Geforce 3 problems, maybe?

[Technics1200]

Last night I bought a whole new setup. This is what it consists of:

AMD Athlon T-Bird 1 GHZ 266 FSB
Abit KG7-Raid
256 2100 or whatever number DDR Ram
Visiontek Geforce 3
SB Live X-Gamer
IBM 60GXP HDD

Well sometimes I can see these little like artifacts or something of the like. And I just got threw a game of UT and when I throw a bomb with my missle launcher I can see this green like dots that floats up after I throw a bomb. I don't know whether that is correct or not, please correct me if I am wrong. But also when I go to my start menu and I look through it on the screen after the start menu's gone away it'll have like three artifacts on the screen. I'll try and take a screen shot, maybe it will come out. But the artifacts are just lines and when I click on the return to desktop icon in the quicktray those lines go away.

What could be wrong??

I'm also running WinXP RC1. Thanks for your help!

[*]Are you o/c'ing?
[*]Have you tried different 4-in-1's?
[*]Have you tried the 21.81 detonators?

No, no and no.

I'll try those steps.

Can you link me to the those Det's?

Actually, the Abit KG7 uses the AMD 761 chipset, so you shouldn't be installing the VIA 4-in-1 drivers. I believe there's an AGP patch for the AMD chipset, but I can't remember what it's called. Someone else should be able to point you in the right direction. As for the Detonator 21.81s, look here

The KG7 is a hybrid AMD761/VIA 686B

With that in mind you install the AMD agp miniport but I am not sure about one for XP since it might have a native one, or the one for win 2K might work in XP. Also, you install the 4-in-1's and uncheck the agp driver during setup.

Thanks guys, really appreciate it. I just installed the Det's, I'll go test it out.
