Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with this really weird problem! I took delivery an HIS Excalibur ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB from OCUK a few days ago, along with a matched pair 2Gb set of OCZ PC3200 RAM. Everything is running dandy, I updated my drivers and so on, games are running like a dream, FEAR runs on max settings and is absolutely great, no slowdown and no crashes. Then I'm browsing websites later on in the day, a couple of band websites and the like, and one of them is built using flash. Now for some reason my computer decides to just go into a black screen then reboot.
So I try various things to fix it. I find that disabling the flash activeX control in IE stops the crashing. I tried reinstalling flash but the problem came back again. So it is definitely flash causing some kind of problem. I say what the hell and reformat my system, it could do with it.
Everything is fine and dandy, flash sites working again. Then at some point it goes strange again, my system locks up. This time I get a blue screen of death saying something about memory management, but it is gone before I can read it. Try again, again flash crashes my system. I see a BSOD again, this time something to do with ati**** where **** is something or other I don't have time to read, possibly ati2evxx.exe or whatever it is running in processes on the task manager.
Is my new graphics card busted? Or is it some crazy bug with flash? I'd report it to ATI only when trying to register they don't have the HIS Excalibur x1900 xt listed. Also, I'm not totally sure if the card is the problem.
Think I should return the card to OCUK? Or anyone got a better idea? Thanks for any help you can give!
My system specs are:
Athlon 64 3700+
ASROCK 939Dual-SATA2
2Gb OCZ PC3200 RAM
HIS Excalibur X1900 XT
Creative Audigy 2 ZS
Enermax noisetaker 495W PSU
