I recently upgraded from a GeForce 3 to a Radeon 9700 Pro. To date this has proven to be a mistake. Since upgrading the system hangs, requiring a hard reset, every time I try to play any game. In fact, it usually hangs when I simply try to enter the Video Configuration of games.
I have already run the Driver Cleaner program to remove any trace of the previous Nvidia drivers. The system configuration is as follows: 350W Power Supply, Shuttle AK35GT-R (KT266A chipset), AMD Athlon XP 2000+, 512MB DDR, ATI Radeon 9700 Pro (Retail), Windows 2000 SP3, VIA Hyperion 4.46 drivers, ATI Catalyst drivers v3.4, Microsoft DirectX v9.0
The system worked fine with the previous nVidia card. The problems only surfaced after installing the Radeon 9700 Pro. I have noticed several mixed reviews regarding the issue. Some have expressed that this card only works "right" with and Intel-based system. I also attempted to contact ATI; but, they have not even responded 4 days later. Any help would be appreciated.
