ATI 9500 problems
Ok, I'm not really sure whats going on here so I'm hoping that one of ya'll do.
I just bought a new ATI 9500 as something to tide me over until next year when I upgrade my entire system. The problem is that when I turn on the computer the screen fills with white vertical lines, different color squares, all kinds of weird stuff. This happens in the BIOS too, not just windows. The weird thing is that if I turn the computer off and back on in less than 5 seconds the card works perfectly. It even runs 3dMark fine. This has happened every time so it's not just some freaky coincidence.
If it didn't work at all I'd understand, but working after a reboot is something I've never come accross. If anybody has some ideas I'd be happy to hear them.
The specs are:
Radeon 9500AGP
Intel Motherboard w/ 1.5Ghz P4
640Mb RDRAM
WD 120GB
WD 40GB
Sound Blaster Live
400W Antec PSU
