ATI and MSI problem

hi

Got a Connect3D ATI X1550 pci-e video card and it hangs each time i access any 3d stuff , any ideas?

heres my specs:

Mboard: K9vgm-V AM2 latest bios.
Ram : 1GB DDR 667
HDD : 200gb pata
CRT Monitor 17 "
500W PSU

2D works fine , just each time I load a game or access Catalyst control panel it hangs sometime reboots the PC.

Tried fresh install of XP, with no joy.

Anyone any ideas if this card works on this board? I see on the MSI site it says no X300 based ATI cards but is this related to my problems at all?

cheers

hi

Cleaned drivers each time i installed new ones.

def not strain on system , if I start a game for example running no other applications at all - as soon as it comes to any 3d bit the whole pc freezes , another example is when i ran 3dmark03 it starts to render the first test then hangs on me ...

Very puzzling , not to mention annoying !

cheers

hi


realised the sound drivers aint installed , seems the card is incompatible as I disabled the soundcard in the bios and its getting stable results on dxdiag now, still no games though..


This is weird !
