AMD's more robust and reliable Athlons Robust - or just BUST ? nvplanet.com amadan nVPlanet Newbie Joined: 27 Jun 2002 Posts: 1 Posted: 06-27-2002 03:35 AM Post subject: Ti4200 3D crash -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Back to top MaT Administrator Joined: 05 Dec 2001 Posts: 149 Location: Winnipeg, Canada Posted: 06-30-2002 10:41 PM Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Did you also install install the latest VIA drivers ? Also make sure you have the latest BIOS for you motherboard. _________________ MaT nvplanet.com Back to top Renaldo nVPlanet Newbie Joined: 01 Jul 2002 Posts: 3 Posted: 07-01-2002 09:49 PM Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

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. bye Joël Back to top

AMD will be paying Saifun an upfront licensing fee and will be receiving royalty payments from AMD on each MirrorBit Flash memory product produced with stolen IP from Saifun. AMD was so desparate they had to steal the MirrrorBit technology. Way to go, Hector.

Dan, The 68 to 71C case temp numbers on the Pentium 4 can't be compared to the 85C to 95C die temp numbers on the Athlons - at least by someone such as yourself, who obviously knows absolutely nothing about the FUD he's slinging. Nice try though. You also did a very nice job of distorting the conflicting claims of over-voltage damage. I can't imagine why you thought anyone would care whether 1.85V does or doesn't kill a part specified to run at 1.5V, but you certainly made it sound scary. OOOOH... really scary. What next? Does the color of the Pentium attract aliens? -Ted
