Vista - Sapphire ATI X1950XT problem

hi all,

i have this card and when i run any game, my system crash and restart
itself.
my drivers are the newest and everything is installed correctly (no hardware
conflict).
in xp it works absolutely smoothly.

thx for reply

How did you manage to identify the graphics card as the offending hardware?

because it always crash when the system is going to full screen in 3D.
if i run any game in window (UT2004) , it works smoothly, but when it turns
to full screen it crash and restart.

I have this card and it works fine in my Vista install.

Check that you have the power cable attached to your card and check it's
temperature.

It seems there is a problem with the x1950xt...... It's not supported by
windows Vista. I found this posted on the ATI/AMD site in the new features
part of the new 7.2 catalyst drivers out today. Theres a nice traffic light
sign that say CAUTION X1950XT cards are not yet supported by windows VISTA.
Seems they want to keep this quiet
