First
Sony VIAO 1.7 w/512mb DDR
80g HD
OS Win XP Home
Hercules 4500 64mb SDR Video, PowerVR Kyro
Driver 1.5.15.84 5/2/2002
HP 17" Monitor, 75mhz refresh rate
Desktop setting is 1024x 758
Now the question
I am running AH at 1024 x 768, getting about 70 FPS, everything works fine. But.....
I want to run at AH 1280 x 1024 so it will look better,
I change the AH video settings to 1280x1024 and it looks great but frame rates drop to 30 or less and few minutes later AH locks up and I have to power off my system.
Then system will not reboot, locks up when XP starts to load. It does this several times until finally I can get in. Reset the AH video back to 1024 x 768 and everything is fine.
I tried updating the video drivers in August but then system kept locking up regardless of video settings so I rolled the driver back to the previous driver and left it alone.
I play RTCW and MOH at 1280 x 1024 no problem.
Either its the driver, the card is physically hosed, or maybe a compatibility issue with XP.
Does anybody have any suggests? If its a driver change what do you recommend.
thanks
