AMD 1800+
512MB DDR PC2100
Giga-Byte 7GA-7VRXP motherboard
Visiontek Geforce 3 Ti 200 with Detnoator 40.72 drivers
Windows XP Pro

The problem that i'm having is that the card keeps locking up the machine when trying to run any game or 3Dmark. I have tried 3 different OS's and it does the same thing. I have all of the new chipset drivers installed and have tried even a Ti 4200 in the machine and it still does the same thing. The crazy thing is, is that before my HD went bad it was running great. Since i have put the new HD in i can't get it going. Please someone help. Could it be a Bios wrong setting?:disgust:

Is the agp slot sharing an irq with anything else? When my GF3 shares an irq with my sound card, I get lockups.

;) I'd have a good check of your PSU, pehaps you need a better brand / rating. Since you've tried a few OS that rules out residual old drivers/settings. I'd try reseating your cards and RAM, stick things in another PC if you can. Other than that it could be Infinite Loop Bug but if it worked before it is unlikely. Either reverting back to AGP1x or using NVmax could help that.
