It will not do anything in 3d, period....hard locks during install of 3dmark2k1, when i ran a games gfx setup progy, hard lock, when you run dxdiag, it locks up.

Listing of what the heck went on...

1. Bought the ti200 for a temp until dell ships my 8500
2. Took out Radeon, through in the ti200
3. Uninstalled the radeon drivers, installed the detxp 21.83 drivers.
4. ran dxdiag, pc locked, bluescreened, then greeted me with a POST
5. ran a few other games, pc locked, and restated after bluescreening
6. tried 21.81, still dies
7. tried 21.88, still dies
8. tried 22.80(beta) still dies
6. Firgured it was the OS and the old radeon drivers, so i nix'd that install and reinstalled.
7. reinstalled fresh, installed the 21.81s, and surprise, surprise, the same stuff all over again. BTW, dxdiag is giving me the "driect Draw failed to run error" and prompts me if i want to run it again, if i run/test drect draw, it locks, then restarts.

So to recap, i've got a gf3 ti200 that runs 2d windows real nice, but can't run a 3d app worth a hill o' beans. So Ideas?

EDIT: the exact message dxdiag gives me is this...
"DxDiag has dectected that there may be a problem accessing direct draw that last time this program was used. Would you like to bypass Direct Draw this time?"

EDIT3: It was the overclock tuned the chip back down to 700 and all ran smothly...So here is my question, if you have a PNY, how high of an agp bus can this thing take?
