System: Windows XP home, msi 6728 mo board, 2.6 p4, 2 gig ram

I installed a brand new ATI Radeon X850 Pro card and did a fresh install of
XP home. I started cfs2 and crash during flight then installed cfs3 and in
less time, crash! The system restarted. The windows error said it was a
driver issue both times. Im not sure what to do now. Older drivers for a new
card? Im left with limited options. Im going to see if my other cd drive
works and maybe something totally unexpected is the problem...Any ideas???
Well, I played cfs3 on the min vid settings 600x80 16 bit and I was able to
play non stop but when I set to the same with 32 bit the computer rebooted
when I crashed the plane (more graphics needed, I guess) so now what? I got
the new card after my nvidia card did the same thing, it was an fx5900

Have you tried updating the drivers for the motherboard chipset itself?

Yes, not sure which ones to get. Its a MS 865pe neo 2 ms6728 board. There
are so many drivers. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry for taking a while to get back to you on this, but the site has barely
been responding to me for the past day, and now it's working but it's just
throwing up server errors when I try to navigate to the listing!

So I'm making stabs in the dark, the most likely ones would be an AGP
driver, or the chipset driver.
