But the problem is still there. Now, I only can use Windows, if i uninstall x700 radeon drivers. I don`t now what else can do...............Please help ! What do you think ? Is this a hardware problem ? Ah, I also try to lower the monitor Freq but it doesn`y solve anything Any comments would be appreciatte ! Thank you for your time Sorry, my poor english, ...writting from Buenos Aires Argentina
I`m using Codegen 400 W Now I install the sapphire box drivers and works fine but a resolution of 8 bit and 640*480 Sometimes appears and error with cli.exe file
I'm not sure but the codegen PSUs are of poor quality. It cost me my whole rig as I had the same PSU as you. I'd replace it with a quality brand form Antec or Thermaltake soon before it dies.
Problem solved !! I install the original ati drivers (not the last ones) but without the Catalyst programs..only the driver. And now is working excelent !!!!!! This radeon rocks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you everybody for answers !!
