Lockups with P3V4X, CLA2 and Direct3D games...

[erector16]

Hi all. Just installed Windows ME to try to fix a little problem I was having in SE. All Direct3D games seem to lock up. I've now tried UT, Rogue Spear and WWII Fighters and they don't run for more than 10 seconds. It seems that they lock up in the exact same place each time too. The weirdest thing is that OpenGL games work flawlessly! Quake 3 can run for hours with no problems! I've heard that this could be a voltage problem, but I wanted to see if anyone else has had this sort of problem. I don't think it's a DirectX problem since ME has the latest version, so I think it's mobo related. Could I maybe fix this by switching the I/O voltage jumper to the higher setting?? Any help is greatly appreciated since this thing is driving me whacky!!

Here's my system:
P3V4X
P3 700@933 w/ Asus slotket
192MB RAM
CLA2 GTS vid card
SB Live! XGamer
3Com 56K Modem (ISA)
Adaptec 2930c SCSI controller

just an idea:

What version BIOS do ya have? you should be 1005 by now. They are stable.
Also you need the latest "4in1423's"
you need the AGP403.EXE as well, i forgot which is which, but one you run in TURBO mode.
