running An AMD Athlon XP, 512 pc 2100 DDR ram, Epox 8KHA+ and ATI radeon 8500 64mb.
And ive just encountered a problem, After a while using any different programs, my display just goes out of sync. It sort of looks like a television without cable? I cant exactly describe it, but no useful oput is shown. The computer seems to be working even with the display error, but it occurs randomly. Worst of all, it does not happen when idle because i left it at my local technician's store and it never happened for 2 days when it was at the shop. Ive updated drivers and checked everything i know of. And im pretty sure i didnt install anything before it did this. Has anyone had this problem that had the same hardware as me? I switched the card with my other computer that is running XP and it does the sae thing AND i have exchanged my radeon 8500 with another from ATI, still the problem? anyone have a clue? I have had the card for 2 months and this problem never happened before
