Hi All,
Ok I have problem, I just built a computer on a Biostar M7VIK Maxtor 60 gig 7200 rpm, 300 watt ps, Sound Blaster Live 5.1 gamer, AM XP 1800, Windows XP Pro and the video card below.New bios, video driver, sound card driver, 4 in 1 hyperion drivers and Direct x 8.1. Here is the story. I put this together and every went together great. I ran Mad Onion ( The lastest one ) and it rebooted the computer. Tried to play BF 1942 and it was horrible. This was 2 weeks ago. I have since uninstalled and reinstalled in this order video driver then sound driver then both then video and tried older sound driver. old video new sound driver, old 4 in 1 driver & new video and sound, new old 4 in 1 & old video and sound. Then .............. well you get the idea I have tried every conceivable option there is. . Then I looked at the driver cd and it says "DRIVER FOR ATI 9700 PRO ONLY" Now I never tried tried to put the cd driver on because I got the lastest ones off ati website.So I uninstalled the drivers I had on the machineand tried to put in the drivers off the cd. I got a "CANNOT INSTALL DRIVERS CANNOT FING INF FILE". So I did the install again off the cd but this time pointed directly to the drivers and got the same message. So I reinstalled the new video drivers from ati website and still had the same thing. Now I am completelt baffled so I did a complete format and reinstall of everything including windows xp pro. Now I can complete MADONION but when playing MAX PAYNE or BF 1942, I get kicked back to my desktop. Sometimes I can for for a few minutes or up to a 2 hours but I always get kicked back to my desktop. I thought i had the wrong drivers so i went back to ATI and did a product check with bios string thru ATI's bios string check. It came back I had a ATI RADEON 9700 and not the ATI RADEON 9500 as listed below from newegg. Then a favorite uncle of mine sent me a test called AIDA 32 and the results are below that. Now when you look at the AIDA 32 results keep in mind that the 9500 has only 2 vertex shaders and 4 pixel pipelines, 128 bit memory. Mine according to the AIDA 32 has 4 vertex shaders, 8 pipelines and 256 bit memory plus the faster clock speed and memory speed but mine only has 64 ddr memory and I cant find a 9700 that comes with 64 ddr only 128 ddr. Right at this very minute I am using 9500 video drivers, the Hyperion 4 in 1 4.45 drivers, and the lastest sound blaster drivers plus all the updrades for XP. I can complete the MADONION with a score 9456 and BF 1942 looks and runs excellent but right before Ithe game loads into whatever server I am on I get 8-10 multi colored blocks at the bottom then it connects no problem. It runs fast but I always get kicked back to my desktop. This is a fast system for me and I love it. But can someone please help me out here PLEASE
