I'm running an Asus A7V KT133 motherboard with an Athlon Thunderbird 800. I have a Leadtek Winfast Geforce 2 GTS. I have 256MB of RAM. For the past 3 days I have been trying everything possible to prevent the video from locking up when I run 3d games. For example, in Tribes 2 I experience tearing and flickering and when the game finally starts I freeze after about 5 seconds. In another Direct3d game, Myth II, I get booted to desktop or freeze after 4 seconds. I am running WinME, my NIC is a 3com Etherlink XL 10/100 PCI. I am using the latest VIA 4-in-1 drivers (4.31) and I tried all different detonator drivers...6.50, 10.80, 12.41....I have all the cards on separate slots and the problems continue to persist. I scoured many different tweak websites looking for solutions and I tried everything but none of the solutions worked. Can someone please help? I desperately need it....

i had this problem with my asus a7v and it turned out to be a bios problem. so i flashed it to the second to newest one, because i heard the latest one had bugs and now my games work great, that could be your problem
