I just built a new machine for the new year consisting of the following:
MSI KT7 Pro2-A
T-bird 1GHz (not overclocked yet)
2x Crucial 128MB CAS2
Elsa Gladiac
SB Live
Adaptec 2940UW
Quantum 15GB Fireball LM
Quantum Viking 2GB UW
Quantum Atlas 1GB (narrow)
3Com 3C905C-TXM
300W Antec Power Supply
Dual booting Win98 (not SE) and Win2k Pro
The problem I'm having only seems to occur under Win98 when running games in either D3D or OpenGL. Every few minutes or so I get a single frame flash of color. It appears that this frame is random, it does not occur at fixed intervals. The AGP aperature side appears to affect the frequency that this screen flash occurs, it's worst at 64MB aperature setting, less frequent at 128MB setting. Setting the aperature size to 256MB causes instability problems so is unusable. I have tried all 4-in-1 driver combinations from 4.25 to 4.28 with the same results. I have also tried multiple versions of NVidia's reference driver as well as the drivers available on Elsa's site. Video driver versions tried range from 5.30 to 6.49. I'm convinced it is some sort of an AGP related problem probably caused by texture swapping, but I've tried everything I can think of. It occured to me that this problem may be resolved by re-installing WinME on my machine, but I don't like the fluff that MS has decided we all need in WinME so don't want to do so unless it's my only option.
Any suggestions?
