Yes, I have no more problems after turning this off. It is just weird it would shut my whole system down, and return to IDE mode. Especially since it is only when using the advanced setting and not standard. Maybe I should try and contact ATI, and see if they can explain it.
The card itself is fine though, and has served me well for many years. And I dont think it is getting retired any time soon, as I am not playing many graphic heavy games lately. Maybe when Empire: Total War comes out, but these games really gets on my nerves. I spent more time modding them, than actually playing them
But I am also spending a lot of times trying to figure out which of the campaigns in WIA to play. So many to choose from
Thank goodness we don't understand the language of ravens, jackdaws, crickets, frogs, and pigs. Otherwise we'd probably worry about what they think too. Yet how many people seem more brainless than the frogs and jackdaws? Does that make any difference to us? No. We let what they say upset us and render our lives utterly miserable.
