thinking of updating my GPU in the few months. But Not till my birthday in April at the earliest. I hope I dont have to shelve ME2 till then.

Ok, I just bit the bullet and bought a new graphics card. However I'm not touching ME2 till I hear that this problem is fixed.

[RowYerboat]

I thought Ihad solved my problem when I simply removed the cover to my case; I was able to play for hours at a time, when before it had crashed every 15 minutes or so.  Now it black screens in the middle of the Harbinger fight on Horizon, every time....so I'm bumping this.   Guess I'll go get a new fan to put in or next to the case....

[duskl1ght]

Same problem, ME1 and Dragon Age worked perfectly fine for me



Athlon 3200+, Radeon x1950



I hope ME2 hasn't permanently fried my graphics card!

Same here

All Fans clean, Casefans in the RIGHT Way (*g*)

i think ill get myself the x360 Version 'till the Bioware Guys get their Butts up and fix that

For those of us who have ruled out overheating...



I was getting the same error, about 5 to 10 min of play then bam, no signal from the graphics card. I remembered having a similar issue with ME1 that got better while playing in windowed mode instead of fullscreen. Hasn't done it since. I know, not much on the technical side for a fix, but it worked for me, might wanna give it a try.

TDR issue are usually an clear sign of hardware damage.

Windowed mode doesn't help for me. Only that the driver seems to recover - yet it only stops crashing after the windowed game goes "Black". It has something to do with DirectX. It would appear that it's the GPU, but it could easily be DirectX itself, however unlikely.

I doubt its Direct X.If your able to play other games its not DirectX.

This is just a suspicion but I wonder if ME2 is messing. And by messing up I mean completely FUBARing GPU drivers. 

I think the death of my old GPU might have been coincidently timed with ME2 crashing. But then again coincidence is nothing. Maybe later tonight I'll feel brave and start up ME2. I'm really upset that no one from Bioware has acknowledged this problem.

[duskl1ght]

So I was able to play for several hours the first time, before I encountered this crash.



Now it happens the moment I start ME2.



I can't start ANY 3d game now without my computer crashing.



Has ME2 fried my graphics card? Is there a fix?

I think ME2 is severaly messing up GPU drivers. I had a similar experince with my 8800GTS. Worked fine play Me2 fine for a few days then boom ME2 starts crashing then GPU stops putting out video. I got it to put out video again by removing the card from the mother board and booting the PC up without the card in. Then turing it off reinserting card and it booted up just fine. But then died again after starting ME2 again a few hours later.
I just gave up and bought a Radeon 5700 at that point. So try booting up the computer sans GPU, the reinserting it.

[corran360]

I've been having the same exact problem, tried almost every solution listed and still nothing. For me though there seems to be no consistency to the crashes, they can occur right after starting the game or a few hours in, the only thing i can be sure of is that it WILL happen. The only glimmering bit of hope I've had was during one crash my catalyst manager managed to "restore drivers" during the crash and the game came back up, only happened once though.

Just finished the game with my QuickShep, then I created a new character. Same crash at the same place as before (this time as an Adept). Trying to think of gameplay differences right now...

[MoriarTC]

Managed to get one full playthough with my Paragon Male from ME1 without issues.

Started on my Second "First" playthought on my Renegade female and I got the same problem.

Screen Black, Can still hear sound. Hard reboot.

Add insult to injury I lost my achivements aswell.
