9600 cards and Windows Delayed errors??? ??? ????????

[Vette73]

I ahve put 2 different 9600pro cards in my Abit NF7-S system. Both times I get this error to pop up....

Windows Delayed Write Failed
Windows was unable to save data for File C:\$Mft


I tried the 3.7, 3.8, and current Omega drivers and still the same. I upped the voltage to 1.6, and even set the card at AGP 4X, still same error. But when I put in my old 8500 or even a TNT2 Vanta my system works great.

Anybody know what I can do??????

Hmm no idea................did you turn off fast writes in the bios?

Just tried it and got the same error, AARRGGG!!!!

I know I can't be the first to have this problem.

You uninstalled the previous cad before installing these?

 

[Vette73]

well the last card was a retail 8500, but even then I uninstalled all the card and drivers before I put in the Omega ones. Then I put in a Vanta card and it also works.

Kinda lost to what it couls be?

Not sure, I am running XP Pro, how can I check for that???

control panel, system, advanced, performance settings, advanced, memory usage set to programs.ATI support page

Fixed the problem for me I was getting that occasionaly with a 9500Pro. Haven't ever since I did that. I even formated the hard drive thinking it would fix it. But it
didn't for me until large system cache was disabled.

Run a driver cleaner then reinstall the video card drivers.

Did that and put on the new 3.9 Omega drivers and still the same thing. I even unplugged my DVD-Rom and CD-RW to free up some power, but still same thing. ???

Maybe the hard drive actually is going bad and it isn't vid card related. Ran any diagnostics on the hard drive?
