problem with video

[hulpesergiu]

Hi,i recently reinstaled windows...and 3d studio max,version 2008.And i have some problems with the display,the geometry sometimes turns black when i select it,and some other problems happen,some times it dissapears,and i have to select something else for it to appear.I thaught it was a 3d studio problem but,i installed today alias studio tools 2008,and i seem to have the same problem.I remember having this in max 9 too.My video card is ati radeon x1600 with 256mb,i have a 3600+ Amd dual core processor,1 gig of ram.Please help me I am very stressed out,i can't work like this.
i also tried changing the driver to the latest,but it doesn't work

what is you graphics driver in max? OpenGL or Direct3d?

[hulpesergiu]

i've tried open gl and direct 3d,both give the same results.the problem is that i just got alias studio tools,and the problem is bigger here,the hole stuff dissapears,and it apears when i click the shader for example but when i move the viewport it dissapears again.please help me because i can't get any work done

well, buddy, the problem seems to be the graphic card, more exactly , the drivers.(also try some older driver versions).
don't know, try switching the graphic card with one of a friend and see if the problem persists.

dak persista, iti sugerez sa arunci calculatorul si sa iei altul :P

thanks for the advice petter,hope i will hear from you on yahoo messanger i haven't seen you online in ages.And also i don't think that there is something wrong with my video card because games seem to run well without any problems.

i noticed that a wierd sound was coming from the pc when i do certain things,like move a window,or move around the viewport.i opened the case and listened closely,and i thaught that the sound was coming from the video card,but i tried with a borowed one,and it kept making that sound,very wierd.so tomorow i'm taking the baby to a professional service
