I just purchased a new Sapphire Radeon 9800pro for my system, hoping that I would now be able to play some of the newer games coming out. I just reformatted and reinstalled XP Pro so everything is fresh from nothing.
Installed the 9800pro and started installing games to check it out.
Installed Ghost Recon... which shut down as soon as I started playing.
Installed Alice... which froze and shut down as soon as I started playing.
Installed DeusEx... which shut down and gave a horribly long and technical error message.
Not only that, but now all of the menus in windows XP are appearing and disappearing in an EXTRA SLOW fashion... Like it's working hard as hell just to bring them up.
My system is as follows:
AMD Athlon XP 2400
512megs PC2100DDR
512megs PC2700DDR (clocked down to play nice with 2100)
Gigabyte GA7VAXP mobo
OS: XP pro
I've never had these problems before the new video card. Anyone know what the problem is???
