Q: After my Geforce 2 GTS is deceased, I ordered the Rose Will 9600 video card from Newegg. The first one I got within 24 hours after installing the deceased and I RMAd it back. The second one I received seems to work. However, when I try to run almost any game, the screen flickers constantly or completely black. I tried this with several games, including new (Armies of Exigo) and old (Heroes of Might and Magic 4) and I am having similar problems.
My system:
AMD 1.33 gig
Epox EP 8K7A + motherboard
512MB Ram
Windows XP Corporate Pro
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Ive reformmated and has a fresh install, updated to the latest drivers and downloaded the latest version of Direct X. I also tested my system with an old video card (Diamond Viper I think) from a system that I had about 7 years ago and it was the older games fine. Anyone have any idea what the problem is?
Thanks
Best Answer: Taking apart and putting back together is best left to experts. It is important to have experience, or you may wind up breaking something or shorting out your motherboard or CPU. For more information, email me at Compbuilder1@gmail.com.

Re:Well, I managed to fix the Direct X 7 problem by disabling AGP options in the bios. However, Direct X 8 is still not working and Direct X 9 is still flickering a lot and also not working correctly. I'm starting to think this is a motherboard incompatibility issue.

Re:AGP texture acceleration was enabled. Also, AGP speed is set to 4x and fast write is set to on in the ATI video card options.

Re:Since I was reinstalling Windows, I zeroed out the hard drive and then reinstalled so I didn't have to remove the old drivers.
When I ran the DXDIAG display tests, the DirectDraw tests worked fine. However, the Direct3D test didn't work for Direct3D 7 and 8. Here is the info I received:
No problems found.
DirectDraw test results: All tests were successful.
Direct3D 7 test results: Failure at step 32 (User verification of Direct3D rendering): HRESULT = 0×00000000 (error code)
Direct3D 8 test results: Failure at step 32 (User verification of Direct3D rendering): HRESULT = 0×00000000 (error code)
Direct3D 9 test results: All tests were successful.
For Direct3D 9, the test showed the image but it flickered a little.

Re:How did you remove the old drivers before installing the card?
Did you use Driver Cleaner?
Edit:
I'm sorry. I should have read the entire post before saying something!
I missed the part about reformatting.
