Hi

I am the lucky owner of a brand new PC

AMD Monster - Phenom II 965 Quad 4x3,40GHz 8MB
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
ATI Radeon HD5850 Graphichs card with 1GB ram
and a lot of other good stuff ...

So far so good. SL runs fine with my main avatar, graphics in top, and no problems moving around anywhere .. that is just great.

But I am a creator and when I create clothes for men, I have a male alt online too for testing and fitting ... or I used to do that on my 6 years old computer.

Here is the problem that occured with my new computer.
When I put my two avatars online at the same time, I can have them there for only 1-2 minutes before I get a message that my graphics driver shuts down and the screen turns black on both SL sessions. I have to close the sessions and log back in to get a picture back. But again - it works with one avatar only.

I have tried setting the graphics in preferences even lower that I had on the old computer so it is probably not the graphics that is set too high.
Newest graphics driver for the HD 5800 series is installed.

Anyone got any idea of where to look for a solution ?


Here are the specs. that SL has detected:
CPU: AMD (Unknown model) (3415 MHz)

Assuming you have Catalyst Control Center installed, what version it that?

Have you updated the driver from the ATI-AMD site?
