[RESOLVED] MSI K7T Pro Crash when play 3D games

[footy]

My configuration:
MSI K7T Pro with AMD 650
MSI Geforce2 MX graphic card
Hyundai PC-133 256 Ram
Maxtor 15G and IBM 15G HD (Maxtor with Window98SE, IBM with Window2000)
Sony CDU 571 CD Rom and Mat****u CDRW-7585
Logitech Coreless Mouse
Macronix MX98715 Fast Ethernet Adapter
HCF PCI CXT1035 Internal Modem
All with the latest drivers

Problems:
1. It always hang when I play some 3D games (both using Window 98SE and Window 2K), e.g. The Typing of the Dead. For other application, it is normal.
2. There is 1 active partition on each HD, is it ok? (i.e. totally 2 active partitions on 2 HD)
3. When I leave my computer alone, the screen messes up after 10 mins and then hangs. What happens?
4. It sometimes restarts automatically.
5. Run CPU Stability Test by Jouni Vuorio, it crashes.

It seems there is something wrong with the graphic cards but I am not sure what happens. All 3D games works on my old Pentium system.

Thank you.

There are alot of video card incompatabilities with the VIA chipset that that motherboard uses , but , there are a couple of things to try here.

first make sure you have the latest VIA 4 in 1 driver , and when you install it , there is an option to set the agp mode to normal , or turbo. Set yours to normal.Not being an amd man i cant tell you what turbo runs at.

second make sure your GF2 MX is getting an IRQ assigned to it , and that the irq isnt shared with a NIC. dunno why , my GF2 will share with any card in my system EXCEPT for the 2 NIC's.

Good luck dude...

Can that...mine shares with a NIC and I don't have any trouble. It depends on the OS as to what's going on...if it's Win2K then it's the OS...sometimes it kills the AGP drivers. If it's 98.....well...that's another story.

Have a Creative GTS2 graphics card (PIII600 on Abit BE6-II) and that will not share its IRQ (11) with anything, especially the network card, then windows will not boot at all. (Windows 98SE).

Have you tried installing the latest detonator (3) reference driver set direct from Nvidia?
