mobo: asrock K7S41GX (latest AGP drivers)

I have to make it quick, I just brought a new Saph 9800pro. A few mins into some games, like call of duty and and Far Cry. the puter stops responding and says "Hardware has stopped reciving commands from driver 9800pro" or something. Then the VPU tries to re-establish hardware acceleration and fails and I must restart the puter. I have tried many drivers, even the "Omega" driver and such. To no avail. I've turned off fast writes, set to AGPx4 with no luck. uninstalled SMARTGART- nothing.

What could cause this kind of prob?

ok

1. did you upgrade from an nvidia card? if so did you use this program http://www.guru3d.com/detonator-destroyer/

2. did you uninstall the old drivers before you installed the 9800pro?

3.how many amps on your 12+ volt rail?

4. did you plug the molex connector into the 9800pro?

If you upgraded from an nvidia card then for 100% stability it is recommended you reset your cmos and reinstall windows
