So i bought a Radeon 9700 Pro
Problem is that after I get in into anything 3d, it usually crashs in under 10 seconds
I have tried everything from getting new drivers to updating my chipset, fooling with power settings in bios, changing AGP speed, turning of Fast Right, etc. etc. etc.
I spent 2 hours on phone with tech support yesterday and got pretty much nowhere. The guy said it could be a power issue even though I have a 310wat power supply and it only needs a 300wat. Oddly, it works in some games and not in others, Neverwinter Nights works fine, while anything that runs on the halflife engine crashs. Even more oddly, last night halflife based things started working, i thought the problem was fixed somehow, but then today it started crashing again.
So anyways, if you have any ideas please let me know
I dont feel like wating for a geforce 5900 or blowing another hundred bones on a new power source.
