Radeon Graphic card woes

[Mark Godwin]

George,

No, I have not found a solution to this problem. This is
the second Radeon Graphics Card I am going thru and I
still am having the same problems. I don't know what the
deal is. I am about ready to throw my computer off my
balcony. Some people are telling me that it's the
motherboard. A friend of mine had a problem with his
motherboard (his graphics card was not involved), and he
didn't have a clue it was his motherboard(it had a crack
in it). He is about the best computer expert I know
around me, and he is telling me that it's probably the
AOpen motherboard. He never talked highly of the AOpen
motherboards to begin with.
If you every find a solution to your problem, please
Email me at . I would love to hear
from you if you do find a solution. I have even
formatted my computer and started over 3 times with only
XP, not XP ontop of 98 or 2000. Just straight up XP. No
solution. And I don't see a newsgroup on Radeon. This
is rediculous. I hate it. I have never had this kind of
problem with my computer, and I have but my last three
computers.

Have you checked the temperatures inside the case, especially the video
card when it crashes? Also have you checked the power supply to be sure
that it can handle the video card's load when using 3D applications?
