I have just got a Radeon 9550-256mb graphics card. Ever since I've started using it, Maya Motionbuilder le crashes randomly. It freezes up for about 5 - 10 seconds, then the monitor light flicks to orange, and the screen goes blank with "no signal" written at the bottom.
Does anyone know what's going on and if there's anything I can do about it?
may be a hardware or driver problem...boot up your computer in safe mode to load the default windows driver and see if you're still having problems. If you are, you know its a hardware problem. If not, try a different driver, either the most recent or an older one.
How do you start up in safe mode? I know that normally when the computer crashes it comes up with the warning screen when you restart, but with this it just turns on as normal.
It works fine in safe mode. I think I've got the most recent driver, I'll have a look for older ones to try. Is there any way of finding out what the most recent driver is?
if it works in safe mode ...then alot of stuff happens ..you are taken down to easiest drivers to get anything up and any hardware accelaration is shut off also ...so it could be your hardware accelartion got shut off ..also a couple other things are cut off ...
You can have cards that are not on the list and work ..I know one i have is not on it but does fine ... so that is not always true ..Also liek previous said ...drivers older or new ..or even drivers that have been modified might work ...
also I would update to your maya to lastest version if you have not done already
Thanks, I've looked it up, my graphics card is not said to be compatible. Does this mean that I will need to get a different one, or is there some way of making the current one work?
well some cards you can get to work and some you cant ... I would just go with easy one and go buy another card ..cause if you twek your card sometimes you lose other options in maya ...if you can ..find a buddy with a card and try his in your pc ... if not I would go buy antoher one ..I had to buy one myself but works great now ..256 meg card works for now til i get another one
