screw you ATi!
So yeah, I bought an ATi Radeon 9600 Pro video card, and it's a pile of crap. Everytime I try to start up a game, it freezes my computer. Sometimes, it just randomly defaults my display setting to the lowest possible, and says that Windows recovered from a serious device error, and that it's caused by device drivers. Also, whenever I connect my LCD using the DVI cable, my computer won't even perform a POST (although that might be a BIOS problem :dunno: )
the worst part is that ATi customer service sucks! There support number is a 900 number and they charge you ~$2.50 a minute. :down: and they make it difficult to find out how to send them an e-mail, and when you do, they send you a response that seems automated and pretty general. :madfawk:
