I have a radeon 8500 64meg ddr Built by ATI and have replaced every
component possible, only to still have the problem. I have been following
Rage 3d forums and ATI tech support. I would like to hear from those that
had the problem and those also that are unable to correct it.
I have replaced the mobo from an abit BE6 to an Asus P4b and the power
supply to an Antec true power 430w still have the loop. This is the second
8500. Very frustrating. I have built several computers and this problem has
been 6 months of cost and frustration

Well I bought the NVIDIA ti 4200 and sure enough had an infinite loop in
BF1942. Really puzzled. Have more than sufficient cooling, 430 watt
PS,AsusP4b. I am thinking Mobo but wrote intel to see if they were aware if
issues with the D845wn and have not yet heard back. Any suggestions?
