Lock Up's

[metronom]

Hi,

Finaly I upgraded my computer but have sometimes in 3D programs lock ups or bsd's. It occurs in almost all 3D programs - AH, Microsoft FlightSim2k2, C&C Generals, but not in IL-2 where I have the opportunity to choose between DirectX or OpenGL (where I use DirectX so no lock ups - don't know if this does realy help)
And sometimes in 2D mode goes the Monitor just black and after 1 sec. is the picture ok again. Only I have to go with the right mouse click refresh to "put" all words on the correct places. This problem is mostly solved with a new start of Windows.

My System:
Athlon 2600+ (the processor temp does not go over 50°C)
AsRock Motherboard K7S8X with Bios 1.90
SiS746FX Chipset
2x512 MB Infineon RAM 166MHz CL2.5
Sound on Board 5.1
GForce 5200FX with 43.03 driver
Running nVidia Refresh Rate Fix MKII 2.0
DirectX 9.0a ( my System shows me: 8.1 or higher)
Windows XP pro with SP1
Thrustmaster TopGun with FF on USB 2.0
Samsung SyncMaster 700p+

I hope someone got an Idea what causes this problems and how do solve them.

If you are running the AGP bus at 8X, try turning it down to 4X.  Disbale Fast Writes as well.

thx Skuzzy

I disabled AGP fast write and defined the AGP bus on 4x - it was on Auto.

Hope it helps:)
