Possible fix for crash - Uninstall Riva Tuner

[speedbird5]

Hi, I was getting consistent crashes in 2.5.0

I traced the problem to Riva Tuner which provides as on screen overlay of CPU/GPU usage etc.

I uninstalled Riva Tuner and the crashes ceased, so this may be a fix for those using Riva Tuner.

Note, MSI Afterburner comes with an option to install Riva Tuner.

If you install both, when you start MSI Afterburner, Riva Tuner starts automatically. I could not find a way of stopping the Riva Tuner from starting. I tried to close it down once it had started but it re-started automatically.

I would opt to install it without Riva Tuner and then use MSI Afterburner to overclock your GPU, or uninstall Riva Tuner from the control panel if you have both installed.

It may be specific to your setup as I have been using Riva tuner with 2.5 with no problems. Thanks for posting though, if I start having problems it is something to look at.
