Hmm. 3dmark2001 only plays for about 3 seconds on the car demo then i get a system reboot. i'm using the newest drivers (which i figure to be the best ones). someone tells me i should try lower drivers...so i use the lowest ones i can find. 3xxx version. i install these and i can run 3dmark fine without any errors. also with these new drivers i can't play counter-strike in direct3d for very long cause it craps out on me again. the card is fine because the older drivers did everything fine. but it really bugs me that i can't run things perfectly with the new drivers. has anyone had this problem? any suggestions?
