Comment: Hi I'm having a lot of trouble with my radeon 9700 pro so here goes:
I built my computer a few months ago and fit it with a radeon 9700 pro. The monitor said 'No Signal'. I tried a PCI card and it worked fine. I then took the card back and got the latest revision which seemed to work fine. I started crashing when playing most games, ie Unreal Tournament 2003. The only game I seemed to be able to play was counter-strike and even that crashed after excessive play. Recently I formatted my hard drive and installed all new drivers, latest Ati Catalyst etc. It was running fine until Counter-strike started causing errors and the computer started rebooting for no apparent reason. Please help as this is driving me mad! P.S. motherboard: Epox (unsure on exact model) with agp 8x, SiS 648

Reply: (edit)THe PSU has 2 fans and I have a case fan, the r9700p also has a fan onboard. I haven't noticed a massive temperature when it reboots itself or anything, it seems fine.
As for AGP, I can't really figure much out and I'm beginning to think the agp slot on the board is the problem..
I had to take the card back because it didn't work with agp 8x or something, this new revision works but crashes. I can't tell what its set at but I'd really like to run at 8x or I wouldn't have got this motherboard
