    Hi everyone,

    I recently upgraded my MP to RC3 and in the process switched from using the integrated HD3200 to a dedicated HD5450 video card. Starting then the refresh rate switcher stopped working for me...whenever a refresh rate change is initialized MP crashes to desktop. I haven't done a lot of debugging yet, just wanted to check if anybody has had similar experiences and/or ideas what might be happening...

    To give more details: the built-in HD3200 is still active (I haven't disabled it inside the BIOS yet), the cards both work well - TV is connected to the HD5450 now though. While this doesn't seem to be a problem display-wise, could the fact that 2 cards exists somehow interfere with the refresh rate switchers work? I also tried the device reset options etc...no change, crashes every time...

    Many thanks

    Markus

    just as a follow-up:

    The crashes seem to have stopped after disabling the onboard graphics chip. Possibly the Dynamic Refresh Rate Changing has problems determining which card to use?
