3D Mark 03 Crashing

[ScousePete]

Since upgrading my MOBO and CPU (Asus A7N8X Deluxe + AMD XP 3000) my graphics card will not start the 2nd test of 3D Mark 03 without crashing (but worked fine albeit slow on my previous hardware).

Any ideas?

Thanks

overclocked at all?

What power supply do you have?

 

[ScousePete]

Forgot to mention, Ge Force FX 5600 256 DDR

Not overclocked, 450 W PSU (also upgraded)

Could there be any BIOS settings I should change?

I spent months trying to find out what made my machine crash on 3dmark and finally found out what it was.

Try running it with the side of the case off.

If it runs ok then it's a overheating problem. Strange but true!

Hey guys I would like to know my 3D mark for my graphics card. Where do i go to see it ? Because in another forum i asked about a new graphics card if anyone hasn't seen my other post please have a look.

Is it a software i have to buy to see my 3D mark ?

Thanx

3DMark 2003 wouldn't run on my machine (spec in sig) until I installed SP2 to Win XP Pro.

Jesus ! 3 hours of downloading later !!! lol
I ran it, and it didn't run smoothly at all ?! Here are what some of the stats are:

Game tests 3D mark score : 284
GT1 - Return to proxycon 1.0 fps
GT2 - Firefly Forest 0.9 fps
GT3 - Canyon flight 1.6 fps

CPU tests CPU score : 1755
CPU test 1 1.2 fps
CPU test 2 1.2 fps

Now to me that is so PATHETIC ! I am really going to buy the graphics card that i posted about earlier no matter what ! It was so jolty and not smooth what so ever

Please tell me how pathetic that is so i can proove to my bro and dad that we need a new one to play our games better and to pay me some money for a new graphics card ! Even though i do have quite a bit of money lol my bro will use the pc from time to time with MY graphics card !

I thought my graphics card would have performed a LITTLE bit better then that !

That was done using 3D mark 05

Thanx lol
