New GPU Crashes Game it Was Meant To Boost!

[Speeddemon3]

Hello All!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and are in for a prosperous new year!

I had an issue with a dead video card a month ago now I have a weird problem with my new gpu.

I reordered a card and this time went a slightly more expensive direction and purchased an MSI Geforce 1050 GTX, 2GB which I received last week.

The only reason I replaced my card was my Radeon 6850 has been "Legacied" and drivers are 2 years outdated and when I get some time I like to get into World of Warships and after a little while the frame rate begins to crap out interfering with gameplay and I'm better off in a canoe with a slingshot.

I finally hooked up my optical drive yesterday and loaded the disc and downloaded the drivers, overdrive and the supplied the utilities. Installed the card and fired up the system. Everything seemed fine but some of the video online is choppy and when I launched WOWs the launcher crashed immediately with a list of several issues, mainly memory errors. Everything works great other than the game and I have to install the old card just to play.

I am now wondering are the two compatible? And does the new DDR5 setup on the card interfere or not mesh with my DDR3 sticks? I have no idea what the f#&k I'm doing or looking for!

Please help....I would attach a copy of the error message but you can't upload.

System:

Win 7 32 Bit
Asus M5A97 Rev 2 Mobo
500 WDHD
4300 AMD Vishera CPU @ 4117.41 MHZ
8 GB DDR3 HyperX Memory - Dual Channel @ NB, 2167.1 Mz, FSB: DRAM - 3:10
GPU (Old - Radeon 6850 HD - Works with game).
(New - MSI GTX 1050 - Works with everything but game)!
450 Watt Thermaltake PSU

did you download the proper 32bit win 7 drivers from nvidia?

I have an idea that may or may not relate, but I know from my own experience, when you open a computer that's not been opened in some time, sometimes connections get flaky.

It might be worthwhile to remove your computer from power, carefully remove and reinsert the RAM, and one at a time unplug and replug all cables and connectors.

If you continue to get memory errors, you can rule out the system ram by downloading the 'memtest 86' program and letting it run on your system overnight.

Also, I would recommend a larger PSU. 450 is pretty small to run any modern GPU from.

Windows 7 32 bit only recognizes 4gb of ram, using a 2gb video card cuts that down to 2gb. That may have something to do with your problem.

no no no

4gb ram limit for 32-bit OS is well known


"using a 2gb video card cuts that down to 2gb."

ok, it does seem to be limited to 32-bit OS + 32-bit processor

so newer systems are not affected

I believe the newest limit "wall" is in the multiple terabyte range

XD
