Leadtek GeForce2 GTS doesn't like the A7V133 mobo

[acardoso]

My Leadtek GeForce2 GTS doesn't work well at all in the A7V133. As matter of fact I don't know if it works well in any motherboard. It causes blue vertical lines in the Bios Program, DOS and Windows. In DOS mode, sometimes it shows a lot of symetrical dots (a dot for each vertice of a chain of squares). In Window the vertical lines are more pronounced and it also hangs quite a bite. Leadtek recomends;

to enable
- Assign IRQ for VGA
- PCI 2.1 compliant
- Bus mastering for PCI Slots

to disable
- Video Bios Shadowing
- Video Bios Cacheable
- VGA Pallet Snoop
- System Bios Cacheable
- Video RAM Bios Cacheable
- Primary/system frame buffer
- VGA frame buffer
- Peer Concurrency (if system doesn't have many peripheral cards)
- Power Management
- Write Cache Pipeline
- AGP Aperture size to size of system memory (in my case 256 Mbts), that could be reduced to 1/2 or 1/4 in case of problems.
- Make sure no other device shares an IRQ with the Video Card (in my case IRQ 11 is assigned only to the card)

Some of these settings I have set according to the recommendations but I can't find others. It seems they based these recommendations on other traditional Award bios.

Is there any site with suggestions on bios tweaks for the A7V133. I wonder if I just got a defective Video Card ?

When I replace the Leadtek GeForce2 GTS with an NVidia Vanta card, all these problems go away.
Weird ...!!!
