I recently built a new PC. It was about time I stepped up, I've been running a P2-233 for EVER. Problem is every time I try to load DirectX 9.0c my computer either locks up or blue screens on me during the load process. My first thought was that I got my hands on a corrupted installation, but after a few downloads from different places I believe that it is more likely my video card. Any suggestions/solutions would be greatly appreciated. Computer specs follow:
Gigabyte 7VT600P-RX Motherboard
AMD Athlon XP 3200+/512Kb cache/400Mhz FSB/Socket A/Barton Core CPU
512Mb Ultra PC3200 DDR 400 Mhz Memory
Seagate Barracuda 250Gb EIDE/8Mb cache/ATA-100 Hard Drive
XFX GeForce FX5500 8X AGP/256Mb DDRTV/DVI Video Card(NOT using DVI port right now)
Ultra Xconnect 400watt power supply
Fresh load of Windows 2000 Pro (including all MS updates except .NET)
NO other software loaded yet
Thank you in advance for any help!
