Thanks for the link Hunter; very useful. Yep, the PSU was the culprit here. :chk:

Yes Allright, since the refresh lock didn't fully solve the problem, I downloaded the bigger Omega Driver that Anti-Trend suggested :agree: . I didn't get it before because it was big and I have 56K :( . Well, guess what, the Omega driver solved the problem completely. Now I can play my Call...

I downloaded the refreshforce and the refreshlock. These programs seemed to solve the problem, at least partially. Now, I can run all Direct 3D games at 1600, but not the OpenGL ones. I got really excited when I tried PainKiller and Morrowind, but when I got to Call of Duty, the same "out of...

More Asus and MSI, please =)

Hey, I've been here for 2 months now and I'm very pleased so far. I came across this forum through Google when I had a PSU problem. I posted the same message on 4 different forums. But, this was the only one that answered my question, so I stayed here. Yes, it is small, but it has substance...

Allright man, I'll try those refresh programs tonight. By the way, what is the Omega driver? Is it a modified Catalyst? :confused: Do I need to uninstall the Catalyst I have now? Thanks for your help

Hey guys: You probably remember me from the "5900" question post. Here's the deal. I returned the 5900xt, and I'm happy about it because I got a 9800 pro on newwegg for $209 US. I've done a lot of benchmarking so far, and the 9800 beats the 5900xt by 15-20% on most games, exept on Open GL of...

Yeah, He-man. I remember him from the late 80's. I also remember the transformers as well as the Thundercats. Old good times :cool:

Thanks for replaying guys. Yeah, I think it's either grounding or the Power Supply. I'll buy a 400W tomorrow to see if that solves it. I'll let you know on Monday if that took care of the problem. See you :good:

Hi: I've been having problems with a computer I have at home. It frequently turns off on me. At first, I tought it was the CPU overheating, but a lot of times it shuts off 2 or 3 minutes right after boot up, so, I don't think it's an over heating issue. Next, I reinstalled the OS to see if...

Something very similar was happening to me and I have 2000 pro, not XP. I did not solve the problem in any particular way, I just switched to the other NIC, the 3com. Haven't had any troubles yet. But it's definetely something weird; it seems like the Nvidia and the 3com nics behave differently...

Hey guys, thanks for your suggestion. I solved the problem, but I had to reinstall the whole OS :eek: . Thanks for replying anyways. :good:

Yeah Yes, Harrack; I figure that I won't see a difference unless I enable AA and AF. Also, I went to the website recommended by BigB and I found out that I didn't buy the real 5900. The 5900xt is an economic version of the 5900. It's a bit faster than the 5700, but slower than the 5900. No...

Allright, thanks BigB. May be I'll need to try my games at higher resolutions. Or may be, I need to return my card and move from Nvidia to ATI :D . I just wanted to hear some educated opinions before I made a costly decision. If anyone still thinks he/she can contribute to this, I'll be...

Thanks for replying. Isn't that a weird thing :confused: ? I'll try your solution tonight. I really hope it helps :swt: .

Hi: For some reason I cannot change my screen resolution. It's stuck at 640x480. The odd thing is that the video driver is installed and everything was working fine yesterday. It lets me change the colors to 256, 16bit, and 32bit. But my resolution stays the same, it's not letting me move the...

Hey, thanks for replying. I run everything at 1024, no anti-alising or aniso. I was just getting suspisious because that price seemed too cheap for a 5900. Do you know anything about BFG:confused: ? I mean, I know that the chipset is the same, but do the different brands make a difference when...

Hello: I recently upgraded my video card from an Nvidia FX 5700 to a 5900. I bought a "BFG" 5900, but the problem is that I haven't noticed any significant difference between the two. Am I doing something wrong? Is BFG a crappy brand? I was really excited when I bought the card at best buy at...

Yeah, I heard you need to perform such sacrifices to be part of the techie wizards :devil: .

Anti-Trend: I'm just teasing him. He's my friend from college :simpson:
