I did fry a CPU originally when i built this system and had to get a new CPU, could it be possible I damaged the motherboard and it is causing these problems?

I also noticed that all the games i'm having problems in are Direct3D games

Yes. Either the vid card itself the port or yes the motherboard herself.  How did the CPU get fried on the first goround?

Oh it's locking up too.

My friend says if i go into BIOS and upp the voltage a bit it should help.

I'm running a 300Watt (or volt or whatever they use to measure) Power supply BTW

Soviet if you have SB live in your system, I'd get rid of acpi - my box just wouldnt run with acpi enabled.

Urchin: if AH is the only game that uses joystick, I'd reckommend trying another game with your stick to see if the lockups repeat. If they do then its probably the saitek software..

Soviet: You can move things to different irq's by plugging them to another PCI slot - if you have ACPI disabled. If its enabled, acpi will remap your irq's and pretty much mess everything up. SB live is known for its picky nature on irq's. It doesn't like to share..

SB live is also known to cause big problems with motherboards that have the amd760 + via686B combination chipset.. I had one of those (KG7) and after fighting with it for a month I returned it and changed it to this KT266A board.. I've been very happy with this board and it's rock stable with the exception of via service pack 4.36 which messed my W2k up. 4.37a works great though.

well i just upped the vcore voltage and i'm getting A LOT less crashing and lock ups.  My friend said his falcon 4 kept locking up (this was a while ago he just built a new system and all he played was falcon 4) he then upped the vcore voltage after a suggestion and it went away.  Guess the equipment is power hungry or something

Go into the bios and disable the serial, paraelle ports, comm ports. If your GF3 card is apg change the sequence form pci/agp to agp/pci.

Waht kind of MB do you have?

May try installing the via 4-1 drivers???

Soviet you shouldn't have to raise any voltage unless you're overclocking your computer. If it doesn't run at default voltage there's a good chance it will die on you any day in the future.

I'd return it.

CPU.

Even the geforce shouldn't require any additional voltage..
I've heard this issue also before with certain motherboards.. If you recently bought this mobo I suggest you switch it to a kt266a board which will run stable. Once unstable -> always a pain in the ass. This is what I've learned from experience :)

Its real hard to tell since you had the fry. Some of the other hardware could have been affected to the point it iwll work but now give you problems. Have you tried wiping your os?I know this is annoying but its the last thing to do before looking at the returning the hardware.

I had a problem with lockups with ny nvidia mx200 64 meg vid card. Resolved it by lowering the AGP aperature in my bios. Just my 2 cents.
