Hi I was hoping that somebody has an idea on what could be causing the following problem.
I have an ATI Radeon 8500 DDR 128 card, installed on a Athlon 1 gig system, MSI mbo, 256 megs of pc133 ram.
Whenever I download and install the XP drivers for this card my computer runs for about 5 minuites then locks up tighter then a drum. I cant end task or anything, I have to cold boot the computer then it will not boot up. I cant even get into the bios or anything unless I leave the computer sit for like 5 hours.
Whats funny is I can install 98SE or ME and it runs fine, but I would really like to have XP.
ATI support says to complete an RMA form, but I dont really see that anything could be wrong with the card since it runs on other O/S just fine.
Anyone know a fix or a work around?
