OK -
First of all, in all my problems, everything is clocked STOCK. As in, Tbird is at 700, geforce is at 120/300.
OK - Basically, my system config is as follows:
OS: Windows 2000
AMD Slot A Thunderbird 700 MHZ (VOS32, with artic silver)
Enermax 330 watt
Microstar K7 Pro, BIOS 1.6 (latest).
AGP miniport driver for Win2K installed
No other AMD-related drivers installed
Peripherals:
Leadtek Winfast Geforce DDR, using nvidia reference drivers, both 6.18 and 6.27; AGP is at 1x despite the fact that I have a stepping 5 motherboard which supposidly corrected the AGP Strobe conflict.
Turtle Beach Monteo - Aureal Vortex 1, 8820.
Linksys Phoneline 10M
Linksys LNE100TX (disabled)
Avermedia TV98 - not being read correctly in BIOS (being read as a SCSI device; no IRQ assigned to it, stupid f0cking BIOS).
USB Intellimouse, a General port hub, a D-LINK C-300 Webcam (not installed, windows blue-screens when the driver is installed).
Drives:
Maxtor 27 GB DiamondMax Plus hard drive
Iomega ZipCD 24x4x4
Toshiba XM-6702-B
Iomega Zip drive
Floppy drive
IRQ Assignments:
0: System timer
1: PC keyboard
2: Unassigned
3: COM1
4: COM2
5: Unassigned
6: Standard Floppy Controller
7: Unassigned
8: System CMOS/Real-time clock
9: Unassigned
10: AMD 756 PCI-to-USB Open Host Controller
Aureal Vortex 8820 Audio (WDM)
Vortex Multifunction PCI Client
11: Geforce DDR
Linksys Phoneline 10M
12: Unassigned
13: Numeric data processor
14: Primary IDE Channel
15: Secondary IDE channel
3D Progs that work:
Unreal tournament
Progs that don't work:
3D Mark 2000 (locks up halfway through at random places)
Half-Life (locks up at beginning or gets through but sound cuts out in a matter of minuts, requiring a reboot)
Homeworld: Catacysm (There are seperate known issues with Geforce-on-AMD, Vortex-on-AMD; and AMD-on-Win2K, so a combination thereof is probably bad)
What I am doing to try to fix it:
Replacing the Montego with SB live!
What I don't understand is why UT works but nothing else does. I am going to try Q3 later. Can anyone advise? Please...
