Hi, took this out of an older PC but when I installed it in a newer one, it
just crashes whenever any 3D is involved. Works fine for desktop and 2D
progs. Fan works + power plug is in, used latest drivers (+ previous ones
too just in case). Any ideas? Thx

Overheating? Probalby overheating!
 
Alex,
My 9500 pro did the same thing with 3D games and it stopped when I replaced
my cheap 300w power supply with a antec 400w.

Hmm, that would be a simple solution, the new case is definitely a cheapo
one... I suspect this might be the problem rather than overheating (thanks
for suggestion tho Avenger!). Unfortunately when I took the card out again,
I bent the power socket on it about 45 degrees; hopefully it'll still work
but knowing me...*sigh*

Thx again,

Alex
