Dunc Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 3DMark 11 has found DirectX 11 system files, but your graphics adapter reports that it supports only Direct X 9_3. 3DMark 11 requires both DirectX 11 system files and DirectX 11 capable hardware to run. If you are certain that you have DirectX 11 hardware present, there may be a problem with your video drivers. See 3DMark 11 FAQ for more information. Am guessing that this is the reason my comp is crashing I am being told that direct x 11 can not be set back to 9.3 Anyone know how to solve this without formatting ?????????

James Osborne Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 you should have previous versions of directx still available just sounds like 3d mark needs dx 11 which is supported by the 2 most recent gens of graphics cards iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Do you have the latest graphics card drivers? Check, and if not, then you should download any new ones. What's your graphics card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Yep got latest drivers that's where the problem as come from I should not of installed them Marc any ideas ???????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Is there an option to roll-back your drivers? There should be, if you look around in your system...but without knowing your OS I can't tell you where to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Elyse is right. You should be able to roll back drivers in device manager if you go to the properties of the graphics card. You got system restore switched on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Done roll back and done system restore to day I bought the comp ( the joys I going to have putting everything back lol ) will see how it goes I had already thought of doing this yesterday before I asked but everything I read on direct x 10 says you cant go back Soon find out Thanks for the tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunc Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Not happy its still doing it :mad: What operating system? windows 7 What graphics card? NVIDIA Geforce 7100/Nvidia nforce 630i with the driver 8.15.11.8637 Why do you want to run 3DMark 11? seemed like a good test to try as to me I think the vid card is on its way out. And as for your comp crashing, was it ok prior to driver update? No was the reason I updated it in the 1st place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mart and Mishka Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Ah so its onboard vga, Are you using 32 or 64 bit? You could stick an add on gfx card if there is a slot for it. I think thats the same chipset as in my work pc and it seems to be ok for the odd game I have on it with Win7 64. AFAIK its complete chipset and gfx drivers in one, but a while since I did it. Win7 64 bit: http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/nforce-vista-win7-64bit-15.56-driver-uk.html Win7 32 bit: http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/nforce-vista-win7-32bit-15.56-driver-uk.html Are they always blue screen crashes? or random resets?

Boondog Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 tried a chkdsk from bios? can sometimes identify and fix issues, also M$ website has win7checker, as for the driver, find your old version;save to file, uninstall current driver. reinstall old. maybe also worth checking system device's see if there are any issues within *device manager can usually highlight a few bugs. wouldnt surprice me that the PCI bus on the processor/graphic issue. Its very common issue on M$:Win7 if youve upgraded from vista and didnt back up/save your graphic driver - as win7 cannot find it after the upgrade? AS good as Win7 is as astand alone product - its deply flawed with older PC's post upgrade. (IMO) Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boondog Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Nvidia_graphics_processing_units Sorry more Q's: "And as for your comp crashing, was it ok prior to driver update? No was the reason I updated it in the 1st place." The dx11 drivers "should be fine", the "hardware should" be fine with your system config/processor; when it crashes what were you running or trying to run at the time;IE when did this first happen/what was going on? Also these files: C:\Windows\Minidump\013112-16707-01.dmp C:\Users\Dunc\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-290536-0.sysdata.xml Whats the info contained?

Boondog Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 OK Change of mind, you must update to a newer Grphx Card. Period. The 7100 series was introduced on August 30, 2006 and is based on GeForce 6200 Series architecture. This series supports only PCI Express interface. Only one model, the 7100 GS, is available.[1] Features The 7100 series supports all of the standard features common to the GeForce 7 Series provided it is using the ForceWare 91.47 driver or later releases, though it lacks opencl/CUDA support, and its implementation of Intellisample 4.0 lacks GCAA. However it is important to note that 7100 series does not support technologies such as: high dynamic range rendering (HDR) and UltraShadow II. [edit] GeForce 7100 GS Although the 7300 LE was originally intended to be the "lowest budget" GPU from the GeForce 7 lineup, the 7100 GS has now taken its place. As it is little more than a revamped version of the GeForce 6200TC, it is designed as a basic PCI-e solution for OEMs to use if the chipset does not have integrated video capabilities. It comes in a PCI Express Graphics Bus and 512MB DDR2 VRAM. Performance specification Graphics Bus: PCI Express Memory Interface: 64-bits Memory Bandwidth: 5.3 GB/s Fill Rate: 1.4 billion pixel/s Vertex/s: 263 million Memory Type: DDR2 with TC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boondog Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Dunc A little off topic forgive me, but maybe worth adding here, im looking to build a PC for my own gaming experiance; now to buy what i would like would set me back from a major retailer £1500 easy. if i buy it my self £400-600. it will take whatever i throw at it. NB: *Depending on which chip: but for streaming solely you could build a almost top end rig for £350 with AMD. I use a site called "Novatech" for my gear, but here is what im buying, I will account for the variables too. i7K/i5K – SandybridgeK Q4 – 3.8GHZ - £150/219 (the K’s can be Overclocked to 5ghz with good cooler) (i5 is better if you dont need hyperthreading) if your not bothered processor type then go for the AMD hex's @£120 DDR3, they are getting good reviews. DDR3 RAM 4gb corsair vengeance £20 Sata HD £.50 DVD+_ RW -£ 20 NVidia Graphics’ Card (DX11 1.5GB) –£59.99 Motherboard – ASUS p67 (USB 3) - £70- £110 Sound - £20 Cooler £80 Power £45 Regards Boondog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Them specs look good m8 Tried to look up NVidia Graphics’ Card (DX11 1.5GB) –£59.99 on that site but cant see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boondog Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 this is one im most likely gonna plump for: http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/nvidiageforcegraphicscards/nvidiagt520series/gv-n520d3-1gi.html For clarification puposes and for fair discussion; I will be using my build for a flight sim (FSX) - that is heavily dependant on the processor and not the graphix card (90/10) - hence why i can get away with a slim one: but for your needs, this would also do! but if your gonna do heavy gaming or more than one monitor then up the graphix card budget to suit your needs.

I don't do gaming at all but it seems that running HDMI on the tv as a second monitor is what is killing mine so I will take your advice and have to up the budget.
