PLEASE HELP!! Hercules Kyro I 4000XT drivers (9.031) causing lockups in WinXP

[KennyH]

Hey guys, I am having a hell of a time trying to figure out what is going on with my Kyro 4000 XT. I have tried installing and uninstalling the XP drivers from the hercules site. I can get the drivers installed and about 10-15 minutes later, just web browsing, the system locks up (mouse stops) and the computer reboots itself. The error report that comes up after the computer reboots says that the Kyro Drivers are causing the instability. The system was 100% stable before I installed the Kyro. Here are the specs:

Asus CUSL2-C
Intel Celeron 2 850ES @1200 (tried at 850 too) via 1.75V
Netgear FA310TX
SB Live! Value
Generic 56K modem PCI

Please help me out here guys, anyone know where I can get older drivers to try?

I have hercules 4500 and xp drivers and no problem here...

please don't start blaming kyro drivers...
before those drivers that you mentioned there are only beta drivers for XP

lI am 50% sure that what you have is an heat problem...

might be a broken memory, cpu or kyro itself...

but it might be your agp speed (45% probability)
what is your agp speed?
kyro doesn't like non standard AGP speeds...
when you overclock your celeron do you overclock your agp speed (try lowering that) and see if that helps...

Uh, I did that. It is definately not a heat issue buddy. I am using a Antec SX830 case with seven fasn in it and believe me, it is cool. The drivers are NOT beta, and they came right from the Hercules site. Please get your information straight, or don't post at all. :disgust: Their is definately something worng with these drivers and WinXP. I have reverted back to the 9.015 for Win2k and all is fine now. Anyone else have this problem with these drivers? The AGP bus is in spec because it utilizes a 1/4 PCI divider. I have checked all components and like I said before this is the only thing I have changed. By the way, where did you get those so-called "non-beta" XP drivers?

maybe it's my english...

what I said was that before those drivers that you mentioned (those with the problem), there were only beta drivers for XP
try to find out were they can be....

www.paraknowya.com
go to the forums in there
try google or something

if they have a bug, this bug doesn't appears on my system, so I bet it's something else.

of course you could try something else

try generic kyro drivers ... find those...in powervr related sites

I will not bother you again...you have a problem try to correct it...I was only trying to help, if my help is not welcome to bad...

Powervr, the drivers aren't BETA annymore on the Herc site. Leave it alone.
Bp6, try taking out your SB Live just for giggles. It's the least compatable soundcard I've ever seen with a brand name, and some without. Another thing is to try and reinstall and update drivers for, well, everything else. Sometimes computers are finicky that way and want every driver to be new. I assume you set everything right in the BIOS for it to be compatable. If it's none of those things, you might just have a bum card, or chipset incompatibility, or too much RAM. Like I said though, update everything.
