Turn off VPU recover, useless tool and can cause issues..
In smartgart, turn off fastwrite. I have very few crash issues with my 9600XT with those off and not overclocking, overclocking above 500Mhz causes lots of crashes. Best of luck. |

Welcome to owning an ATI card, the worst piece of crap ever to hit PCs since HP's products.

I would be interested to know if there's a statistically significant MTBF difference between AMD-32 and AMD-64 systems with ATI cards. It seems like there's been a higher number of people complaining about Radeon issues with AMD-64 CPUs.
Then again, it could be a combination of market exposure, and the fact that early adopters are more likely to understand the signficance of system settings when they ask for help. _____________________

I dunno bout the AMD 64 problem, but perhaps it is a "cheapie" ATI Radeon card u have there??
See this post I just posted: /111/cc/23082/1.html#post219286 Make sure you have the latest Catalyst drivers.  Arti PS - my system is a P4 2.4ghz, ASUS P4P800 mobo, 1GB PC3200 RAM, Gigabyte ATI Radeon 9600pro 128mb, 3mbit cable connection, just for comparison. _____________________

i got a error about grathic card drivers I actually didn't see that before. You need to upgrade to the latest video drivers. If the ones Artillo recommends still have problems, try the 3rd-party Omega Drivers. _____________________

Same Issue Here
03-12-2006 07:23
Athlon 64 3000+ Processor
Gigabyte GA-K8VM800M V2 Motherboard 1GB DDR400 RAM Gigabyte ATI RADEON 9600PRO 256MB Installed the Omega Drivers, Turned off VPU Recovery, as well as FastWrite and lowered the AGP to 4X, and I last about 3-5 minutes before the screen goes black and I have to hardboot the system I have also disabled the onboard LAN and Sound Cards in the BIOS. Any help would be greatly appreciated. UPDATE: I found the solution for my issue. When I checked Gigabyte's website, I found that an updated flash to the BIOS addressed this issue, and after completed, I cranked my 9600 back up to 8X and ran SL with no issues |
