I just finished my first home built system. When I try to play either Q3F, Half-Life or Counter Strike the whole computer locks up. I can't even ctrl, alt, del to get out.
So far I have reinstalled each game, tried DirectX 8.0 and 7.0, and reinstalled Windows. I have my games on a separate partition but I wouldn’t think that would matter. I have also tried different setting in my BIOS. My current BIOS settings are:
-AGP Aperture Size: 64M (I have tried 128M as well)
-AGP 4X Mode: Disabled (I have tried enabled as well)
-K7-CLK.CTL Select: Default (only other option is optimal, which didn’t work)
My System:
900 T-Bird (not overclocked)
EPOX 8KTA2 MB (latest 4 in 1 drivers)
256MB RAM
VisionTek GeForce 256 32MB DDR (latest DET drivers)
Diamond Monster MX300 (latest A3D drivers)
IBM Deskstar 75GXP HDD
Windows 98SE
I really don’t know what else to try. If you have ANY suggestions please let me know. Thanks in advance.
