Using a Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600, with 256mb... and Dawn of War keeps crashing. I'm updated to latest ATI drivers (omega drivers didn't help) and it always crashes in online games. It's on the same IRQ as other devices... I don't even know where I'd begin on giving needed info... any help appreciated.

mine doesnt crash but with the latest ati drivers i just get massive slowdown .... stupid ati (please note I DIDN'T have slowdown before installing the drivers).
I hope you get yours working though because dawn of war is one [bleep] of a game.

what error does it give? do you have the patches installed?

[OHTEHNOES]

It doesn't give me an error... patches are installed. I think it's my network card in conflict with my video card -- or something like that. But, I don't know for sure. Umm, usually my comp just crashes, roughly 20 minutes into the game... no clue why. Happens with some other games... but it got worse after i updated. Lemme see,

full system info...

I can get more info if anything would help... I'm going to try rolling back drivers to find a better match, if anyone has an idea of what to do that'd be great, thanks.
