Ok, i just got some new stuff today.. PowerColor Radeon 9700 Pro, Asus A7N8X Deluxe Motherboard, Athlon XP 2100, 512mb PC3200 corsair. The Video card has a slight arctifact on the bios screen.. it has two grey short lines that appear when the bios first shows. I tried it in windows xp and 2000, when windows is loaded after a mintue or so the screen gets weird arctifacts, stuff starts distorting, and then it freezes. This only happens after installing the latest ATI drivers from their webstite. When windows had no drivers installed there was no problem. I think when i first started the computer i accidentally set the AGP voltage to 1.7.. could that have done it? Its at 1.5 now. Well.. thanks.. let me know.
UPDATE- I PUT THE VIDEO CARD IN MY FRIENDS COMPUTER (ASUS NFORCE1 MOBO, 512 PC2100, ATHLON XP 1800+) AND IT HAS NO PROBLEMS AT ALL.. THE GRAPHICS ARE WONDERFUL AND THE VIDEO CARD WORKS PERFECT! BUT HE IS RUNNING IT AT 4X (ALL HIS BOARD CAN DO) DO YOU THINK THAT IT JUST HAS A PROBLEM RUNNING AT 8X OR WHAT? LET ME KNOW IF YA HAVE ANY IDEAS I SHOUDL TRY.. THANKS!
