March 5, 200619 yr My game has been freezing recently resalting in a system restart. This is abit worse then what the tool was doing, graphicing flashing leading to C++ run time error. I get no warning, then plop screen freezes...most times locking the system then it restarts. I heard that this mobo might have a voltage issue with it's AGP.
March 6, 200619 yr Author Well found out after some resreach and finding my vid cards supplied hardware moniter app. The MoBo is sending a higher voltage to the slot then what it should. That being the case it would cause the issues I've been having. so until they fix it or I find a fix for it I've clocked my card down..which is hurting the frame rate noticabley..but at least it's keeping the crashing down. Still saving every 5ft and after every convo incase it does crash so I've made some progression. The card should read at default 1.5v, but the moniter is picking it up at 1.7v which is what the board sends to the solt, what should be picked up by the card should be 1.5v.
March 6, 200619 yr Author Well ran into another possiable cause. Low battery back-up. The new models shut down if the PC is drawing more power then the battery can take.
March 7, 200619 yr Author Fixed my crashing problems. Needed to reset a jumper on the mobo to match the processer being used.
