What kinda CPU you got, how many cd drives, Hard drives, ect...how many fans...

[Captain]

1 fan - 1 rom - 1 hard drive - 1 floppy - and the vid card

[LA_MERC_MadMAX]

try unplugging everything but your hdd and your vid card -- what kind of CPU you have?

Hey max, we've narrowed it down (I think!!) to a "known" issue with the 53.03 detonator drivers. He's going to uninstall those drivers and go back to a previous version to see how that works. Know where to get a copy of the prog that deletes all detonator drivers so he can start with a clean slate?

Would this be it? http://www.softpedia.com/public/cat/12/1/12-1-28.shtml

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

Yep, that'll work. Thanks man.

Captain, use that link to get a good program...the one we found...well, it's not so good. :)

[LA_MERC_MadMAX]

Anytime...

[Captain]

Oh yea 2.53 P4 CPU.... i uninstalled all drivers using RIP.. restarted - Installed 52.16 drivers -- restarted -- Didnt get the error... but It didnt even do as good as the 4600ti... so something is still wrong somewhere... i have no idea

[LA_MERC_MadMAX]

Have you plugged a Power plug into the card itself? It has a spot for one...

ok here is one for you now.... I uninstalled all drivers... Popped in the CD for the card.... Installed its chipset drivers... and its other drivers for the card... It ran amazing on a benchmark for about7-10 mins... the the computer shutsdown... It did the same thing with the game... bah... its only when i play the game it does this...or run a benchmark..

[Captain]

ok i give up!!!!!!! I threw the card at the wall and shattered it

[LA_MERC_MadMAX]

Cap'n - can you just take the card back to where you bought it and get anohter - maybe it was just a bad card?

Also, who made the card - PNY, MSI, Asus, ect...

[LA_MERC_MadMAX]

Nevermind - i just saw it was an asus

[Captain]

i dont think its the card... i just think its the drivers...

[Captain]

Well i have reinstalled windows to clean out everything i have done... and put my old 4600ti back in... Its a shame i cant get this 5950 ultra to work...
