I recently got a new upgraded system (in my sig) and I am having big problems with my vid card. All of my Vid cards have been ATI and I have been pleased with all of them, never having any problems, untill now...
Just to clarify I have all recent driver/updates for my vid card, mobo, sound card, windows, etc. and all my components are running from a fresh install of windows.
Now whenever I try to start any game I want to play: SWBF2, BF2, WoW, NFSMW, Eve-online, X3... Every time in every game it starts to get to the main loading screen of each game my Vid card crashes ie. my screen freezes, then turns black, then I get no signal showing on my monitor, I have to manually restart my system and when I log back onto windows my screen size is reset to 800x600. I reset all my settings for my card to default, I still get the problem. Right now I am at a loss of ideas on what to de next.
Does it sound like I have a bad card and should RMA it? Is it a problem with some Bios settings? I looked for answers from ATI.com, DFI.com, Nvidia.com, sapphiretech.com, and I have emailed customer support for my online games, all so far no solution has been found. I upgraded my system mainly for future gaming opurtunitys. So any help is greatly appreciated.
