Radeon x1800 XT - black screen

[kitan]

Sigh, okay so I replaced the videocard with a 8800gts 320mb but the problem persists... Sort of.

Speedfan acting up is normal according to their website, this mobo doesn't have any volt sensor.

Got the updated driver for the 8800 as soon as I installed it, HL2 and the likes plays for a much longer time BUT it still tends to stop and force me to manually restart. World of Warcraft is acting even stranger, randomly giving corrupted textures (like in link provided below) when in windows mode and giving long long pauses between frames at random intervals in full screen mode.



I'm completely out of ideas. :banghead:

I couldn't run catalyst drivers because I have VIA chipset and they didn't support AGP. So after a few days of updating and rolling back I found Omega drivers and now it works great - just wish I would have found that a few days ago

My voltage

Glad you solved this,but i use my ATI X1650 512 without
The Catalyst Control Panel,just the driver.
Sorry you have what you think is a bad card and spent more money.
But I don't understand Quote :
Video Card: Geforce 8800gts 320mb
Video cards are,128,256 or 512 mb.
Was that a typing error ?
How do you test your voltage ? These results don't seem right.
Try the bios readings.
I can't post attachment again.

zipperman, if u had been watching the 8800gts comes with either 320MB or 640MB mem., this is no mistake I own one of each.

Sounds like its overheating
