Alright - since I got my new system together:
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
Radeon 9800 pro 128mb
1gb RAM
120 gb SATA HD
I am having graphics problem now - frequent crashes in games, blacked out screens, artifacts followed by complete freeze-ups just to name a few problems.
All graphics related.
Now I tried everything I could think of already - un- and reinstalled the Catalyst drivers, checked directX, checked BIOS settings and what have you but the problem still persists..
The card is fine, tested it on my old PIV shuttle system... now after some reading up on 9800/AMD problems I figured that I might simply have a PSU problem. I run the system on a 350W supply but before I dish out money on a 500W supply I'd like to get some confirmation first.
Thanks in advance for your help, guys.
