x800 pro help

I have an ATI x800pro and am having the weirdest errors in a certain game.

I am able to play WoW and BF2 fine on high settings but when i play Shadowbane i have the weirdest errors i have ever seen. BF2 however will not draw things at far distances (i.e. people can see me before i can see them).

one is a C++ error and the other in an AutoArchitect error with no reference number or anything. It just says it is unable to draw. In addition, the game will totaly freeze and lock my machine up completely.

i have an AMD 3100+ and the following Shuttle System Shuttle XPC SN85G4V3 AMD Socket 754 AMD Athlon 64 FX/Athlon 64/Sempron nVIDIA nForce3 250 2x 184Pin none.

I have one gig of memory, a DVD burner and nothing else so i dont think power is an issue. I have questioned if heat is an issues.

I got the same errors in this game even with a complete fresh restall, fresh updates, and fresh drivers both Catalyst and Omega.

One person i talked to thought my card might be in its death throws...

Anyone have this error or problems before?

Are you sure it isn't software related? Could be drivers.

I'd check for card overheating just incase though...

I did a compelte clean install, with fully updated bios, drivers and the bit...

I also played with my shuttle case off and a fan blowing directly on the unit...

no luck...

are you overclocking at all? just seems like a strange error. Honestly i would try and run a mem test on the system and see if you get any memory errors.
