CCC Fail?

[diluzio91]

So i finally got my 6850 back, went in and installed the drivers, played some games. Its working great. I notice that the fans are running a little high, so i go to CCC to change them, and when I click on CCC, Nothing happens. My cursor spins for a couple seconds, then nothing. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times, Including once in safe mode. I'm at my wits end here. I need CCC!

i had this same issue when i flashed my bios. i even went back tot he original bios and still had the issue. i just kept messing with ti uninstalling it and running cc cleaner and drive sweeper to get it to work. ccc has a mind of its own sometimes.

I myself am having such a problem with my computer currently. I installed the software that was included with the video card, including an earlier version of Catalyst Control Center, and CCC worked perfectly well, but when I upgraded to a newer version of the program, it would not open. This is even more unusual because when I performed the same upgrade on a different computer, the new version of CCC would function normally.

For further information, here are the relevant specifications of the two computers that I am using.

Computer 1
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 945, 3 gigahertz
Operating System: Windows 7 Home edition (64-bit version)
Memory: 4 gigabytes (2 X 2 gigabytes) DDR3 SDRAM, dual-channel
Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 4870, 1 gigabyte GDDR5, 256-bit interface

Computer 2
Processor: I actually cannot recall its exact specifications, and I do not have it with me currently, but it is a quad-core Intel processor with an operating frequency of 2.6 gigahertz.
Operating System: Windows 7 Professional edition (32-bit version)
Memory: 4 gigabytes (2 X 2 gigabytes) DDR2 SDRAM
Video Card: AMD Radeon HD 4300/4500, 512 megabytes GDDR3

I installed the earlier version of Catalyst Control Center on both computers, and it functioned without problems on both of them, and I then upgraded the program on each of them, but it then functioned on only the second computer. I thought that it may have been because I was running the 64-bit version of Windows 7 on the first one, but I had been certain to download the 64-bit version of the program, and it had functioned perfectly well before. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the program and drivers more than once, but that did not resolve my problem, either, so I am not entirely certain what else I should do. If anyone can assist me on this subject, I would be very grateful. Thank you very much.

Q6600 is your proc in question.

Yes, now that you have stimulated my memory, I do recall that that is the processor that my second computer has. Did you know by the specifications that I provided, and is it relevant to this subject?

i got far worse performance with ccc installed versus windows 7 drivers... i am running windows 7 drivers now instead

The drivers for my video card work perfectly well; it is the program that allows me to change custom settings for my video card that is not working. Whenever I attempt to open it, either nothing at all happens, or I receive an error message. It is very annoying, so I am hoping that I can resolve it relatively easily and painlessly.

i am thinking you may be able to get a third party software fan controller that will do what you want and you can do without CCC just my two cents with my last two experiences with CCC.

The fan on my video card is very loud, so any way to make it less so would be very appreciated, but I also am seeking tools for controlling other settings of the video card, such as 3D settings or its clock rate, so if I cannot get Catalyst Control Center to function, I shall find an alternative program.

I will do some research because of as of late I have been looking at liquid cooling and havent looked at air cooling in a long while. If I find a good alternative I will report back here first.

Rivia tuner should be a help for non CCC card control.
