How can I know if my drive is approved before running a 3D Mark. Discussion Graphics driver not approved? I have not seen any 3Dmark approved driver for years. Uh, the driver was released late yesterday Finnish time. We're fairly quick in doing the approval testing, but not *that* quick. Allow at least one working day. Sometimes two if tests uncover anything that require further analysis. Expect the driver to be approved later today (ie. Within 8 hours of this post).

So I have been collecting different numbers and bits of data all morning. Everything from my PSU voltages, my RAM clock speeds and bench/stress scores. My specs are: AMD FX-8350, Asus R9 280, Asus 99fx pro R2.0 MB, 8gb G. Skill ripjaws, Samsung 840 Evo, 3TB HDD, Azza Dynamo 850w PSU, Windows 10, all clocks are stock.

The problem, first off, is that while playing a game (both in and out of steam), the game will crash. Sometimes I'm asked if I want to debug and sometimes not. Honestly, I can not figure out how to open Minidumps in MS VS, even though I am sure I have installed the kits for it, so i'm not going to try for a while. So, I will get a message that says, 'display driver has stopped responding and recovered.' I downloaded the newest AMD driver, 16.5.1 Hotfix, released on May 5th, 2016.

But, nothing has changed. I then ran up 3DMark Sky Diver test and got a 'Graphics driver is not approved' message after it was completed. Green Street Hooligans Script. Continuing on, I see on the 3DMark site that the 'hotfix' can cause this. Should I try a driver from ASUS (my card maker) instead?

I was advised to always use AMD or the chip manufacturer's drivers. So what do I make of all this? How do I prevent my games from crashing? I can elaborate on other measures I have taken, if wanted. Do you have latest BIOS and mobo drivers? Any OCX on the CPU?

Numero De Serie D'internet Manager. What set of RAM? And is it an actual packaged set? I found my mobo on the Asus sight and I have the newest bios update. I haven't changed any clock speeds. I even checked and all my CPU and DRAM timing controls are set to 'auto'. I've got 2 sticks of 4GB G.

Skill Ripjaws RAM, packaged together. I was just playing KSP and though I went longer than usual without a crash, it finally happened and I got a WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR. I checked event veiwer for the bugcheck and got: 'The bugcheck was: 0x00000124 (0x000000, 0xffffe001ccab4028, 0x000000, 0x040151).'

I do not know how to read/decipher them though.
