Softpro Conversion (VERY unstable)

    I managed to patch the drivers with rivatuner but when I install them my system is very unstable, the desktop freezes and sometimes restarts itself.

    The first time I did this (on a fresh xp pro install) it kept re-setting itself over and over untill I switched it off for 5 mins. When I tried to restart just after the bios loaded I got this error -

    <windows root>\system32\hal.dll

    I then had to re-install xp pro again. This time I installed dx9, via Hyperion drivers and patched the ati drivers before installing them. Same thing.

    Thought I'd post as I didn't get the usual artifact, checker board, can't find .sy_ !!!111 problems.

    What mod do you mean? R9700->FireGL or R9500->R9500PRO/R9700?

    Sorry should have said.

    It's the R9500 - R9700.

    System spec:

    Athlon 1.33
    Kt7A
    512 Crucial cas-2 RAM
    Sonicfury soundcard
    XP Pro

    Nothing oc'd

    Any ideas?

    I install the patched drivers correctly. The chip type displays 9700 but xp restarts almost immediately and is totally unstable.

    I have a Chieftec 300W ps - maybe that's the problem?

    I'm afraid that the GPU is the reason.
