Hey folk try this is your computer lock or crash with tnt2 driver: 1)update your bios!beta if necessary 2)synchronize your bios for your specific graphic card (ex:viper 770 pci latency 128,boot with pnp/os enable,agp bus turbo disables) 3)synchronize your bios for windows 2000 specificity 4)my specificaton(k7m)system bios cacheable enable,cooo32k shadow to 16k shadow enable, graphic apertume 512,acpi aware yes before these setup i experience crash occasionaly now nothing niet

the best driver for me was the tnt2 3.81 or 5.13 but still crash during game play particularly unreal tournamnet in high res after 5-10 minutes and other games too. i try different setup and found one who gives me satisfaction means no crash with the driver 5.13 first i upgrade my bios(k7m board/athlon500/196 ram)to the latest beta bios,and optimize the bios for my viper v770(see your specific bios setting in your homepage manufacturer) non ultra ex :pci latency timer 128,memory apertume 512,video shadow 32k and 16 k enable. and i installed the 5.13 driver(both in win2k and win98se(utilize the 5.13 for win98se) dual boot)choose tnt2 ultra for my card(mine is a non ultra but choosing this setup was better for me)installe powerstrip for win2k(enable memory recovery and agp2X) and that it no more problems
