Hi
I have just done a rebuild using a Gigabyte EP43-S3L with an E7400 C2D, 2Gb of Corsair Dominator 8500 and a Silver Power SP-SS500 PSU. I am re-using an HIS X1950 GPU. OS is XP Home
The machine is very unstable with graphics crashing frequently and on Steam games only software rendering will work.
On the Intelligent Tweaker page of the BIOS when the Robust Graphics Booster is selected there is a message in the Item Help window that reads as follows "Warning: VGA graphics card is not guaranteed to operate normally" This is in red. It is there regardless of the Robust Graphics Booster setting.
Are there any BIOS setting that would get things right and remove this message and hopefully sort out the machine.
Latest ATI drivers are installed and Direct X updated. I have tried an X800 instead and that works well and I have tested the X1950 in another machine and it seems fine. I have tested the voltage of the PCI-E power plug and that seems good too.
