Playing any games be they direct 3d or openGL with my Gecube Radeon 9800 Pro 128 meg graphics card produces one of the four below results every time:
- System automatically reboots with no warning
- Screen goes black but system still functioning (Can hear game being played)
- System hangs completely and requires a manual reboot
- All open programs exit and I get an ATI VPU report
I've tried endlessly to solve this problem. I've already tried the below:
- Formatting the windows drive
- Installing the most up-to-date motherboard drivers
- Installing graphics card drivers directly from ATI
- Installing graphics drivers from the chipset maker ( http://www.gecube.com.tw/ )
- Buying a 300watt power supply as recommended in the product manual
- changing AGP settings in the ATI control pannel
- Sending back the card and getting a replacement to eliminate the possibility of a faulty card
- installed xp serivce pack 1
- Checked with another AGP based card to check it wasnt a faulty AGP slot
And I'm still at a loss. I'm completely stumped and would greatly appreciate any input anyone can offer.
