Hi I was given the above graphics card from a mate and all was well for a while but every now and again it'd either crash or there'd be no signal going to the monitor.
updating the the diver seemed to fix one problem but soon another would come along the latest being whenever I put a disc into my dvd drive the computer crashes.
microsoft always tells me the problems were caused by the ati drivers.
i've tried all the drivers dating back to may and still cant get it going properly.
it runs my games like a charm and the fan on it works so got no idea what the problem is.
also thought it was the power supply but checked the requirements and thats fine as well.
running vista ultimate, 2 gig of ram, intel dual core 2.66ghz and the motherboard is ecs P4M900T-M(V1.0).
just giving this one last go before I go and get either the Nvdia GeForce 8600GT or the slightly cheaper 8500 card.
any help woudl be much appreciated.
