Specs:
AMD 64 3000, 1gb Ram, ATI 9800 Pro video card., 1gig RAM, 350 watt Enermax PSU, 160gig HD, CD/DVD
Every so often I get a totally frozen screen when playing games where it is just black, or i get what appears to be streaks across the screen with about 2 or 3 colours or game completely freezes on screen. Computer completely locked up.
I have to restart system by holding power button down then everything is well. This happens once in awhile with CS Source and for some reason ALL the time with Madden 2005. I have CoD, UT2004, WoW too and this hasnt happened at all. Oh ya, it also does this when I run 3D mark 2005, fairly often. (About 2 out of 3 times)
I have latest detonator drivers from ATI, I installed after removing previous drives from control panel, so Im sure Ive installed drivers properly, and have tried a few different sets or drivers also, including the original ones that came with the card. I just recently put in the new PSU cause people suggested it and also put in a PCI slot VGA cooling fan and still problems.
Anyone else have these problems? Help would be appreciated.
