What OS?

My wife and I are both having this problem so I figured I'd ask. Maybe someone knows something. Also, since the information at Anandtech is what causes me to worry, maybe this is the best place for an answer. I just recently installed a Radeon 8500LE in my system and a GeForce 4 Ti4200 in my...

If you haven't already, go to intel's website and get all the latest drivers for your chipset. My wife's computer was getting about 4k with a GeForce 4 Ti$200 until I updated her agp driver, even though she has a brand new Dell. Afterwards she's hitting about 600+ higher than the average score...

Turn off the motion blur if you haven't already. That was destroying me as well when I was using a Voodoo 5 5500 since my card couldn't produce the effect on it's own, it was mauling my 1.4 AMD processor as well. I turned it off and it ran perfectly.

Well, I've hit the last straw. I swore it wasn't a power supply issue, but everyone I spoke to said....What? Your PSU is the problem, it's a piece of crap. I ran out and paid a ridiculous amount of money for an Antec 430, which is a full 80 Watts more power than the supply in my box now. Not...

I certainly don't have a good answer. I'm very annoyed with the "that's your problem" kind of answer I got from Abit. My only recourse is to go spend $60-$90 on a power supply just to see if maybe that's what's causing the issue. I am having a hard time believing that it is, but it's the only...

Well....sounds better than the support I got from Abit......"Use another video card" I gave my card to my friend, his Asus board didn't fare much better. Flashing, random color problems and artifacts on regular settings. I am starting to think that these cards are having a much wider range of...

Well, at this point I am only posting in case there is someone else out there having a similar problem, because my problem appears to be unfixable. I can't get any response from Abit, Visiontek or MSI and I'm not about to call New Jersey from my house to wait on hold and have someone then tell...

Well...for anyone who was concerned that perhaps their MSI card was the issue, that doesn't appear to be the case (at least for me). I ran over to Best Buy and picked up a Visiontek card, also a Ti 4200. It is doing the identical thing. I have to assume that this is a compatibility issue...

Last piece of information that I've noticed. Whenever I put the MSI card back in and get it to boot it's 1-3 times, the system preforms a memory check which it doesn't normally do. Usually it just shows the amount of RAM rather than testing it and counting through it. It also seems to take a few...

Also I guess I should add a couple things My system specs are: AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1.4Ghz Abit KT7A M-Board 1024 MB PC133 SDRAM 60 Gig Maxtor HD 20 Gig Mactor HD (Secondary) Sony DVD-ROM (old unit, don't remember the speed) Acer CDR/W 350 Watt V-tech PSU Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 Linksys...

Alright, my problem seems pretty odd to me, at least I haven't ever seen anything exactly like it before. I installed an MSI Ti 4200 (128 MB) into my system yesterday evening. It appeared to operate relatively normally, though it benchmarked somewhat poorly, for most of the day. I installed all...
