I have a big problem that hopefully someone here can fix.
My old system was:
Via motherboard + 1.4 amd processor
7g HD
256mb ram
3d prophet 4500 128mb
New system is :
same motherboard
Maxtor 80g HD
256mb ram
ATI 9500 pro
The problem is:
On my old system I used to play UT2k3 and various other games... everything was fine. Now on the new system when I try to play UT2k3 it starts up the game, and it goes full screen to start, but just stays at a black screen; this locks up my system, i cant alt f4, ctr alt del, or alt tab. Dues Ex does the same exact thing, except i can here the intro music playing. Recently I found out that even 3dmark2001 (a benchmark program) will start up, but when i start the demo or the benchmark itself, it goes to black screen. Also even the preview in the display for screensavers (as long as screensaver is a 3d one) will stay black, then the entire computer locks up and i must reboot.
HOWEVER: for some reason Shadowbane works perfectly.
Need help!
