G400 and system crashes

[majingohan]

i have a g400 32mb single head and i am too having trouble with bus mastering. when busmastering is enabled, windows exploerer will crash every twenty minutes or so and will not shut down properly (it will start the shutdown sequence and then freeze at a black screen) when busmastering is disabled, there is no problem. i have no problems when the drivers are uninstalled or when i use my mystique. i have all the lastest drivers for all my peripherals and also the latest bios versions. even matrox technical support has not been able to figure out the problem.

my system:
amd k62-300
jbond m/b (via chipset)
seagate medalist hd
quantum bigfoot hd
sblive! value
matrox millenium g400 32mb single head

Hi,

Did you download the latest 4 in 1 file from Via's website? http://www.via.com.tw
As you have noticed your mobo is having some issues with bus mastering.

yup, i got the 4 in 1 driver set. nothing has worked, my last hope is for the 5.20 drivers. im tired of the oh-so-crappy mystique.

Hi,

If you're using 98 SE, try the patch on Microsoft's web site. http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/d...SE/Default.asp

I am experiencing the same problem with G400 32mb dualhead on my K6-3. My windows just couldnt shut down properly exactly like how majingohan described. Updated with the 4 in 1 VIA drivers but doesnt help a bit. And everything works alright when I install another video card.
Any advice, please?
Regards.
