Oh yeah what motherboard do you have? I would go to http://www.amdforums.com and search in there for your specific mobo and see if anyone else is encountering your problems

bios settings
AGP apature - 128mb
AGP capability - mode 8X
AGP preformance control - enabled
AGP fast writes - enabled
video memory - set to UC ( i have 2 modes 1 is UC ((i asume it means Un cashed)) or USWC)

did i miss anything?

what else could it be?

Pfunk · « **Reply #19 on:** May 21, 2003, 11:57:05 PM »

AGP aperature size should be half of your total system memory, so in your case AGP should be 256, pretty sure turning off fast writes helps stability as well.

Skuzzy · « **Reply #20 on:** May 22, 2003, 06:56:43 AM »

Definately disable fast writes.

boxboy28 · « **Reply #21 on:** May 22, 2003, 08:32:48 AM »

Well i had to do a system restore after that missing DLL sh@t
but i went into bios and disabled fast write and turn the AGP apature up to 256 , i read some where that if your set to 128 apature anything else isnt going to effect it.

I havent had a chance to try it out! i was getting ready for work and say your posts so i went and did it, but ill check on mu lunch break!

read this thread. This is how I remove/install drivers.

http://www.driverheaven.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8053

you will need to create a login for their forum, its worth it.

Error "missing fahpp.dll"

That file is part of the rage3d tweak program. Shouldn't cause your system to crash unless you deleted the wrong reg entry or file within the windows directory. Did you install the most current version of rage3d tweak? I probably reformat evey 6 months and never had a problem with that guide.

boxboy28 · « **Reply #23 on:** May 22, 2003, 01:42:00 PM »

i believe there was only 2 REG entries in each place you said to look and i deleted all 4 then reistalled.
By the way Sun where in Win XP PRO do you delete the INF files?
its not at
C:\WINDOWS.inf

box
I just read in the other fourm how to get it to show for get it!

Sounds like a power or heat problem, no?

boxboy28 · « **Reply #27 on:** May 22, 2003, 09:38:24 PM »

sling ty for the thoughts but sorry that for sure isnt it!

SunKing · « **Reply #28 on:** May 22, 2003, 10:32:58 PM »

Box are you running the 3.4 cat drivers when the lockup appears?
Maybe try the 3.2 cats and see if it happens again.

boxboy28 · « **Reply #29 on:** May 23, 2003, 07:32:32 AM »

Sunking 3.4 every thing freashly installed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1:confused:

after i F-ed with it all night i quit. Ill be getting off work 3 hrs early to day so im go home and try the 3.2 driver set.

other wise i tried all the other tricks i saw listing the the tech support fourm here like turning down the sound ecceleraltion and renaming video7 file.

but f-it if i have to do another complete reinstall i got it pretty much down to a science now!
