OK Flashing it is out then definatly.
Its realy weird because when I first installed the card it was more
frequent, And It crashed also, and XP told me it was my Vid drivers
They were cat 3.6 Once I went to version 3.7 it ran fine until today And then POOOOF Did it again :(
Gona try...
:cheers:
Thanks so much for the info guys!!!!! I realy apreciate your Help
And Thanks also for geting rid of my conspiricy theory about the Nforce
Mobo.
Im gona try all the advice you have given me and If all
else fails I will swap the card over for a new one:cool:
Just one more...
AMD XP 2800+
MSI Nforce 2 MOBO
1Gig DDR400 Dual Chanel
Radeon 9800 PRO 256 DDR II
60 gig HDD
SB Audigy 1
22inch philips Brilliance
Logitech THX 5.1
Antech 1080 soho server (With glass side panel and etched HL2 Logo)
Needless to say I will never own my House at this rate.
CHEERS
Mmmm All the latset drivers are on my system (for everything)
The system recognises the card and I have no problems playing
any games, Just the odd artifacting upon starting up my sys.
As for the ATI and Nvidia confliction theory
I think your right and Im Parranoid hehe :bounce:
Hello everyone, I recently purchased a 9800 pro 256
Once I installed the card I did a full reinstall of windows XP,
to make sure no residual Nvidia junk was messing with my
new ATI card.
But then I realised that my motherboard was an
Nforce 2 and I am using the latest Nvidia drivers for...
I also purchased a 5900 ultra And I am the first to admit that it was my blatent pigheadedness that Nvidia could'nt do wrong with their gfx
cards, that got me into this mess.
Im just glad that a bit of smooth talking at my dealer got me
my dosh back, and a 9800 pro on order.
I agree with DOOManiac on his last point, Man the 3dfx VS Nvidia days were cool :) I also remember 3dfx having the same raw power over quality ethos that Nvidia now seem to suffer from.
