Hi!!
i have a big prob with XP when i want to play a game like CS, Ballistics, every 3D game it Freezes or reboots itself???!!!???
PLZ HELP ME
I have a
Asus A7S333 mainbord
256 mb samsung DDR pc2700 memory
Athlon XP1700+ palmino prossor
and a InnoVision Gforge4 ti4200 64 mb DDR
and it's not overheating!!!!!
Welcome to the forum anocin. Please post often as we love a challenge.
Are you over clocking the CPU? This could have an effect on the AGP slot as the same bus clock could be used for both the CPU and the AGP timing. If you are try returning to the factory default setting.
You may have a memory problem. If your 256 meg is in 2 128 meg sticks try removing one and testing your system again. If the problem is still there reinstall the stick that you had out and pull the other stick and test again.
If neither proves to be the problem please post again with more information about your conditions and system.
i have not overclocked the graphic card or the processor, and the memmory is in 1 stick and it's tested for fault.
it's Win Xp pro as Os, and i haven't been messing with it yet :)
and the graphic driver is the nVidia 40.41b i know it's a beta but it's the best i've tried or the one working best!!
I would personally try a older more stable driver. and test the games. but del the driver completely before installing the older one...so there is no leftovers.
If you go to Start> My Computer> Properties> Advanced> Startup & Recovery> Settings , you'll see a box Automatic restart . un-check that box & the next time the crash happens it won't reboot on it's own plus it'll give ya a error message with the error.
Then we'll know for sure what the error is...probley NV_4 infinite loop though or IRQ not less or equal....??
Good point there FG. We do need some more information to be able to properly diagnose the problem........
This is series of PM's that I had with anocin this morning in an effort to expedite solving his problem. The issue is not totally resolved as of yet however.
Anyone have any ideas for anocin?

(Tinker) If you are getting total freeze it must be the video card that is locking up. What are your BIOS setting for the AGP?
I juz got a blue screen when i played!!!
this is what it said:
PNF_LIST_CORRUPT
Technical info:
*** STOP: 0x0000004e (0x00000099,0x0000d29c,0x00000001,0x00000000)
hope u can use it for something!!
i will go check my bios setting be back in 10 min

I fell that progress has been made however it is not yet there. I ran out of time and had to do other things. Any help anyone?
I did a search and this is all I came up with...
Windows Search
NTFSD Archive
There's nothing listed anywhere under XP...all things for NT & 2000 , I'm sure the fix is the same ????
Good stuff FastGame, never dawned on me to look under 2k..:smash:
My suggestion is to try the 30.82 whql Nvidia drivers.
from fastgames link
To troubleshoot this behavior:
Run hardware diagnostic tools that are provided by your computer manufacturer.
Disable all file system filter drivers, such as backup utilities, virus scanners, or firewall software.
View the following Microsoft Web site to verify that the hardware and the drivers for the hardware are compatible with Windows 2000:

*If you receive this error message randomly, or when you try to start a program, remove extra memory or have the random access memory (RAM) in your computer tested. This behavior may occur if you have bad RAM.*
look into the ram
borrow some from a friend
if you cant
try some of these memory test programs
