Did/Has anybody got problems with a TNT on a Abit BH6

[TechyJono]

I am trying to run Q3 or UT in OpenGL with a Diamond Viper V550 TNT and when I try to run Q# or UT the monitor goes into sleep mode anybody know a way around this or know what I'm doing wrong??

Bump for this guy and myself. I have the same problem using a GF2 on a BH6 running any OpenGL games. Help us out. Thanks.

I had a Viper 550 on a BH6 up until a short time ago. Over about 1.5 years I never had a single problem with that card. Q3, UT, Half-Life all worked flawlessly.

Sounds like a driver problem.....

I agree. Like Workin' I also have a BH6 and used to have a CL TNT AGP16mb. Worked flawlessly for 1.5 years. I hope my Erazor X2 will last that long!

I had a bh6 w/ a stb 4400 tnt. Worked great in q3a. Worked in ut, but kinda slow. I found using the Nvidia reference drivers worked best since STB/3dfx stop releasing driver updates for the 4400.

Since nvidia now owns 3dfx, maybe they will start releasing drivers for it again! LOL

I had a v550 tnt on my BH6 a while back and never had any problems but I seem to remember a power management bug with win98 and the BH6 bios.
I had my power management in bios disabled anyway; you can try that, as well as updating your mobo's bios.

Update. I yanked out my POS soundcard and all is well. Must have been a driver conflict. Hopes this helps out TechyJono.
