Radeon 8500 problems Please Help!!

[Xeneize]

Ok I bought the Radeon 8500, and I'm having teo major problems:

1) Max Payne wont run, It loads but then kicks me back to the desktop, I tried all settings in video modes, same thing.
2) Alien vs Predator 2 runs very smooth but when you get to a chain or a metal floor or an elevator the texture sucks, I was able to "correct it" by setting the resolution to maximum (1792x something) but I want to be able to play it on better frame rates (1600x1200)

Any Ideas??
I'm running

P4 1.8
Asus PT4
Raid 0 Fasttrak 100 TX2 with 2 75GXP 75GB
Audigy
SCSI 1542 for my plextor cd, cdrw and Pioneer DVD
Windows XP Professional
and Radeon 8500 (not overclocked)

Runing latest drivers for XP in all cases.

Thanks!!!!

Make sure AGP Fast writes are off in your bios. Other than that, It could be an XP driver issue.

60 FPS, 70 FPS, 80 FPS Crash!
