Hi all,

i thought i upgrade my pc with the best agp out there available so i could enjoy sl a lot more but its been everysince one big crash event...:(

My setup:

Asus P4C800-E-Deluxe (i875 / 800 fsb)
socket 478 P4 3.0 ghz
2x 1GB kingston 3200 400 mhz
WD 740GD Raptor
creative Audigy ZS2
Sapphire HD 3850 512 MB GDDR3 AGP
TX650W Corsair PSU
mx518 mouse
G15 keyboard

Clean original XP pro with SP3
latest drivers from sapphire site : Catalyst 8.7 HOTFIX for HD2K/HD3K AGP cards and WinXP 32 bit

i even totaly removed second life and deleted the left over folders and done fresh instal of the latest Second_Life_1-20-15-92456_setup...

I tried all kinds of settings but messing with the recommended settings to low isnt any improvement more even a increase on crashes...

Cache cleared a lot..

Send crashlog.. well i realy wonder if it sends out anything when it says it does but if it does they would have been floated by now...

Attempts throwing pc out of window: 3214 times

Any one have an idea what to do..plz tell me !!!

Now dont quote me on this exactly but I am not for sure the HD Radeon cards will work with SL. I know this is what they recommend

ATI Graphics Cards

* X800, X900, X1600, X1700, X1800, X1900
* x2600, x2900
* x3650, x3850
for ATI.

I use NVIDIA 8800 and it works wonderful.. But now that I upgraded top the newer version, My video card driver stops responding and SL crashes a lot.
