Hi,

Just a couple of comments. (edit: What a bunch of garbage, i was actually very long winded....sorry)

First of all, the temp on your CPU is rather high for at-idle. However, still within normal specs for a Prescott. It would be real interesting to see what thay baby gets up to while playing the game that tanks it. Might be worth while to give that a try, although that does not on first glance appear to be an issue.

I don't know much about your Jeantech power supply so difficult to know much about it. Might be a good idea to look on the side or back of the power supply and tell us how many amps on that 12 volt rail. That would be indicative of information that might help.

The third thought. Have you given any thought to trying the Omega drivers for this card. IMHO, they really are the best for the card that you have. Here is a link and some thoughts you want to consider if you wish to explore that option:

Some times when the ATI drivers don't work, you can get better success with the Omega drivers. Here is a link if interested that tells you how to uninstall others and then a link for Omega:

What is the full uninstall procedure I must follow if I want to remove the XX drivers from my system?

Before you start this full uninstall procedure, make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest version of Driver Cleaner; if you are using my drivers then a special version of Driver Cleaner is already included.

Clean procedure to remove old drivers

1. Go to the Windows Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs section.

2. Uninstall the ATI Control Panel or Catalyst Control Center, don’t restart.

3. If uninstalling the Omega Drivers, uninstall Radlinker (if using an old driver set).

4. Uninstall the existing driver set, restart.

5. Boot your PC in safe mode.

6. Run Driver Cleaner, restart afterwards.

7. If uninstalling the Omega Drivers, now uninstall the Setup Tools from the Start Menu.

8. Now you can install any driver you like.

Here is the link to Omega Drivers:

Hope I have not flooded you with too much at one time, but what the heck, take a look and post back with questions or concerns.
