I've pretty much given up on this problem but in a last ditch effort I thought I'd come here to get help from you guys since I know this is a great forum.
Anyway I have an asus p4p800se with a 2.8p4 and radeon9800pro.
This is the weird issue:
I had 2x256 of ram and was running great at 230fsb 1:1 (3.2ghz)
I upgraded to 2x512 ram and the new ram I got wasnt very overclockable so all I could get was around 215fsb. Anyway, in Far Cry I noticed occasional texture corruption at this speed but it was barely noticeable. It looked likethreads of textures poking out at random. I didnt think much of it but then I upgraded to some Kingston Hyper X. This stuff was great and I was able to hit 3.4ghz at 240fsb stable. However, when I loaded Far Cry or Quake3 I got the same texture issues except they were MUCH worse. Horrible corruption. I went back to default and everything was fine. I have come to the conclusion that somehow adding going from 2x256 to 2x512 causes the agp/pci lock to crap out. No matter what I set it to the agp bus is getting overclocked when I overclock the bus
In the bios I had the AI overclocker set to Manual
Memory speed 400
agp/pci 66/33
bus speed 240
Any ideas? I have emailed asus but no response yet.
I'm going to take the HyperX back if I cant fix the issue since there is no point in keeping it if I cant go above 210fsb (what I'm at now)
