Radeon 9600XT Rebooting my computer
Hi,
I just installed a Saphire Radeon 9600XT in my system. I removed the old drivers, and installed the latest Catalyst drivers from ATI's website. I am now experiencing problems with the graphics card as whenever I try to play a game the computer suddenly reboots itself. The games I have tried are IGI2 (the computer reboots when the 'loading' progress bar gets to about half way) and Counter-Strike (which I got by using the cd key that came bundled with the card) which doesn't get past the title screen before the computer reboots. If i disable automatic rebooting, the blue screens tend to blame the files win32k.sys and ati2dvag.dll, and sometimes ati3duag.dll. The errors are something like PAGE_FAULT_IN_UNPAGED_AREA and IRQL_DRIVER_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. I have tried the newest and some older VIA Hyperion drivers, but this seems to make no difference. My event viewer only tells me that hl.exe or igi2.exe crashed. Underclocking the graphics card using Rage 3D seems to make the system more stable, with less blue screens, and games crash to the desktop rather than reboot my computer. Thanks for any help!
