Go to this link and download AMD's driver auto-updater. It will check for updates and if you don't have the newest drivers it will install the new ones.
http://support.amd.c...uto_detect.aspx

I used this, downloaded the driver it said, and pressed install. after that nothing special happened. It just filled out the bar and that was it. And when i go to DxDiag nothing has changed, so the driver hasnt changed.

I would have to guess that your graphics card is dying/overheating given your symptoms, this wouldn't be a driver issue.

"Update driver" only updates the windows generic driver, not the actual one from the manufacturer.

However, your graphics card driver is also unsupported by Mists:

https://us.battle.ne...Wsupportedvideo

Go to the AMD site and update it.

My graphics card is supported. on the link you provided it said that Radeon HD 5 series was supported. So thats not the problem. Also on the game cover a older card stands on the "recommended requirements" thing.

Its indeed the driver thats the problem, and when i have tried to update the driver, it has resulted in a Bluescreen. 5 times now....

EDIT: i managed to resolve the graphics issue. I had to change the game preferences from DirectX 11 to DirectX 9. But i still want to learn how to update my driver, so please go on.

HELLO!

I have recently noticed a strange graphics bug when playing WoW: MoP and got to hear that i might have to update my graphics card driver. But! I don´t know how to do it! I know how to manage about in the Device manager, and see what version stuff have.

I use an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 512 Mb GPU.

When i open the device manager and go to the display adapters, i press on properties and check the version. It says 8.682.1.0 and that the driver date is 12.9.09

If i press on the "Update Driver" button, and navigate further, it says that the driver i updated with the newest update, even though it says 12.9.09 and there are new updates (latest one came a couple of days ago) ready for download.

I could really use some help by some of you technology wizards.

Thanks,

Only a few things I would like to say about this building, lets start with the good:
You show good architecturaltalent, and know what you need to make a castle.
Yet despite that a few things need changing, one, the glass bit on the roof is terribble. Two, you need to work on placing of torches
(mebbe a better texture pack?)

Yeah, well, i built this as a replica from a picture, so that explains the glass, and im used to place torches by the windows, so it came out like this. xD No problems, ill just remove them or do something else to make it look better.
Thanks for the feedback!

Hey guys, Sjotrik here, and I have just spent 4 hours building myself a little castle in Creative mode.
Now, my ass hurts abit from all this sitting, so I need to go for a little walk...

My task to you guys, is to decide what goes into this castle! I would prefer if it sticks to the medieval theme, as this is my intention.

Currently, I have decided myself that I will build a throne room ( Duh )with a large dining hall, along with a treasury, dungeon, and kitchen. Now YOU must help me to bring this castle to eternal glory!
The castle is now currently a empty shell, but i will make more floors and many more rooms to put your ideas in it.

Write a post here with what you would like to put in this castle, where to put it, and any other info you´d like to share.

I will make another thread later when the entire castle has been filled up with the ideas of you guys, and credit each player for their idea. So this will be a MineCraftForum castle, so to speak, hehe.

Now, are you guys ready? Here comes the pics!

A little show-off picture C: This is how the castle looks like. (internets to those who can tell where i got the design from.)




A top-down view of the castle. The castle have roughly the same design from the inside, although this can be changed:



A picture of how it looks on the inside; I will add more floors and rooms, filling it with your ideas:



And a last show-off picture to show what it looks like. ^^ It´s fairly large, so space will not be a immidiate problem.





THAT was it, if you have any ideas to change the castles exterior design to look even better, feel free to post so, i gladly take criticism and ideas to improve my building.

Many thanks,

-Sjotrik

I had some TNT and pressure plates to spare, so i went into the spawning city and made myself a little minefield.

It took about 5 minutes, and then i heard a little "BOOM" in the distance. xD
God the lulz.

Well, i can come up with some ideas, but im best with theme-based building

So, do you want a city? A large mansion?

Hard, Time consuming, Dangerous and probably certain death...

...What are we waiting for?!

What could POSSIBLY take 9 Double chests of cobble?! o.O
Whatever this fella have in mind, post pics damn you! *shakes fist* This i got to see!

Godtheexcitement!!

OH GOD THE POTENTIAL!

You have the coolest mountain ever.
Consider making a road with a bridge, guard tower and drawbridge to your mighty fort, just to the top right of your blocky hand.

This can end up incredibly awesome if given alot of time.

Actually, the ambient cave sounds scare me more than any mob in this game. o.O
It´s weird.. sounds, not frowning faces or "Twang" sounds from the darkness... cave sounds...

Alt nødvendig for selve PC'en er der. Etter mus/tastatur og ekstradeler som du valgte selv er 13000 en rimelig pris.

Supert! jeg har fått lagret alle linkene til en senere anledning.

Hoverkortet og skjermkortet er kompatibelt (med mindre det står feil på komplett).
En PSU vil ikke påvirke ytelsen din men den er likevel en viktig del av PC'en. Dersom du har for lite W vil ikke PC'en boote, eller den vil slå seg av midt i spill. Generelt er 500W mer enn nok. Dersom du kjører flere skjermkort vil du trenge mye mer kraft. I en PC som din vil man ikke merke forskjell på 500W or 1000W.

Jeg skjønner.

Tusen takk for hjelpen igjen, har vært veldig nyttig, og sjekket gjennom alle tingene på den siden du linket meg, og prisen kom nå på 13000 totalt, etter å ha tatt med alt du skrev, i tillegg til skjerm, mus, tastatur, høyttalere og alskens ekstrasaker.
Da har jeg lært leksa!

Ha en fortreffelig kveld!

Hvis du har 2500kr ekstra er dette her verdt det. Dersom du bygger PC'en selv bør du velge en Asus Geforce 680. Det er verdens kraftigste skjermkort som kan kjøpes av en vanlig person. Det koster litt mer enn skjermkortet du allerede hadde valgt men er mye kraftigere og definitivt verdt det. Dersom du velger en 680 vil ingen spill stoppe deg (alle spill på max uten lag).

Takk! Vet du noe om kompatibiliteten til kortet i forhold til Motherboarded på det du linket tidligere og sånn eller?
Og hva har effekten til en PSU og si? hadde en 1000 W gjort en forskjell på noe kontra 750W for eksempel?

Quote from Huntlocker

All proccessor have ''cores''. The i5 2500k has 4 cores, which is okay because very few programs use more then 1-2 cores, so adding extra cores will not add performance. Mainly the difference between the i5 2500k and the i7 2600k is that the i7 uses a thing called ''hyper-threading''. It creates ''virtual cores''. The i7 has 8 ''threads'' (aka 8 ''cores'').
The reason for people hating on the i7 is that since few games even use 2 cores so the virtual cores are unneeded. Very few people will fully use the power of an i7, and due to it's price the people that recommend them are disliked/shunned.
Some programs (mainly videoediting and 3d modeling) do use all 8 threads of an i7, so if you do any of those as a hobby/job the i7 is fit for you.

The reason so many people have the i7 and it's good for gaming is because it's essentially the i5 2500k with more cores (but same performance).

Now thats a cool piece of knowledge. Thanks! I guess this might also change the outcome in my wallet as well. xD
