1st off here are my specs.
1gb Pc133 Memory
Tyan K7A (I think that it or something close)
AMD 1.4 Tbird
Volcano 5 or 6 HSF (Cant remember)
15 and 80 gig hdd's
SB live value
Radeon 64MB SDR (Now called 7000?)
350w PSU from an Antec 830.
Anyway when I set this up and tried to install Win98 or ME it installs okay until I install the creative sb drivers (it won't autodetect, its a pci). Sound works okay. Then installing the Radeon drivers and rebooting it says SB midi won't work and is being disabled and locks up.
So basically I install XP to get past those problems. Now using the latest Radeon drivers the textures look bad on Baldur's Gate II and the game lock up after about 5 - 10 minutes, either by the screen going blank or the screen will stay on but the graphics are frozen but the sounds and battle are still going on. I have tried removing the drivers and using XP drivers and the graphics are SOOOOO much better, but the game CRAWLS...even at 640.
Now I never had this problem on my Intel P3 750. So is it Tyan, AMD,ATI, Creative or a combo thereof.
Any help will be appreciated. Anyway I just ordered a P4 1.8 so I hope to still be able to do something with the AMD.
Also whats and average temp for the AMD 1.4? mine starts at 47 and climbs to 55+.
