I have a hunch that this is the problem. Have you tried 2.6.27 without the proprietary ATI drivers? This is the first thing I would suspect because ATI drivers are not reputed --- or so I believe --- for being the best quality software out there. Either way, we need to eliminate as many factors as possible and one of these factors is your ATI driver change. I don't know much about Prime95, but if it won't simulate a subtlety in your video drivers, especially how proprietary ATI drivers will play with kernel 2.6.27. ------=_Part_92356_1031186.1227234028594 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline On 11/20/08, Nikos Chantziaras <realnc@arcor.de> wrote:
