NT4 - mgabg.exe goes cpu grabbing
G200 Mystique/8
Abit Bx6 r2
PD 4.34
NT 4.0 W/S Service Pack 6a
After booting the system it was sat idle when I noticed that the hard drive was chuntering away to itself every couple of seconds or so. I looked at the task manager to find that MGABG.EXE was sat there using up 30% CPU and was continuously clocking CPU time. Can someone tell me what MGABG.exe does and why it might go walkabouts. The system seemed to remain stable when I stopped the process.
And whilst on the subject of strange things with the drivers I noticed that 3DS Max 2.5 is still using the Microsoft OpenGL drivers and doesn't have the option to use Maxtrox OpenGL ?? Why is this and how can I use Matrox OpenGL
The only thing stopping me buying a G400 is that I'm still having strange little things like this happen with the old G200 drivers - is the G400 more stable and are the drivers better in NT4 - and can I use the OpenGL acceleration in 3DS ?
