I bought a radeon 9600 pro and upgraded from a voodoo5500, which worked flawlessly with RallyMasters game running under windows xp and 98. However now the game crashes and locks up my system with the blue screen and no error messages. It almost seems to happen randomly, as it can happen during a race or upon replay after a race. Sometimes I can run 10 or more races without a problem, or it will happen at the first race. I am running a athlon 1400MHZ, Radeon 9600 pro with the latest catalyst 4.3 drivers, windows xp home edition, 512 MB, Creative blaster 512 soundcard. I have tried using "ENDITALL 2" to kill background processes to no avail. Updated windows. Any ideas. Also F12001 and GTR2002 crash fairly randomly too, but they did so even with the voodoo 5 card. It is really bothersome when a game crashes and you cannot see a specific situation that will always cause it to hang. Also, noticed that the new Colin Mcrae 4 demo will crash to the blue screen no error message, sometimes at the midpoint of a race, and sometimes it will let you finish the race and crash the next time you race the same exact track.

Could be a powersupply problem if you are getting lots of crashing in your 3D games. 9600 is more power hungry than the V5.
