ok , the problem is the following :
when playing 3d games they usually lock up*
*what does usually mean ?
It means that sometimes the games freeze after a few minutes , sometimes after few seconds, sometimes (but it's unusual)all work
fine.
wich games ?
-dungeon keeper 2(sometimes crashes , but
not often)
-revolt (almost always crashes)
-hidden and dungerous (sometimes crashes)
-the need for speed hi stakes (sometimes crashes)
-kingpin (usually crashes)
there are also games like shadowman and drakan that work fine (only one crash in drakan and j am near to ending the game)
j have an athlon 600 with msi mobo , not one ,but two power supplies (both on the list of amd's approved ones one is 300w , the other 250..........well , j have a lot of hard drives ), g400 32mb ,
j use agp 2x (using 1x is the same, and sometimes it gives me additional problems)
also the ram seems to be ok.
the irq are ok , the g400 uses 09 , sharing it only with holding for pci steering.
others are ok and not shared.
j also have installed all games patches , latest hardware drivers and bios,and j have read about one thoused of thime matrox f.a.q.
any genius out there can help me ?
thank you very much
