SAPPHIRE X800GTO problem

[hewho]

Old dog needs help with new toy !!!!

Just put together a new puter with the following spec.:
Cpu AMD Opteron 148
HSF Scythe Ninja Plus
Thermalright HR-05 chipset cooler
MB Asus A8N e, 1010 bios, 6.67 chipset driver
Ram PDP 2x512 XBLK SPD 2,2,2,5
VC SAPPHIRE X800GTO 128MB,
VM-101 passive heatsink, no fan
Case COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW
PS ENERMAX | ELT400AWT 400W
Monitor Dell 1907fp
HD Samsung 160G HD160JJ
Samsung 250G SP2504C
DVD ASUS DRW-1608P2S
Plextor PX712A
KB&M Logictech MX3000
OS WinXp Sp2

Having problem with the X800 in 3D mode !!!

When I turn 3D Mode on in ATITool, it will run for a few seconds,
stop, then run a few more seconds; finally will Hard Lock the
system. The only way it will reboot is to turn the power off and on via power supply switch.
It will do the same thing with Sapphire Trixx as well.

Is this software or hardware issue ?

Thanks,
JT

hardware i assume. did the same shit with my X800GTO 512mb version. I tried running trixx and my comp would crash, used Ati tool and i'd lose video input for 30 seconds before it VPU recover kicked in and defaulted my already defaulted settings. I wouldn't bother and send it back for a different card. Sapphire fucked up some of those cards. my X800GTO is gone now, back to newegg for some other unlucky guy.
