Problem with display

[jeff 0]

I just upgraded my PIII 450 abit bx6 2 to an bi PIII 450 a-trend 6280M and I got various display pb using realplayer an dmedia player

I fixed the one with RP7 by disabling video optimization but i'd like to understand. I turned back to 3.66 drivers for my tnt2 but it did not change anything. So does anybody knows what's it's all about???

 

And by the way, Photoshop has became very unstable any idea either? (I think it's related to the previous pb)

Did you re-install W2K after swapping your mobo?

 

W2K is like Win9x in this regard - during setup, drivers specific to the components comprising the mobo are installed, and that varies mobo to mobo.

 

Not doing a re-install will seriously compromise stability...

Oh yes I reinstalled everything ( at first I did not but seeing what it was looking like I did a clean install format and all..)

So I don't think it's that

OK, so you've done a clean install.

 

Now, what errors do you actually get, and in what versions of the software?

To begin with, I can't run Real Player 7 without disabling video optimization and the media player sometimes disable any signal from my video card (which It didn't on my old abit).

And photoshop can't run for 5 minutes without crashing the computer (no bluescreen or anything else, push reset or power and restart is the only way to reboot)

The RealPlayer 7 issue has been documented elsewhere, and is certainly not to do with your motherboard - my aging BX mobo and CL TNT1 exhibit the same problem.

 

Interestingly, the behviour of the above combo is the same as you have experienced with PhotoShop - no BSOD, just blank screen amd requiring a reboot.

 

I expect that this is to do with the beta nature of the TNT drivers - does this happen with the drivers that ship with the OS?

With the nvidia drivers shipped with the 2195 there is no such pb in real player (I tried it). And concerning photoshop, I have maybe an explication although a sad one. My mobo had some kinda defect with the cpu2 fan connector -> my second proc is dead ( ) (no cooling) (the guarantee ends tomorrow so i think that i'll hurry ). So now I got only one proc and the photoshop bug has disappeared. I think that my proc was overheated and with the heavy use of the system ressources, it crashed. These were two different bugs ( final answer when I get a new proc)

back on biproc and photoshop crashes again so the mix multiproc + photoshop is kinda explosive with me and yes i've tried microsoft tnt drivers and nvidia 3.66 and 3.75
