Hi
So i got a Sapphire HD2900XT
With this lovely new purchase i received a copy of 3dMark 06
Which i installed and prepared to run on my new system
basically the Splash screen comes up and then it hangs.
task manager shows that its not responding.
ive reinstalled it.
ive tried my friends copy of 3d mark
ive reinstalled xp pro
ive reinstalled the gfx drivers
ive updated the gfx drivers
ive patched 3d mark (the copy i have is 1.1.0 )
there seems to be no problem with the card as i play games beautifully now
(upgraded from a 6800)
the card seems to running fine
...so... wtf
My system specs are as follows.
E6850
GIGABYTE "S Series" P35+ICH9R Chipset Socket LGA 775 @ FSB 1333
2 gig DDR2 800
SATA Drives
Sapphire HD2900XT
i know i should just try another benchmarking tool but thats not the principle of the matter
please help
