HI peeps,
The story so far!!
Have just done an upgrade.
HDD, Card and OS.
I'll give you the before and after.
Before:
WINDOWS 2000 ADVANCE SERVER
RADEON 9800 XT-working all spinky with far cry all up at high res, max for all.
512 RAMBUS 800/45
The card is only 5 days old and worked fine on the above.
Yesterday bought a new 120g HD installed WINDOWS XP PRO
Installed the ASUS drivers as before, but now...........!!!
Machine resets about 30 secs into use....EVERYTIME.
On re-boot i get this message:-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPUTER RESTARTED AFTER AN UNEXPECTED SHUTDOWN.
MICROSOFT WINDOWS DETECTED A POSSIBLE DEVICE FAILURE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE DRIVER FOR THE DISPLAY DEVICE WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE A DRAWING OPERATION.
PLEASE CHECK WITH THE DEVICE MANUFACTURER FOR A DRIVER UPDATE.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE DISLPAY DRIVER FOR RADEON 9800 XT SEEMS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SYSTEM INSTABILITY.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All i've done is put a new HD in and upgraded OS.
The only way i can get it to stop giving me this problem is start in safe mode and remove the ati drivers.
Then the pc runs like lightning(prob cos theres sod all on it yet
)
Conclusion:-
Nothing wrong with the card as it worked fine when installed on old HD with Windows 2000 Ad Serv
Drivers........thats a different kettle of fish.
Downloaded the latest drivers from both the ATi & ASUS sites, run them both and still same thing.
Are there any compatability issues with XP PRO and RADEON 9800 SERIES anyone knows of?
Has anyone come across this before?
The reason i upgraded OS is the IE6 got corrupted and would not re-install,tried to fix with cd but got a corrupt file message from that!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!#
So i cant even format and put 2000 back on.
ASSISTANCE REQUIRED
Cheers & Beers
