Tyan Thunder K8W S2885 and ATI Radeon 9800 Pro problems.
Hello,
I have Tyan Thunder K8W S2885 and ATI Radeon 9800 Pro and I have ran into instability problems. My config is Windows XP with all the patches and latest ATI Radeon drivers Catalyst 3.10. Running Directx games freezes the machine. When I tried using nVidia GeForce 5950 graphics card with the latest drivers I don't experience these problems. The system is rock solid. BUT I have also tried using the same ATI Radeon 9800 Pro card in different motherboards like Asus SK8V and A7N8X and it works without any problems. The company I bought my computer from Xi Computers mentioned that it's a known problem with the Tyan Thunder K8W S2885 motherboard or the AMD AGP controller on the motherboard and ATI Radeon cards. That's why they gave me a nVidia card instead of the ATI card with my k8w system. So I was wondering who's problem is this? Tyan, ATI, or AMD? Does anyone know of a fix for this? Is this a known problem? I don't mind using the nVidia card, it's not half bad :P But the image quality in games is much better with the ATI card, and I already miss it. Any helpful information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. p.s. please don't respond to the email address as it's not real. Please respond to the newsgroup. |
