So I just got this thing for Xmas, and when I play games like Grand Theft Auto 3, it runs fine for a bit but then the game freezes, loops sound and previous motions, then my comp reboots.
In Giants: Citizen Kabuto, the game will run fine for 15 mins of online play, but then the round ends, I go back in for another, and not 2 minutes before my comp reboots...
Games which aren't so intense like Counter-Strike (Half-Life mod) do not seem to be effected.
So my only assumption is that it's overheating or the mememory isn't being dumped or something :S
When I play Giants, as it loads, the screen will show the last image of the last thing my video card produced even after a reboot. Shouldn't all memory be wiped when the comp is rebooted?
Thanks a million for any help! I will be returning this card to where I bought it if I do not resolve this soon.
PS: This never happened with my Radeon 8500 LE 128mb.
My System:
OS: Windows 2000
CPU: AMD Athlon 900Mhz
RAM: 256mb
MoBo: EPoX EP-8KTA3
Drivers Version: 41.09
