Hello all,
I got an OEM G400 32 MB single head. I uninstall all previous drivers from my Voodoo 3 2000 b4 i install my G400. I follow the uninstall driver instructions at Matrox.com and then i install the card, with the drivers on the cd. Then i uninstall the drivers and install the newest 5.13 powerdesk drivers. Everything runs great...the demo...my OGL games...my D3D game. Up untill the point when i power down my pc and start it back up(not "restart" but "shutdown"). Once i start it back up...ALL games including the tech temo crash and it wont run. When i mean crash i mean...the screen freezes and the sound loops. I have tried uninstalling and installing this card over and over again. Now...i am thinking to myself...maybe this is the price i pay for buying OEM. But then...i think...well shit if it works fine until i shut down my PC...then it must be a tech problem...of somesort.
My systems Specs:
Celeron 366 (not overclocked)---upgradin to a P3 500 when prices drop in Aug.
128 MB ram
8.1 gig HDD
Diamond MX300 sound card
PCI card for cable modem
40x cd rom
G400 32 OEM single Head (never tried overclocking)
Please help me ppl...i love this card when it works...i hate having to use my 16 bit V3...it sux so bad compared tothe G400
