My WinXP computer is crashing with either a black screen or vertical
bars on the screen. I have a ATI Radeon 64 VIVO AGP in an Epox 8k7a+
with athlon 1.33. Everything was working together fine and then the
computer started crashing randomly with vertical bars. Now I can't
get to OS to even boot up even in the safe (crashes at amdagpxp.sys)or
VGA mode. I have to change to an old PCI video card to get into the
system. ATI send me a new Video card even though they found nothing
wrong with the old one. I've loaded the latest AGP miniport drivers
for my motherboard and lowered the AGP speed in the bios to 2x from
4x. A fresh install of XP or upgrade to SP1 still crashes.
I hope someone has an idea on what to do as I'm stumped and very
frustrated.
