Ati 8500dv aiw crashing in 3dmark
It's a Radeon aiw 8500dv 64mb
I got this card the other day, and upon setting it up and finally getting the drivers installed correctly (thanks btg) I tried to run 3dmark 2001 to see if the card is the same power-wise as my old 8500. Well, about two minutes into the test, it bombs, resulting in this funky looking screen
(see below).
I installed it w/ both the 3.4 and 3.7 catalyst drivers, I know it's not overheating b/c the fan is turning and I also have a case fan blowing on it. I turned off fast writes and made the graphic aperture 128 mb. The computer is vverclocked, but I have the agp speeds locked.
Any ideas?

Have you tried setting everyting back to the defaults? You know, de-OC the thing.

Yeah, well, I guess I could. Of course it would be like putting that straight six 250 back in my Nova instead of the 350 it could have 
I'll try it and post back...

I know, but your old 8500 may have been a better OC'er than this one.
Kind of a pain, I know.

| I'm not o/cing the 8500 at all though, just the cpu. In fact, even my ram is at normal speed.
However, it's on the 9th test right now w/ no overclocking on the computer at all. That's further than it's gotten before, but again, there's these funky pixels along the top that have never been there before.
and DPA, that's not what I wanted to hear  | |

Good news and bad. I put it back to stock, upgraded to 3.7 and ran it, everything was fine, got 7102 points (which is lousy, imo). So I slowly overclocket it back to 2600 speeds (on a 1700 chip) and ran the test again.
8202 points. Is it me or does that seem low? It's been awhile since I had the old 8500 and I had a ti4200 in the interim, so I guess I could be spoiled a bit, but I got 12000+ w/ the Ti
