@jcl: I can't post it at the moment, it's not my pc and I don't have access to it, but when I can I'll see if we can get the acklog.

@EvilSOB & jcl: I would normally agree with you, but the problem is singled out to A6, no other problems whatsoever with anything else. The pc he has was built, so not bought from a manufacturer. I'll recommend the person trying it, but like I said, A6 is singled out in this problem. Not to mention that the pc that has the Ati X1950 didn't have it originally either, it had changed cards and we didn't have any problems out of it either.

edit: I emailed the guy that has the two 9800s and told him to do the diagnostic run for the acklog and to reinstall his directx without uninstalling it. He should either give me the results or post them himself (he's a part of this forum).
