Sytem Spec.
Duron 800@931 (7.0 X 133 FSB)
Epox 8KHA+
Kingmax 256MB PC2400 DDR RAM
MSI 815 GF2 GTS 32MB DDR RAM (non-O/C)
SB live (on slot 5)
400W PSU.
Running drivers Det 23.12, VIA 4in1 ver 4.37, Epox on latest bios, VGA bios 3.15.01.02.00 & DirectX 8.0.
Probs.
1. There is artifacts (snow like) during boot up...up till after Win98se logo. Desktop graphic is fine.
2. When playing 3D games like FIFA 2002, the snow appear again.
The std VIA-Nvidia probs/solution has been tried but no success. Things I hv tried: -
1. RAM timing is "normal" in bios.
2. Latest drivers. I also tried Det 23.11, 23.11, 23.88....
3. Enabled/Disabled V-sync.
3. Up monitor refresh rate to 85 Mhz.
4. No IRQ conflict.
5. Set the AGP Aperture to 64MB...worst. Back to 128MB.
6. Under VIA 4in1, the AGP is "Turbo" or "Normal" (tried both).
7. All cache...the bios, VGA bios & VGA RAM disabled.
8. AGP boot up in bios.
I do a swap from GF2 MX200 to GF2 GTS. Uninstall & reinstall VIA 4in1 & Det. W/ the MX200...graphic is no probs.
Currently, machine run fast & stable...just this little probs is bugging me. I expected a bit more from GTS than MX200.
Here is the interesting part. At 100 FSB, the graphics is perfect...but at 133 FSB, the artifacts reapprear !.
Any idea ? TQ.
