I need help!

ivan_spanjic · 08-07-2007, 09:39 AM

I have a problem with my SAPPHIRE RADEON 9600 ATLANTIS.Whenever I play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. or HALF-LIFE 2 for about half an hour picture first freezes and than blackscreens and all i can do is to restart my computer.
I use 7.6 CATALYST drivers and when i install some other version the problem stays unsolved.I got AMD ATHLON XP 2100+, ASUS A7V8X,SAMSUNG SyncMaster 755DFX Monitor with newest drivers installed.
Please help!

I don't know but i think that drivers might be a problem.

ivan_spanjic · 08-09-2007, 06:01 AM

ASUS pc probe says that voltage is OK.

if it were the drivers you would expect a bsod error indicating a driver problem
what colour is the monitor power light when it blackscreens
what power supply do you have in it
brand
wattage
amps on the 12v+ line[s]

It is yellow.My power supply is MS 400W ATX P4
12,586 amps.
Sometimes when my monitor blackscreens ati catalyst pop ups VPU Recovering and says:
Your computer has recoverd from a serious problem, you have to report to ati this problem.
Before this card i had nvidia 4200ti 128mb and i didn't have these problems.
My friend gave me this one but he didn't have these problems.
This is what bothers me.

12v+ amps =?
it needs to put out 18amps on the 12v line[s]

ivan_spanjic · 08-10-2007, 01:35 PM

dai · 08-10-2007, 01:47 PM

take the side off the case and you will find the information label on the side of the psu

ivan_spanjic · 08-10-2007, 01:53 PM

ivan_spanjic · 08-10-2007, 01:55 PM

dai · 08-10-2007, 02:03 PM
