ATI Radeon 9800 Pro: monitor goes black

Baranov · 10-30-2005, 08:03 AM

Hi,

First of all this is my comp specs:

Microsoft Windows XP
Home edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 1

Power Spec
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz
512MB of RAM

ATI GRADEON 9800 Pro

In my task bar i have normally running:

Panda
SWdoctor
Messenger
Deamon tools

The problem:

When i try to play a 3d game on my comp, the screen get all black and the green light of the monitor becomes orange (wich means it's idle). Before it gets like that i can notice various pixels in the game that are only white or black (sometimes red). When i try to push the button to turn off my monitor it works. But when i pressed again to turn it on the light stays orange. This leaves me with no coice but to shut down my comp. When i turn the comp back on everything works fine.

Yesterday I reformated my computer. Wiht the config you have seen at the beguinning. I installed black and white 2 to test, see ifthe problem persisted. It did. When i choose my creature i notice red pixels around them.

Please tell what is going on. I have yhe ATI driver installed but not the ATI Catalyst center
