General Computer Support / Programs Not Starting Up (nothing happens)
« on: March 08, 2012, 03:43:34 am »
Hey guys, I just bought a new Clevo P150HM about 2 weeks ago. Since then, I've played Shogun 2: TW (with DirectX 11 enabled), NFS: Hot Pursuit, Rage, Crysis, Co MW2 and Mass Effect all without problems. In the first couple of days, I also ran 3DMark06 and was able to go through the whole test without any problems.
Recently, I tried running 3DMark11 and for some reason, it wouldn't start. I'd see the little blue circle next to the mouse spinning a little bit and then it'd disappear and nothing would happen. A quick look in the Task Manager shows me that it's not running at all. I then tried 3DMark Vantage and got this "System info Error". Then I went back and tried 3DMark06 and now I'm getting the same error. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the programs as well as uninstalling my GFX card drivers as well as doing a Driver Sweep and then reinstalling my drivers but still the same thing. My games still worked fine though.
But now I've just installed Crysis 2 and it works fine, except for when I install the DirectX 11 Patch and then it would just not start. No black screens or errors, just nothing happens when I double click on the icon. All my other games are working fine though but they're all DirectX 9 so i have a slight suspicion it's got something to do with DirectX 11 (although the Heaven DX11 Benchmark app works perfectly). What could be causing this? I have DirectX11 installed as well as the latest Catalyst drivers installed. My specs are:
i7-2670QM
Radeon HD 6990m 2GB
16GB 1333MHz RAM
500GB 7200RPM HDD
Windows 7 Ultimate
I've just used Windows Repair but the same problem persists. Any help would be much appreciated!
