Just before windows login screen when it should be all black can't ss it :/ due to it being before windows is loaded so I guess its not driver related also.

I'm guessing my GPU ram is on its way but wondering if anyone can suggest any other possable causes?

I Dont get this in windows or in games and dont have any problems with most games I get a problem with DAoC https://forums.freddyshouse.com/showthread.php?t=198643 and also just got cossacks 2 and the game locks up everytime a tower fires :/ but lots of games work flawlessly oblivion etc.

P.s specs are in the post linked to about my daoc problem

 

[old.Whoodoo]

AMD 64 3200 +
1gig random named RAM (tested)
maxtor 250 gig HD
asrock duel pci/agp 939 motherboard
9700 pro agp gfx card
550w psu (some no name thing but the rails are steady not much demand on it)

You havnt mentioned your OS, is it XP Pro, home or XP64?

Try rolling back your drivers for the DAoC problem, normally a forum trawl will tell you what ones are best, never take it as gospel that the latest are the best ones either. I found the last set of drivers nvidea threw out gave me major hangups, roll back to an older version and the problem vanished.

Also check for over heating, especially if u r overclocking. You may also need to check your bios is up to date, details for that should be on your mobos web site.

xp home sry

have tried cat drivers all the way back to the ones recomended for ppl with DAoC problems also tried omega drivers and it makes no difference.

Nothing is or ever has been overclocked Have plenty of air cooling and temps are all good,BIOS I'm pretty sure is the latest revision but cant check due to the bios download page being unavailable atm (I flashed it a few weeks back)
