--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a Gainward GeForce4 Ti4200 which will not run 3D. It keeps crashing. So far I've tried the latest drivers along with the shipped ones, dumped the AGP down to 2x and disabled fast writes, added the AMD registry patch and reinstalled win2000, all to no avail.
The MBD is a gigabyte K7VRXP (KT333 chipset) and the CPU is a 2100 XP athlon. I've tried all the fixes i could find for this prob but nothing has worked yet. It sounds like an AGP problem but I don't know what to do next.
Hope you fine folk can help me

Also make sure you have the latest BIOS for you motherboard.

I also have a new GA-7VRXP with the latest Via 4in1s (4.40), the latest Nvidia reference drivers (29.42) for my PNY Verto GeForce4 Ti-4200. And, I also have the lock-up problems when running 3D games, especially with, but not limited to, Jedi Knight II - Outcast. I have tried different BIOS settings for AGP (4X, 2X, 1X, fast writes enabled/disabled, agp read synchronization enabled/disabled, Ultra/Fast/Normal mode, etc.) and the only thing that seemed to work was AGP 1X. I'm not happy with AGP1X because it's not what I should be able to run at (severely bandwidth limiting considering today's games). BTW, I have an Athlon XP 2100+ and 512M of PC2700 Samsung memory. I currently have a 300W power supply, but just ordered a 400W Antec in hopes of solving the problem (which could be insufficient current or wattage supply?). I also am going to try removing one of the sticks of DDR SDRAM to see if that helps. I will let you know the results. Please let me know of any suggestions or fixes you come across.
Thanks,
Renaldo

I have a leadteak winfast 250 (ti 4200) & a gigabyte 7vrxp and I experience the same problems when running 3d (in the games f1 racing championship & the demo of c&c renegade it hangs after a while. So i think its a common problem. I have tried it on win2000 & winme and the both crash. I someone knows a fix for this please reply this thread.
