Okay if I seem a bit mad in this post, sorry but I am having a lan party and my computer just died on me in the middle of it!
I reformatted and installed the AMD drivers, Via 4in1's, leaving the VxD AGP driver out cause that's what the AMD miniport AGP drivers are for.
So then I go benchmark my system and run games, all seems well except for I got a very strange error..3DMarks2001 would not install, in the middle it would give me some errors.
But it played all games fine, I played games for hours on in. Then now all of the sudden the game which I've been playing for hours just quits me to the desktop, I go play again, in 5mins it does it again. Okay...I'm thinking.
Then after reboot,Explorer gives me an error upon entering Windows 98se. I reboot once more only to see the same thing, I try again this time after being in Windows fr a few mins it gives me a black screen and the system in a few secs turns itself off!
I go back into Windows once more in Safe Mode, btw this is the last time I make it into Windows. After that, Windows gave me the o so hateful Hemim or whatever it's called error and that was the end of that.
I go to install Windows again. Well looks like my mobo will not let me install the O/S, gives errors and reboots while I'm trying to install it! AGH!!! I know it's not the hdd, cause just got it the other day and I've treid 2 different ones.
So does this sound like a bad mobo? Cause I had this same problem when I was first installing it, before any Via 4in1's, etc. Since the first boot, about a month ago this mobo has given nothing but sh!t each and every god damn day!
WTF should I do? Send it to back to FIC? Any other options?
