[SOLVED] it looks like my mis afterburner is conflicting with some program

[kb389]

so i overclocked my gpu using msi ab and upon startup it does open and the oc does get applied but only for a few seconds as the default clocks get applied again, the msi ab stays open though so i have to reapply the oc and this time it stays applied, so im pretty sure that happens because of some conflict with some other program which i cannot figure out.

Try running CCleaner first and do the Clean and Registry portions both.
Then start disabling stuff in your tray that starts at bootup, stuff you can run on an as-need basis instead. Do the same with Task Manager/Startup.

so looks like it was msi dragon center that was starting after it that would cause it to reset, now im finding a way to disable the dragon center.

Is MSI Dragon Center something you feel you need? If you can live w/o it, simply uninstall it.
To disable it from starting with Windows instead, see if it shows up in Task Manager/Startup. You can disable it there.

yeah i disabled it, it's a pain in the ass, takes forever to start and forever to close as well and it was this program that was conflicting with the after burner.

if you're running a Nvidia GPU, there are a lot of threads over on the GeForce forums with the mods adising MSi's Afterbiurner causes conflicts with Nvidia's drivers

2nd, there are also a lot of threads advising folks to deleter their Nvidia driver using DDU and re-installing a previously known stable driver - they claim a lot of the Nvidia drivers are buggy

here's a link to one thread, scroll down to the 3rd post, and if you try it, be sure to follow their instructions for using DDU - if you run DDU, select "installing new graphics cards" or similiar phrase for the selection and there's a link to the driver i'm still running today
