HELP!! RADEON 9700 PRO PROBLEM!! HELP!!

[TaiwaneseKai]

Ok, u might have read my DirectX 9.0 problem thread before, but now i found out that its not my DirectX, its my video card. I ran 3Dmark2001SE and everythings pretty fine for the first 2 levels, then the third level (the one with the dragon), it just stops somewhere between the start and finish. Then my computer automatically restarts and then Windows says something like "Radeon 9700 Pro was responsible for this system instability"
ok, well i posted this problem in another forum, and someone suggested me to turn off my VPU Recover thing, and i did, but i still got the same thing, it just stops. Will somebody please help me??

you could check and make sure fast writes are off, i think its a bios option ~ i dunno if newer ati cards still have that issue though

oh...its wierd tho cuz this mobo has this "newer" bios thing and its FRICKIN hard to use...i dont know how to use it...~ arg...is there any way to turn off fast write without bios?

oh yea, im using the Asus SK8N mobo..

i think there is a thing in the configuration with the drivers, but its with the default settings, i forgot how to get to it with mine

is it good to be overclocked, or no?

Um, I think you can turn of fast writes in the video card settings from windows. (at least you can on mine). and do you have the newest drivers??
