Computer freezes up??????

to delete their Catalyst drivers with the removal tool, as said: its not the radeon chipset etc, but the driver suite which can be very unstable at times...

You can also run good hardware checking tool through the night, will look up a good tool for you, as of now short of time :)

I had a similar problem that drove me mad for 6 months,finally i found out the problem,namely overheating,atm i have removed the side of the case that houses the computer and have not had a problem since.
 
So far so good...no freezes now that the ATI is out of it... BUT... i had the side off the whole time...just put it on.... maybe it is overheating..BUT i highley dought it... the thing has 5 Huge fans in it... and all the PCs in the office would be having simmular problems i would think if they werent cool enough. .....more to come..

Quote from TGregg:

Safe mode is OS level, not BIOS. It's a Windows boot command that allows you to run with the minimum amount of "stuff" like drivers and startup programs. You want to hit F8 as your hardware stuff is wrapping up the bootup, but before Windows starts to load. You should get a menu that gives you a few options. My first choice would be to pick plain old Safe Mode (the most restrictive I believe), and let it sit there for a while. You won't have networking, and only VGA res (640x480), but if that hangs, you have something seriously wrong, perhaps hardware.

This presumes you are running Windows (hopefully XP).

EDIT: F8 should work, doesn't matter who wrote your BIOS.

Ya i am running Xp pro.. havent said that yet...
 
Hi,

I have discontinued using XP Pro for all my trading pcs, because of simple performance reasons, could be nice if someone needs really a bunch of displays (XP will allow one more than 2K), but I am happy with three :D

So far, 2K Pro is a really good choice I think.

Anyone using 2003 Server for some dual (quad) machine?

Ok..so it must be the ATI cause it hasnt froze up still...now do you think its just th drivers and i should reinstall them or do you think teh actual card is damaged?
 
be not the card, but instead the catalyst, see if you can get some older releases from ATI, this can sometimes work...although there a quite a bit people having probs with their drives...

Just put up this card on EBay & shop for a new Geforce with multiple DVI (Matrox with quad is also suberb investment:D ) & 128MR Memory...

best
