ATI Mobility M6 problem!!
Anybody got an ATI Mobility M6 and playing Delta Force Black Hawk Down?
I have had the game for months and months and played it numerous times but recently the dreaded blue screen appears the second i click the BHD icon!! It then displays the blue screen saying that there was an error in the graphics on ..... then gives loadsa numbers!!
Anybody else have this problem using this graphics card?
Any help would be appreciated

If it crashes, your chip is probably dying. The only other thing you can try is to update your video drivers, reinstall directX, or reinstall the game itself and see if that makes it go away. You also might want to check your system memory using Memtest86+
I'll try a benchmark on it. If the card is dying its only had about 11 months life!!! which doesnt seem likely!!
Laptop heat can be addressed too, but if the video adapter is damaged, you're right - it's too late. They make cooling products for laptops or you can make sure that you keep the heatsink and fan very clean and dust free.
If the memory test doesn't come up with any problems I will take one of the dimms out and see if it will run on just one.
My heatsink is generally very clean, but the area on the case around it does get hot. What can I do to address this?
I was also thinking, the first time i used the game was when I didnt have service pack 1 installed, and it maybe since i have installed it, the game hasnt run properly. Is there anyway of un-installing sp1? i remember an option to choose to allow u to un-install it but i dont think i took the option.
I would appreciate if you could let me know if you get any resolution to this issue, I will try some things my end and let you know if i have any luck.
The VGA driver I am using is for a M7 version 6.13.10.6043.
I havent tried any other vga drivers as the manufacturer of the laptops do not have any other version's available.
I would be surprised if it is a service pack 1 issue, as I run the game fine on a desktop system with service pack one installed.
I play far more graphically advanced games with out problems.
Also, does anybody know how to address a problem with over heating laptops! I shud probably start a new thread for this or sumfin! Yea actually I will! lol
this will work as log as you laptop fans don't have the intakes on the bottom of the laptop
what drivers are you using for them(never mind you already posted them, they are kinda old)
the omagas work just fine on ATI mobile chips

that is what i use on mine
make sure you have DX9 installed with the newer drivers
sounds like an game error before it evens starts the game?
just a thought
how did you reinstall the game?
I will let you know if i have any success.
Cheers
