its me again with the full problem this time lol.
win xp pro
AMD 3000+
asus k8ne mb
1gb RAM in 2 sticks DDR400 3200 value
160gb maxtor ide primary master
40gb maxtor ide primary slave
plex writer ide secondary master
sony dvd ide sec slave
and a new ATI saphire 9600XT 256DDR
1 exhaust fan
standard AMD heatsink and fan
3 case fans
heat is not a problem here
ive just got the new card about 2 weeks ago and ive had nothing but problems since. i had a hercules 3d prothet 128ddr before and it never crashed or freeze. i know the new card is the problem as its the only thing ive changed. ive tried a few fixes such as increasing voltage, default settings AGP x4 etc but the system just crashes 1 to 10 mins into call of duty united offensive when online only. it does not crash when playing single player. ive installed latest ATI drivers and ive tried the omega driver but that went belly up on the rad clocker taking xp with it. so ive had a fresh install but still get the game crashes when online.
ive got the lates bios installed for the asus mb as well so i have ran out of ideas. Any help will stop me from going insane as i am now begining to have withdrawal symptoms from COD and shakes
thanks
dave
