Can't run 3dmark 03

[react]

My rig:
p4 1.6@2.5 1.7v
512mb Crucial XMS ram
WD HD (8mb cache one)
Radeon 9500 pro

It would just load and then the screen would go black? Can't do anything but reboot. Sometimes it would work then freeze up and I would also have to reboot. I tried running the demo and it loaded once, then froze up, but the music kept playing. I have the latest drivers for everything on my rig installed and all after a fresh format. I even tried to run it at stock speeds but I would still get a blank screen. I need help!

Make sure you have the most up-to-date chipset driver. Whenever I have unexplainable problems that seems to fix it.

I have the latest INF drivers for my Epox 4g4a mobo (845g).

DX9?

I have the 9500 pro, and unless you change your settings in the cntrl panel to "performance" your going to be watching a slide show. I tried it with 16x/6x and was rewarded with a nice 1-5fps. Performance settings you'll get about 150fps in the airplane demo, but only 15-30 in the rest.

IMO 03' isn't all it's cracked up to be. As long as you can play your games, forget about it.

Well.. It turned out to be the newest cat drivers (3.2). Atleast I think so.. I'll have to reinstall 3dmark to see. The reason is because WC3 froze too. I downgraded to 3.0 and WC3 runs fine now.
