ViperLair reports that the ATi AIW 9700 Pro is a great card, but some users may experience a PC shutdown issue... at least we did. If this affects you, you may want to checkout our workaround. The majority of upgrades that people go through with their computers usually go without a hitch, but now and then problems do arise. I was lucky enough to get my hands on the ATI AIW Radeon 9700 Pro that Hubert reviewed here as an upgrade for my old GeForce 4 Ti4600. I was pretty happy to get this card since even when it becomes "old" it'll make a great basis for a future HTPC with its multimedia capabilities and the Remote Wonder to go with it. When it arrived though I discovered a rather annoying issue. Upon hardware installation, my computer wouldn't power up for more than a second before shutting down.
