I am having serious issues with my radeon 8500dv.
When I hook it up via the dvi->vga adapter I get an almost unintelligible screen. It takes the typical post display and garbles it. I am leaning toward it being a bad card as I deem this unacceptable. It worked hit or miss out of the box, I had it on my HDTV via the component adapter and that was pretty decent. I attempted a fresh install of WinXP and I can only get through the setup because I remember the buttons I need to press. Then it locks up during install or when I install the Catalyst 3.1 drivers. (Several OS install attempts.)
Anywho.. anyone else experienced similar problems w/ this card.
