Hey guys, I'm stumped and would really appreciate any suggestions that you might have.
I have a Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb card that started to give me some bad artifacting while playing Morrowind a few months ago. We moved and I haven't played in a while so I didn't worry about it. My motherboard (Epox 8RDA+) went bad about a month ago and I replaced it with the latest version (Epox 8RDA+ Pro). But my computer freezes when I play any games. Command and Conquer: Generals, LOTR: The Battle For Middle Earth, Etc,. It also had problems with ATITool. It will lock up or I'll get the blue screen of death when I try the 3D rendering. It won't stay on there long enough for me to read the whole thing so I really don't know if I could figure it out from that. I have installed all the latest drivers and disabled the onboard sound in the bios. Fastwrite is off as well. Basically, I can't find anything that is wrong. I even flashed the Video Card's Bios with the most recent one from your site. Any suggestions?
