    Cannot Locate CD-ROM ???

    Use clony to detect what kind of protection the CD has and then use the settings it tells you to read the disc using clonecd. Then burn NOTE: 1:1 copies are made only when the disc is read properly and written properly. Depending on what protection it has your burner may not be able to make 1:1 copies. goto www.cdr-info.com and see if your burner can burn 1:1

    PCI latency?

    Do you think PCI latency would affect anything? SiSoft Sandra reports it as too high for 2 components and it says my ATI All-in-wonder Radeon is "an early version of hardware may contain bugs" the 2 components are a network card and the onboard HPT366 controller It is a BP6 (440BX chipset) DualCelery 366@523 (96Mhz BUS) 128MB PC125 128mb PC133 2 network cards Sb LIve! X-gamer Pioneer 10X DVD Ricoh 8x8x32x ATI All-in-wonder Radeon 32mb DDR The latency of the network card is 128 and the Latency of the HPT366 is 248 They share an IRQ. The Radeon has a PCI latency of 255... <---- Very odd And the PCI to AGP bridge has a PCI latency of 64 All other components are at 32 Could this be causing the random freezing in OpenGL and D3d i'm getting? I used to have the "snap, crackle, pop" with my SB Live! but now with updated drivers (3300a) It doesn't do it anymore...

    Fix for SP2 Problem

    VIA chipsets are crap What do you expect??

    PCI latency?

    Do you think the Latency of the Network card and the Highpoint controller could be causing lockups?

    Sblive problems *yawn* searching didn't help.

    Set the acceleration thing 2 settings back instead of one...... that should work but you lose everything related to EAX and Hardware accelerated sound....

    Soundblaster Driver Update

    Doesn't it say you HAVE to have the ORIGINAL win2k SBLive! drivers?? Can someone try them and see what they do??? The Original SBLive! drivers are pure crap. They don't support anything other than 2 speakers and basic sound. No EAX or anything.

    bsod running at stock speed?

    If I try to clock my CPUs all the way down to regular speed 366/66... then it will give me a blue screen of death and something about the hpt366.sys drivers... I use the newest ones 1.25v I think but I heard somewhere you should use 1.23?? maybe I dunnon wut the hell is going on. do you?

    bsod running at stock speed?

    I only have 1 harddrive on the ATA/66 onboard controller on it... I might try to use an older HPT366 driver... I heard somewhere that the newest ones didn't work

    Games freeze after 1-2 hours of play?

    My counterstrike works flawlessly too.. BUT D3D **** doesn't work properly!! It took me a long time to get 3dmark2000 not to lock up and I get like 2226 3dmarks! What the hell?
  13. SnowHawk

    Games freeze after 1-2 hours of play?

    Oh ya .. one more thing... The only way I could get 3dmark to run was to set all the programs in win2k to run on my 2nd processor and put 3dmark on my first processor and it didn't crash.. hmm..

    Games freeze after 1-2 hours of play?

    A large Fan would work?? I'll try under clocking it tommrow IT would suck if that is the issue because I dunt wanna run windows 2000 on a dual 366.

    Games freeze after 1-2 hours of play?

    I think I am using the RU BIOS but I updated it a long time ago... I know about the problems and stuff about the BP6 but my BIOS is fine and I have the lastest HPT366 drivers. Right now it crashed when I was watching TV on it and when I clicked on something the entire screen went black... OpenGL appears to work flawlessly but D3D is still the culprit.. IS there any chance it could be a screwed up driver install.. Every thing works fine except it locksup in D3D games after playing 1 - 2 hours and maybe the TV..

    Asus K7V and AGP4x

    ITs the games fault not yours.. It froze on my Voodoo3 too... A new patch came out a little while ago. Got get it.

    Which GeForce2 GTS is the best?

    THe Ultra cards cannot drop in price because they are very limited plus the DDR memmory running at that high speed is too expensive. The NV20 if it uses the same memory would cost a lot more. I wonder how nVIDIA is gonna solve the memory bandwidth issue.

    I have to boot twice everytime I start my pc!

    Maybe your power supply needs to heat up before getting enough power for you CPU?

    Games freeze after 1-2 hours of play?

    Yes I did install DX8 and I have the 3073 drivers... I'm not sure if they are clean installed because I just kept overwriting drivers from different versions and stuff... There is 0 IRQ conflicts in my windows2000. I set the BIOS to have PNP OS installed to YES. Then windows 2000 is very good at IRQs. I have more than 15 IRQs. I think the BIOS supports only 15 but if you use Win2k it has more. I think my ATI AIW RADEON is on IRQ 18. I never had an IRQ problem with this computer. I'm not too sure about the overclocking. I can play OPENGL games fine. I played Counter-strike for like a long time and it hasn't froze except for once but I don't know why. Most of the freezing occurs Only when using D3D specifically when using special features of D3D (ie. Bump mapping, High detail.) I ran 3dmark in 640x480 16bit and I got a score of 2478. I could only get it to run once without crashing. I had to set all the programs in windows to only use my 2nd processor and I set 3dmark to use the 1st processor and it didn't crash.... interesting eh? well It has maybe something to do with my 2x celeron setup I think. or win2k

    Games freeze after 1-2 hours of play?

    But the AGP/PCI/BUS speeds are all running at slower than regular speed... Except for the CPUs...

    Games freeze after 1-2 hours of play?

    I don't think it is a heat problem because my ATI cards are extremely cool... I played Counter strike for like 2 hours then touched the heatsink on the card and its not even hot.. Its like room temperature..
  22. DOES IT?? I need to know immediately.. Does the radeon work with a Asus P5A ???

    Does a Radeon Work with ALi Socket 7 chipset?

    Umm does that mean it will work or not?? Has anyone had random crashing trouble with ATI cards?? All I know is nVIDIA and AMD don't mix.... THE CARD IS FREE IT is an ATI All-in-wonder RADEON 64mb DDR.. I told my friend to get like a crappier radeon with PCI but now he has to change his MOBO to Asus P5A.. He don't got that much cash!!. All I need to know is ...will it WORK??
  24. I installed the 1.02 drivers and the sound started chopping in games and on movies that I have downloaded.. WTF and the 3dfxgamers site is so slow I'm going back to beta drivers ASAP.. The video chops After and before I installed DX8 Stupid 3dfx is screwing their voodoo3 drivers up
  25. Creative screwed up their stupid drivers. YOU HAVE TO SET BASIC Acceleration for the Audio to completely work but if you try to use some EAX your speakers will crackle.. ALl the video problems were fixed by that.. WTF!!! Anyways My computer crashes after about an hour of gameplay of either Homeworld, homeworld cataclyst and RED ALERT 2... IF I use voodoo 4/5 drivers they will make it crash in 2 mins!!
