Hi
 
I have bought and fitted a Connect 3D 9600XT 256MB card. AGP version.
 
The problem is am getting is with 3D graphics. For example I open the Catalyst Control centre and click on the 3D tab. The animation of the car starts and then within 1 second the screen goes blank. I believe the Monitor is in fact not receiving a signal anymore. Or, when I start Grand Theft Auto San Andreas and start the game the same thing happens.
 
I have followed to installation path to the letter (rebooting after each step):
 
Remove old (Nvidia GeForce 3 ti 200) driver
 
Upgrade AGP software (NForce2 using Nvidia's latest all in one upgrade executable)
 
Install driver from CD
 
The problem mentioned happened in this situation. I then downloaded and installed the latest Radeon driver from ATI and had the same problem.
 
My PC configuration is as below :
 
Windows XP SP2
 
AMD 2800+ CPU
 
Asus A78NX 2.0 Deluxe Motherboard, BIOS version 1007.(Latest BIOS versions do not have any mention of a ATi card problem which is fixed).
 
512MB RAM
 
LG1710B TFT 17" Monitor
 
Netgear 512 network card
 
If anyone can advise me as to what the problem is I would be very grateful. If the issue is not resolved I will have to return the card which I would prefer to not have to do.
 
Many thanks

You may still want to try a bios update anyways if there is a more recent one. Althought they may not mention a fix for ATI cards they may have fixed a voltage or timing issue with agp that might fix your problem.
then post back with news.
