Before anyone says so, I've already posted this at Rage3D.
My friend has a Radeon 8500 OEM (I, sadly, have an Asus Deluxe GF3 Ti500), and he wanted me to aid him in overclocking it. While unfamiliar with Radeon overclocking, I decided to take a stab at it, and downloaded Radeonator (this was about a week ago, so I believe it was version 1.25, but I am uncertain). Anyhow, overclocking in anyway whatsoever resulted in sporadicly occuring vertical, purple and blothcy lines on the screen. Here is all of his system information.
Mainboard: Tyan Trinity 400 (uses VIA Apollo Pro133A Chipset)
CPU: Intel Pentium III Coppermine @ 866MHz (stock cooling)
Memory: 3x 128mb generic PC100 DIMMs, memory chips on DIMMs are 7.5ns Infineon chips (each memory bank set to fast timing and CL2 in BIOS, other settings tried as well)
Graphics: ATi Radeon 8500 OEM, memory chips identified as 3.6ns Hynix chips. AGP aperature set to 128mb (tried 64mb as well), AGP 4x enable, EC AGP mode, VRAM caching enabled (tried disabled as well). Stock cooling.
Sound Card: Hercules Fortissimo II
Basically, after noticing the fast RAM, I immediately figured it could go to stock speeds right away. Unfortunately, any speeds over the OEM's 250/250 produced the strange purple lines. I played with all the memory settings and AGP/graphics settings in the BIOS, but to no avail. I'm thinking that it's an issue with Radeonator. Could anyone offer help?
