Ati 9800 pro problem
When I boot up cold all my graphics are garbled up.. But after 2-3 reboots it runs fine. Even the motherboard splash screen is messed up on cold boot. Just started doing this a few days ago. I've had the card 2 months..

have you tried vacuuming out your power supply ?
after two three times (you don't say what your OS is) Windows XP pro will "sort out" any conflicts it has (most of the time). like the 9800 could be walking over the network card or sound card, on boot up - your bios info could be different than what windows wants to do radically (how is your bios battery). One way to tell about your bios, is to unplug the PC from the wall, then with this box off - go to the mall or something, then come back and plug you PC back in. IF your bios is zeroed (no big deal - it'll just re pnp) then you should be able to see if it can't hold the bios info (dead batt). ** note: if you do try this - go into your bios and write the settings down, so you might have to manually put then back in. especially if you like to tweak the bios. If you have extra pci slots try moving one of the cards i mentioned (big time assumptions here) just assuming these would be standard fare for todays PC's. you power supply could be marginal - you don't say what your wattage is. I have a 450watt and a 500 watt server power supply in my PC's. ** No Fate ** cheers, dracman Tomb Raider: Shotgun City http://www.smokeypoint.com/tomb.htm http://www.smokeypoint.org/traod/traod.html **savegame editors all versions Tomb Raider & TRAOD godmode http://www.smokeypoint.com/tr2code.htm http://www.smokeypoint.com/tombraide...r1pictures.htm http://www.smokeypoint.com/3dfx.htm http://www.smokeypoint.com/banshee.html http://www.smokeypoint.com/My_PC.htm http://www.smokeypoint.com/tomb2.htm#Tova ** GTA III vice City Character MOD http://www.smokeypoint.com/uzi.htm#gta3 NFS: drive at the limits of tyre adhesion ! snag Lara's Croftraider IV sports car ! !
