Win2k, KT133/VIA, GeForce 2 stability (lack thereof)

Recommended Posts

Ugh, this is frustrating. I came from an Asus P2B (440BX) with a P2 333mhz system that *never* crashed. I got a 98 crash every once in a while, but 2000 never crashed. I also used a Voodoo3 in it. I'm not used to tweaking my card as much as I have to now.

 

Sadly, I can't say the same about my current system. Config:

 

Standard PC - ACPI disabled in W2K setup

Asus A7V rev. 1.01 M/B (no jumpers) BIOS v1.03

Athlon T-bird 800mhz with heatsink (temp. stays around 91 degrees farenheit)

256MB PC133 Corsair RAM

GeForce 2 GTS 32meg (Annihilator 2)

5.22 Detonator drivers

Linksys 10/100 PCI card

30.7 IBM Deskstar HD on Ultra ATA/100 controller with Promise W2k drivers

Pioneer 16x DVD-ROM

SB Live - LiveWare 3

USB Intellimouse Explorer

MS Nat. Keyboard Pro

 

Via 4 in 1 4.23 drivers installed

AGP at 2x

 

Here is what I have tried:

Extra cooling.

Latest Det drivers - 5.32.

GeForce FAQ site tips

 

Notes:

In diablo 2, twice I've gotten CD read errors (event log) that claimed an error occured during a paging operation.

 

Crashes always lock the machine hard, requiring a restart.

 

IRQ 5 is being shared between the Ethernet card and the USB hub. Problem there? I can't change either of the device's IRQ settings.

 

PS/2 mouse keeps being detected even though I don't have one hooked up.

Also, I'm running Norton Antivirus 2000 in the background.

Hey bud, your BIOS version is really old

Upgrade your BIOS to 1007c - that should help you A LOT! I had all kinds of probs with the old BIOS. Got it all working with the new one though.
