CAUSE

This problem can be caused by timing errors between the video card and the computer when too many of the card's performance features are enabled. ATI Technical Support has confirmed that the problem is caused by subtle differences in bus timing when an ISA card is being used. The problem is computer dependent. On most computers, the bus can handle the increased demands created by the performance options, but some computers cannot. The video card configuration options exist to deal with these instances.

RESOLUTION

Disable one or more of the performance settings on the video card using the Install.exe program included with the ATI video card. For information about configuring the performance settings or using the Install.exe tool, please consult the video card's documentation or manufacturer.
