I have come across with so many examples of dying ati 9500\9700\9800 cards, all they show the same symptoms
in windows
and
in games
and this is the card
This seems to happen a lot frequently with the ati 9xxx series, and it has already happened to myself in the past too, with a ati9500, without any sort of possible recovering.
Once it starts to happen, in most cases its a dead card for certain, and i would like to know if anyone knows what exactly happens with these ati card series for them fo fail like this within time.
Im about to aquire a ati9800pro (for free, for a amdk6 450 system), and i would like to know if theres anyway to prevent this from happening, and what's the reason for it to happen so oftenly with these cards.
Failing ram memories or gpu core?
And how much of you have come across with these situations and how did you dealed with them.
