hi,
i have an older system and since my graphic card died I have bought an old radeon 9800 pro card.
I am using normally linux where I had no problems with the 9800.
Then I have tried to install windows which ended always in a frozen black screen after the winlogo when I installed the drivers, but works on vga mode.
So i tried different drivers but none has worked.
Then I tried to use 3d games in linux to check if the card is ok.
It crashes also in linux when I open a 3d application.
The glxgears command which shows 3 3d gears turning and shows the 3d works in a small window but crashes in a bigger window.
So is it possible that the 3d acceleration is somehow defect but works with 2d and small 3d windows ?
or is it a overheating problem ?
Or is it the PSU, which is also a new one with 350 W.
Thanks in advance,
andro
