PC Issues, will you ever cease to be? (Cintiq trouble)
14 years ago
General
Right, this is a bit of a big one again, but I have a hard time finding a solution.
Currently, whenever I plug in my Cintiq's DVI cable, my pc will crash. Blue screen, even. I have no idea wether the problem lies with memory, the graphic card, or even the Cintiq itself, but right now it's just impossible to do any proper work on it. I -did- notice I was having issues with the graphic card/Cintiq combo (AMD Radeon HD 4850, for those who're wondering) since a couple of CCC releases ago. CCC would not play well with the Cintiq, causing its screen to flicker whenever I scrolled a page on my primary monitor, before crashing. Now, it outright crashes.
What aggrivates me most is the fact there's a 2000€ piece of hardware standing on my desk, and I can't even use it! Well... technically, I can still use the tablet portion of it, but I'm not allowed to plug in the actual DVI cable to have a properly working display.
Maaaybe some good news will be that I'm actually going to ditch this Packard Bell PC in favor of a custom build desktop with some more kick to it. I have no ETA on when it'll be done, but the guy will be coming over to my house for installation and testing the hardware. If the Cintiq still causes crashes at that point, I'm ready to accept it's a hardware issue with the Cintiq. :( Which is strange, since I hadn't changed anything about it, apart from the crashes that were caused by the new ATI CCC program.
For now, I'll be forced to work "blind" with the tablet function of the Cintiq, like a normal tablet on my primary monitor.
For shame!
Also, I'll likely write another long journal of random musings, opinions and stuff again tomorrow. There are some thing spooking through my head again :D

that sounds like a weird problem... although, that first comment is a good suggestion, look up the code
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
Though I've also had IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL pop up, and MEMORY_MANAGEMENT, and only when the Cintiq remains plugged in after further reboots when the first BSOD happened.
one last suggestion would be for you to ensure your driver is updated for the tablet... sometimes they update without us knowing =.=
