Install the latest VIA 4-in-1 drivers, and add memory if you can afford it.

Tell me something --- when i install the latest AGP drivers thru' the 4in1 of VIA ..... my graphic card stops responding........moreover in DirectX my card doesn't show any chip type or dac type!!

is this wrong?>

Can you set the agp speed lower (eg in the BIOS)? If so, do it.

Btw, are you certain that your mobo has got a VIA northbridge chip, not just a southbridge? Many mobo's have got "hybrid" chipsets: northbridge and southbridge are from a different manufacturer. My mobo has got an AMD northbridge and a VIA southbridge. I install AMD's agp miniport driver for my northbridge.

My northbridge and southbridge r of Via -- i'm certain --- i am unable to install the latest AGP drivers of VIA 4in1 cause -- everytime i do it -- my system then doesn't boot!!

Hmm, are you using 28.32 detonators? My OFP crashes always if I use them, I had to go back to 27.30 to solve the problem.

I'm using 28.32 and it works fine. When I bought the computer I'm using right now, I had a similar problem. Whenever a D3D game started, the computer froze after 2-3 seconds! I tried alot of stuff, but I believe the AMD miniport driver fixed it, not sure though.

btw, to what value is your agp aperture size and agp speed set (check your bios)?

[Dpillay 0]

AGP aperture size is 64 (even tried 128) and the AGP is st at 1x(same prob with 2x)

i tried disabling my sound card --- OPF did play for a little longer but then again it froze!!

Are you sure you videocard and soundcard are using a different (exclusive) IRQ? (check it in device manager).

Btw, are you using Windows XP? If so, are you running it in ACPI mode or "standard computer" mode?
