Hello everyone,
I recently upgraded to the 0.3.7 series from previously using 0.2.x
series.... previously it was extremely stable, but no YUV support, hence
nothing but mpeg output on my 350. Now with the latest 0.3.7 series of
the driver, everything I attempt to play simply works! It's so
wonderful! ...other than the random system freezing I've been
experiencing. They are complete system lockups that require a power off
and power on (I also wait 30 sec between in case 350 needs time to clear
itself).
I have a few theories, but unfortunately there's so many variables I'm
not sure which way I should be pursing harder.
1) heat: I'm using an Antec Aria case, which is a small case and can
get quite warm. The only card I have in the sytem is the 350,
everything is onboard. Is it possible the new drivers are working the
card harder and is generating more heat and causing random freezes?
Note: 0.2.x series drivers never cause a complete system freeze for me ever.
If you have onboard motherboard sensors, then you can use lm_sensors to
figure out if heat is
an issue. I have a 350 too, and it also locks up about once or twice a
day. I don't think
that heat is my problem, unless 45C is too hot. In which case it might
be my problem. :) But
my motherboard rarely gets hotter than 45C.
