Like the other guy was saying, chipset drivers. Uninstall your card completely, run driver cleaner, and physically take it out perhaps. Install the latest chipset drivers for your agp slot. These are easy to install, when I did mine it was as simple as just running an exe I downloaded -...

I think I've found one reason for some of my crashes. I've noticed if I play wc3, and alt tab during gameplay, then go back and play, upon exiting the program my system will crash. If I don't alt tab any, I don't crash upon exiting the program. This appears to be the trend at least. I've had...

Yeah, I have it hooked up. I'm not overclocking any, is there really no need for the extra voltage then ? If that's the case, thanks.

I'm using a biostar ideq 200t, and having some weird problems with my radeon 9800 pro. I've read suggestions of upping the voltage to 1.7volts, but I'm not finding an option for this when going through my bios. Any suggestions on how I can go about changing the voltage ?

The system is as follows : Biostar Ideq 200T SFF case 1 gig of Corsair pc3200 valueram (2x512) P4 2.8ghz 800mhz fsb 120 gb Seagate HD sapphire 9800 pro 128mb I've only had one crash since I switched to the more basic drivers but I really need to install more games to get better testing. I...

Just read somethin on a different board and giving it a shot now. In completely uninstalled the big ATI drivers, ran driver cleaner, and then installed only the display drivers. Kept away from the control panel garbage etc. So far so good - just ran WC3 and Far Cry and neither crashed upon...

Well I got everything today and built my system, but I've had the computer restart by itself a few times. It always seems to happen when quitting a game and going back to the desktop. The card is a Sapphire 9800 Pro 128mb, and I went to the ati site and got the latest drivers already. I also...

Is the 220 watts sufficient to run the following system fine ? - 1 IDE HD - 1 DVD-Rom - p4 2.8ghz not overclocked - Radeon 9800 pro - Creative audigy zs - 2x256mb ram sticks

I'm making a new machine soon and going to be using a Biostar ideq 200T. I'm eventually going to get a much better card. For now I'm looking at possibly a Sapphire 9800 Pro (probably buy in March/April). I've read this is a hot card, and I don't plan on overclocking anything in the computer...

I read that the 2.8ghz with HT is going to drop to ~178 on February 1st...anybody know if there is any truth to this? I'm about to build a new system and I figure its worth waiting a week if this is the case.

If you plan on running a P4 with HT, should you go Pro for the whole pseudo dual processor advantages ?

I've tried to do some reading on the subject but I'm having no luck. I'm going to be making a new machine soon and I'm uncertain what I should do about the RAM. I will be getting either a 2.6 or 2.8 ghz p4, which will be used for some gaming, and then just the general internet activities of...
