Setup:
DFI nf3 250gb
3200+ a64(754)
2GB ram
x800xl
450w psu(maybe 500)
xp pro
latest drivers
I've been battling this problem for a while but it didn't really bother me enough to troubleshoot. Here's the games I play:
CSS
CoD2
BF2
FEAR
BF1942(just recently installed)
When I play fear, within the first 5 minutes my screen goes crazy. I can hear the sound for a few seconds then it just shuts off(reboots but doesn't POST). There are lines across the screen too.
I figured it was a driver issue since every other game I play works fine with not ONE problem.
Well I wanted to get back into bf1942 so I installed it and as soon as I load a map(or close to that time) it does the same thing. Lines across the screen followed by a reboot without POST.
That was when I was using some older drivers(4-6 months ago). I thought it might be a driver issue so I uninstalled the drivers and also used driver cleaner then installed the latest drivers from ati.
I still get the same crap in just those two games alone. Does anyone have any idea what's going on?
