HI,

I have XP Pro SP3 and a gigabyte Radeon HD4850 Display card on an Asus
P5Q3 mobo. It has 4GB RAM and 650 Watts power. No over clocking, just
straight.

For some reason the screen goes black every now and then and then reboots.

In event viewer there no problem show except this is ACEEventLog.

Any ideas what may be causing it. It is so random and just happens
anytime.


Any help please?

Hi,

I have just uninstalled everything ATI from Device Mgr and Add/Remove
Programs but not sure what to replace them with. I have the orig CD
that came with the 4850 however that has been updated.

What version of ATI Catalyst do I need to download and install?

Thanks

rock

First you use the CD that the Video Card came from
(Go to Device Management First write down what Video card it says there, and
then "Uninstall" the Video Card
It will go to "VGA" mode and then when you reboot
it should ask for a cd
If you don't have a CD or the install doesn't install the Video Driver
Go to ATI and download the correct Driver for your card
(You may have to do some home work to find out what you have.)
Russ

Thanks

Yes I did this and used Driver Sweep then installed the latest ATI 10-1
drivers and catalyst.

It stayed up without a black screen and reboot for a couple of days but
I have noticed it has now rebooted again a couple of time over the last
few hours.

I used Memtest 86 and each stick passes by itself but when I put them
both in (any slot,) it does not finish the test but reboots after a few
seconds.

Any ideas where to go now?

Thanks

It sounds like the 2nd slot may be bad.
(IE cold Solder Joint)
Do you have another stick to try?
Russ

No I don't and as they both work separately and I am told that XP
doesn't recognise any more than 3GB or so, I am not sure what I would
gain by getting another one.

This is the only mobo I have that takes this new type of Ram as well.

Is there another reason for me to buy another?

I am not sure whether I mentioned it but I have an Asus P5Q3 mobo with
the 2GB a stick RAM and 650W power.

This mobo also has the 3rd Sata plug on the mobo is somehow blocked and
I can't use it as the plug will not click in enough, so maybe it is time
that I did a return?

Thanks for the time

Well I was thinking of Troubleshooting
Since they both work in slot one, and it's only when you put in the 2nd slot
it fails
(Meaning I think Slot 2 may be bad.)
I was thinking if you had one more you could absolutely be sure it's the
slot.
Any chance this board is on Warranty?
