Gambler FEX online 0 Posted August 29, 2001 Most of the times I exit quake 3, the systems hardlocks, without even a bsod so I cant see whats causing it. It started in RC1 and is still there in RTM (2600 pro eval). I have a geforce 2 gladiac and have tested most of the latest drivers, including 14.70. Anyone else had this problem? Where can I report it to nvidia? Share this post Link to post

tweaked 0 Posted August 29, 2001 i had the exact same problem until i put my agp to 2x instead of 4x! try it. it even runs gfaster now! wtf? btw i am using the 14.10 whql drivers. Share this post Link to post
Gambler FEX online 0 Posted August 29, 2001 My AGP is at 2x I will try 14.10! update: still freezes. Share this post Link to post
tweaked 0 Posted August 30, 2001 i just did a fresh install of winxp 2600. with agp2x it is back to crashing after i leave an opengl game or app again. BUT, when i enabled via agp4x in windows using nvmax, then disabled agp 4x again it now works. strange, i have to enable via agp4x then disable via agp4x. then it works just peachy. hope this helps... also, don't overclock your vid card much; it seems to lock up much more when overclocked at all ambitiously. right now my geforce 3 is at 210/520 and that seems happy.

Gambler FEX online 0 Posted September 11, 2001 I tried det4 but same result. BTW half life also freezes the system when exiting. Share this post Link to post
1429 0 Posted September 13, 2001 those freezes disapear most likely on AMD-systems if you install the latest (Xp-compatible) release of VIA 4in1 (4.33).. Share this post Link to post
ervgesrvg 0 Posted September 13, 2001 i just installed the 12.41 or whaever drivers from Nvidia.com and now it does NOT freeze any more and it works nicly Share this post Link to post
Gambler FEX online 0 Posted September 13, 2001 12.41 did not work for me, still freeze on exit. Share this post Link to post
tweaked 0 Posted September 13, 2001 i reinstalled windows 2000. now everything works perfect again. agp 4x even works now... i kinda like XP too... oh well. Share this post Link to post
fatattack 0 Posted September 13, 2001 the prob has to do with your bios settings (especially the AGP 2X thing) If it is not yet at 2X set it to 2X If it already is set it to 4X , reinstall the driver and then flip it back to 2X This worked for me Share this post Link to post
tweaked 0 Posted September 13, 2001 i already did that... it helped a little... made it so it only crashed 60% of the time... just going back to 2k worked better. xp and geforce 3 are both too new. Share this post Link to post
Gambler FEX online 0 Posted September 13, 2001 tweaked is right, XP is too new. My AGP setting has always been 2x, as my motherboard cant go higher. The problem lies with the graphic cards driver so please contact nvidia info@nvidia.com and report bug. Share this post Link to post
Elin 0 Posted September 17, 2001 No freezes at all and works like a charm with WinXP Pro verison with my Humble Diamond TNT2 Ultra..(use Det 6.5 driver) Share this post Link to post
Alucard_X 0 Posted September 19, 2001 i've had this problem in XP for as long as i can remember.. i'd say it only happens about 5% of the time for me though, (i play q3 multiple times a day however). not sure what to tell you, i wish i knew a fix to.. never happened in w2k but has been happening in xp since way back before beta2. i really doubt its the drivers since it doesn't happen under w2k.. and i'm stuck on agp 2x as well so thats not it. driver: 21.80 (does it on any version) geforce 2 32mb winxp pro 2600 abit bx6_rev2 latest bios celeron II Share this post Link to post
