I am able to successfully run 3dMark06 on my new setup (vista 64 bit on abit ix38 mobo, e8400 at stock, msi 4850 at 670core, 1100mem o'c).

However, at the end of the test, when I am prompted to click the button to see my score (presumably comparing it online to others, idk b/c this is my first 3dmark06 experience), the program crashes. This has happened each time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Reinstall 3D Mark 06?
Check for viruses/spyware/malware?
Run the 4850 at stock clocks?
Use Catalyst 8.6 stable drivers?

Try some of those.

This is what Vista says:

I'm afraid I have absolutely no idea what any of that means.

Just go and try some of that stuff I suggested. Do a virus scan, reinstall 3D Mark 06, clean up your computer overall, use Catalyst 8.6 for now. Just try some of that stuff and tell us if it worked or not.

working on some of that now - hopefully i'll get some good news.

I am very intrested in this as well!!!

I have an ASROCK 939Dual-SATA2 mobo AM2 cpu board upgrade with 6000+AM2 chip stock @3.0ghz, 4g ddrII800, 4870.

And 3dmark06 locks up after i click on view online score... but I have just cleaned of a trojan and a virus so .. I hope this fixes it.. Ill try it when i get home from work! Let me know if you figure it out.. ill do the same.

Crush - I have EXACTLY the same setup and 3dmark crashes for me as well at the exact same point. Just upgraded a few days ago.

u might have a version of 3dmark that doesnt recognize your card, when it comes to calculate your score and display system info in the summary it gets confused and poos its pants, hence the crash. I think this was an issue for the 2900's and 3800's aswell. I had the same problem when i first installed my 4870 and tried 3dmark. Try this link for the system info hotfix:
