Hello
First of all, I cannot update the card's drivers, I've tried multiple times over the past year and a half to select the ones meant for 4xxx series available from the ATI site, and every time I install them after the reboot my computer can only display 4bit colours.
Second, I wouldn't give a crap about the first point unless there wouldn't be some games that made my computer restart. For example I can only play bioshock on medium settings, if I set them on high, the computer restarts (I have disabled the automatic restart that's enabled by default). Now, something similar happens to hl2, a game that I have never had any problems with.
So I have two questions - how can I check what is the cause of the restarts? And how can I solve the problem with the drivers not updating?
this card has pissed me off so much, I've never had any problems with geforce cards, I don't think I'll be buying an ati card again.
