Hey, just put my new leadtek a400 6800nu in, after using a bfg 6800ultra.

Get random black screens every now and then, rather odd. Searched around a bit, seems the problems could be, my gcard drivers (66.81), the bios or directx 9.0c.

Anyone else get problems like this?

I got a random lockup before it seemed, but I thought it might be fastwrites as I had that issue before :/

Spec in sig.

I had those as well.

If you play counterstrike, try to use scope looking into or thru a smoke grenade. It will lock up almost every time.

If you play generals you will have an occasional lock up at the start of the game.

BFG H20 cooled 6800U on the shelf at Frys for $600

what do you recommend I do mate?

also it seems to just lockup while installing ultima online, i swear this happened to me before in the exact same place with my 9800pro, however I believe turning fast write off got rid of the problem, not this time tho! :/

btw, any directx removal tools?

Why did you go from an ultra card to a non ultra
