club 3d HD 3850 AGP PROBLEMS

[wazi]

i got a problem with my bros pc
he has a club 3d hd3850 agp and it crashed the pc
i have tried the latest driver from ati/amd website but they apparently are not compatible
i think i am not the only one who has this problem and apologize prefusly if this has been answered before

3850 should be compatible with the current release of catalyst driver package.

Couple of questions is this a new card? or has it developed this fault?

Either way you need to test the card in another PC to check if it is the card or something else. My other thought would be that it is a power supply issue.

i got the card second hand ( £5 at boot sale ) dont think the card had been used previously
i have asus 350w psu
i havent got another agp board
also the drivers when they start up say they arent comaptible with card or op system

If the drivers are complaining about the OS, then it might be worth double checking you have the right version of em for your system. Also double check the readme or whatever of the driver package for your card. Does the card fan spin up ok? And your getting basic display from it without any drivers?

I've had some carboot bargains myself. but five quid for that card seems way to good to be true, no?

i know m8ty
my bro went a few weeks back ( he owed me £5 ) and said there was a gf card with a big fan i said get it and we are quits

im sure there is a driver issue which causes the crash
ive just dl'd the club hd3850 version 244mb
so i will see how it goes
