3DMark2001 and AK31 v3???

[MrCairo]

Hello All!

Some of you might know that I've had quite a time getting my system to run and not freeze durring 3D
gaming, namely....Diablo2. Well I did everything from bios tweeks and voltage changes as well as a new
400 watt p/s and what finally fixed it.......are you ready? I had to disable my on board sound and put a
sound card in. Pretty crazy if you ask me but anyway...So now I'm really happy with the system's
performance and speed. So I decide to run 3DMark2001 and compare my scores. It gets to the 2nd
test(the dragon) and faults out and gives me a message about "data & textures" being currupted.
I can go in and unselect test 2 and I'll run all the rest fine. I even removed the program and reinstalled...no
change.
Has anyone else out there had a problem like this. I'm running the latest Nvidia drivers and the latest
DirectX8a. Now one thing that I was wondering...I DID NOT load the Via 4in1 drivers...was running good
without and thought why mess with it? Could this have an effect of 3DMark?

Anyone with any ideas or thoughts let me know! I'd really like to see how this system compares to my
Asus A7V system!

Thanks,

MrCairo

Ok...I have now loaded the Via 4035 drivers and nothing changed, I still can't run test 2!

Any ideas?
