Hey all
Im having an issue playing BF and any other game right now on my system. Im able to load a map up and start playing for a few minutes when my screen goes black, I get a message on my screen saying "no video input detected" and im forced to do a hard reset. Ive left it sitting for a bit to see if i could end task or if it would recover but it doesnt. Here are my system specs.
System is stock with no OCing
AMD athlon XP2500+ Barton
Asus a7n8x deluxe
2x512mb of corsair DDR 3200
2x WD 80 gig SATA HDD's
LC-a420atx power supply (game with my case)
Sapphire X800gto (agp) 16 pipelines unlocked no other over clocks a430 core
Audigy 2zs
Win xp pro sp2 (fresh install as of last week)
3 case fans plus cpu fan
Lightscribe dvd burner
Ive run through all the general and some hardware trouble shooting. I locked my agp frequency at 66. Agp voltage is set to auto but ive gone from 1.5v to 1.6 and i still get the black screen. Tried multiple ati driver including omega drivers and still have the issue. I downloaded 3D mark 03 for benchmarking and testing and it has yet to make my system crash like games do. My GPU sits around 72C under load so it isnt over heating. I monitor using asus probe and ATI tool. I read somewhere it could be a power supply issue and i might want to go to a 500W with dual 12v rails. I just read on this site in the PS section that the powersupply im using is a piece of garbage.
Any input from you all would be much appreciated. This is driving me crazy. Buying a new Power Supply is the next step to figure this out. I hope my card isnt burned up. I have another machine to test the card in but its currently in pieces.
