tried it....but same prob ...

i wonder if it is getting overheated since i stil have my voodoo2 and drx2 board also in my computer

[SteveC]

I see it's an LX board? which make/model? Some Asus boards, from what I remember, have trouble supplying the right voltage. Maybe someone else can help here?

Also, check for IRQ conflicts, and check the fan is spinning on the MAX. The heat given out of the MAX can be quite a lot, so the ambient temp of your system may have gone up. Check for overheating.

PS: Some or all of the above message may be wrong, or, just as likely, correct. Depends on what mood I'm in. And what you know. ;¬)

Go into your mother board bios and disable any of the following:

VGA BIOS Shadow
VGA frame buffer
full frame buffer
primary frame buffer
Cache Rd+CPU Wt Pipeline
pipeline caching, or byte merging

Also try forcing AGP 1x via the Reg Hacks.

thanks for the help...but i figured out the problem....disabled bus mastering and fixed it...dunno why it was a problem though

[Scytale]

Try to enable busmastering but force AGP1X (using the PD5 reghacks from murc).

[Morpheus]

does bus mastering make alot of difference?...cause it works fine without it

[RatSak]

Hey Morpheus,
just curious and off topic but, who did you order you MAX through in OZ????

[Scytale]

Yes it matters a lot. Without BM, G400 performance is close to a G200 with BM... so BM+AGP1X is definitely worth trying.

[Morpheus]

I got my G400 max from www.cougar.com.au in oz

[Morpheus]

Damn!!!

force agp1x and turned on bus mastering...still crashes!! sigh

what ismy default agp? 2x

[Scytale]

You better check for hardware conflicts. If you can't find any, take out all cards except for AGP, keep BM enabled and see if it will work.

Your default AGP mode will probably be AGP2X, you can check with PCIlist or Sandra.

I also have problems with busmastering.
but maybe there will be salvation.
see first link.
cant wait to get home and try it out.

thanks to all you guys!
