Easiest way to get BSOD with 10.6

[sniper_sung]

Please save all your current work.

Go to http://white-ra.com/en/articles/news...-is-a-deadthor and play the video. (presume you have not disabled hardware acceleration yet)

Then go to youtube and play any video straight away.

Please report the result...

Wow that kinda sux, strange that i got a few beeps and that my screen blacks out before playing a vid on that website.
Playing a youtube vid will indeed give you a BSOD.

Got an instant BSOD with 10.5 as well. Way to go ATI!

I did not get BSOD with 10.5 but however did the drivers crash

I checked that on intel and amd setup

well that's just AWESOME...

i WAS able to view youtube videos a few days ago... now that i've tried playing that video linked in the OP, i get BSOD and then on restart my BIOS hangs and i have to force shutdown and restart and reset my BIOS all over again...

this is the first time i've ever had an ATI issue... me ->

woot, gpu memory leak. i dont think that it is atis fault on that though. its using flash player so thats all in shader programing its not like its using uvd or something.

all new JW vershions do it

[Chewie_77]

My god. My system just locked up when I hit play on the first video. No BSOD or anything. WTF ATI.

[Ket]

As funny as this is, lets not forget nVidia also had this exact issue a month or so ago with their drivers.

it is ATI, go try watching a youtube video now... with any luck you wont have to reset your OC settings in bios after your BSOD restart

were do u get that, it only happens on the newest JW player and affter watching that video i got a chunk of vram nolonger detected and a memory leak. i doubt that it is driver related but its easy to blame the drivers. i can go into assembly and do this to your cpu with a memory leak and not cleaning up my tables then leaving them in protected memory affter i make it crash. this looks like a software error that will get fixed by driver forcing the memory to be cleared when the code should have done that.

and dont reset and then change settings, just power off then back on.

Nothing happened here at all, played both videos fine (site + straight YouTube video) on my sig's hardware. Perfect!

i never reset the system my self. the BSOD went to 100% and auto reset. when it did, BIOS froze. so i force shut down and turned it back on. i hit tab to view post and it showed everything back at stock. i let it go into windows and then i checked it all to make sure and everything was back to stock settings including ASUS's SmartDoctor voltage and clock setings for the graphics. had to redo the settings for the graphics and then go back into BIOS and redo all of that too.

it's because you're running a moddified physX setup which uses a slightly older catalyst that doesn't share the same issue.
