I just bought this card and it works fine in Windows XP, but I cannot get it to work with Windows Vista(32 Bit). I have tried many versions of ATI's Catalyst drivers and I always get a blue screen of death :( I contacted HIS tech support and they told me to look for an updated gart driver and the latest Catalyst driver. I have the latest drivers, but no luck... HIS support won't email me back with help anymore. This card was supposedly certified for Windows Vista! My Sapphire x800 256mb card works fine with Vista.


Athlon 64 3700+

What is your Power Supply? How many Watts does it have and how many Amps are on the 12v rail.
Make sure you are using the Vista Drivers not the XP ones. And Vista is completely up-to-date.

Ok, ur PSU will handle it. Altho its not a very good brand. Buying a cheap brand usually doesn't have the same performance has a high-end PSU with the same specs. But before we jump to conclusions. Test your RAM. Use the Memtest86 in my sig. If you dont have a floppy drive use the ISO one.

mojo0716

Huh? Since when is Antec a bad brand/cheap?

I will test the memory.

Aus_Karlos

Oh. Lol all i saw was the model and thought it was a brand name..

mojo0716

mojo0716
