MS 6340 & radeon 9000 pro

Question

hi all,
I have recently purchased a radeon 9000 pro, so i can play the new game HOMEWORLD 2! however. When ig ot it i followed the instructions and the card worked, when i opened the demo of the game i had downloaded it crashed, i then rebooted my pc and the screen didnt come back on. I removed the card from the AGP slot and plugged the monitor back into the VGA slot. it came back on! i re-installed, and it worked, i opened the game again, set all its settings to min and played, it crashed again a few seconds into the game.
i removed card and rebooted.
I have tried resetting the cpu to factory settings with the software that came with it and then uninstalling the prosavage S3 adaptor, by removing the driver and the device from device manager, installing then the radeon and hey presto, ... nothing. ! i am now stuck, people have told em to disable the VGA adaptor, but i dont know how, the manual that i ahve downloaded for this motherbaord give pics of the bios screens, but the pics are not reflecting what i see in my bios screen! and theres nothing suggesting disabling the VGA, even if i did do that, i dont know if the screen would come back on! as stated above.
any more information i will glady post please please please help me!

Hi,
Assaf could well be right that you have a power problem here ... I would not mmediately think of BIOS problems in this case (although your system appears to be quite old and Tiny used to have their own BIOS versions).
I understand that your system worked (& works) but that the system will crash ONLY when you try to run Homeworld 2, correct?
Are you sure that DirectX 9 is installed (you may check that using DXDIAG)? For this new game DX9 is necessary!
