When i insert my Diamond Stealth II S220 (Rendition Verite 2100) into the PC it shows bios information normally, loads up windows normally (in 16 color mode), but when i install drivers, which install normally, it again reboots in 16 color mode with drivers installed.
When i try to change graphical settings trough both Properties > Settings or Diamond properties the computer freezes.
Could this indicate faulty graphical adapter?

That is quite unfortunate.

Does the same thing happen if you use some other video card? Might be corrupt windows installation. I once had the same problem with System properties, whenever I tried to open that window, the computer froze.

If everything else is okay, I would blame the drivers.

Oh i see, i guess i should try reinstalling.
I think that that might be the cause because when installing drivers i did not restart when windows detected the card but installed them right away, replacing some other files.

Multitude of possibilities here, try;

- Cleaning the cards contacts
- Using different drivers
- Using a different PCI slot
- Seeing if it installs drivers correctly with no other devices plugged in on the PCI/ISA buses.

So many combinations to make, so few cases to put them in.

Today i finally reinstalled it and cleaned the contacts.
It works flawlessly 😀

Even did an Reality benchmark. Kinda funny that Voodoo Rush is better.
