dual ATI 3870x2 cards, Intel X9650, 6 GB RAM, windows 7...
My computer has never really worked right and I think the issue is my ATI cards (which were recently replaced, but still having issues). First, I am not able to update the most recent drivers, no idea why, goes through the install but reverts back to the older version.
Sometimes computer can't come on after sleep (get a long beep, which Dell said is a video card issue), somtimes computer freezes (just reinstalled windows 7 64bit ie software isnt the issue)
Anyone else experience these types of problems, would I be better off going with a single Nvidia card, if so any suggestions? I use my computer for video production and photography stuff...dont game at all...
I am a complete amateur when it comes to video cards, their abilities, pro's con's...just want something that will work.
Thanks in advance for everyone's help
