[RESOLVED] Asus Geforce 256 Crashing in system

[Auric]

Hey guys, need help

Asus Geforce 256 AGP V6600 Deluxe Video card on an Asus K7V Slot A Athlon system, keeps crashing. I have an identical system at home for myself and I have no problems..

This system has one difference, a 3com 56k modem (as i have a NIC cause im on high speed dsl) The Detonator drivers work fine, but as soon as retail drivers are installed it crashes during game play. Any Suggestions??? Im stumpted

Disable ACPI in both the BIOS and Windows. In Windows go to Device Manager (if using 98/ME) then System and double click Advanced Configuration and Power Interface BIOS and change the driver to Plug and Play Bios. If using Windows 2000 double click Computer in Device Manager and change the setting from ACPI to Standard Computer. Reboot and Windows will redetect the Hardware and reallocate the IRQ's for each device. Also worth doing is to Manually Assign IRQ 5 in the BIOS to ISA/Legacy as this can cause problems on some boards.
