Hi,
another problem has just started up. My system seems to be quite unstable and whenever i play an advanced game like Deus Ex or run 3DMark2001 it sometimes crashes. Also my 3DMark2001 score has dropped to about 1250 (was about 1110 but i tweaked it up a bit).
The problem started after i moved my PCI cards around and did my first bit of tweaking.

If all else fails...

Sit down, write down exactly what you've changed. Change it back. Try again.

What graphics card/drivers/operating system are you using? Some combinations cause problems - for example, win2k 12.41 detonator drivers seem much less stable than older releases.

hmmm, sounds like a graphics card problem, check the card to see if it physically damaged (any fans on it are working and unobstructed, no scartches or chips etc). If not have you changed the slot it was in?? If you have, leave it where it is and right click on My Computer and go to properties. Select the Device Manager tab and find your graphics card. Right click it and select remove. Then shut down your computer and put in back in the slot it was in. Or, I could be completely wrong, which I often am.
