Weeeell, I just picked up my gap-graphics card today, because my old radeon x600 finally went to the land of the ancient.
However, my new GPU is a HIS HD 2600 Pro. Installed it today, and though it is a card so that I can work on my pc, I was curious to see how she would do in 3d. So I made the test with Prey, Portal, and Trackmania Nations. While playing Prey and Portal, I experienced irregular system crashes, soem followed by shut down, some followed by this nice screen here. Not only does that error message occure, somehow also the screen resolution sets back to 1025x768 instead of the 1280x1024 I have set.
Odd enough, same happens while playing TMN. Now first, the GPU worked with the CD-drivers that came with it. I decieded to install the newest ATI drivers as well, with no result.
Now my question is, why does this happen. Maybe I have to add, that I set up windows completely new today, but on a HD wich was previously used as file storage. Might that have an influence? Or what else could it be... I'm kinda confused now facing the fact that my three years old x600 dind't cause any errors, and the new one...
Ideas, anybody? Thanks in advance...
