What the hell is wrong w/ my Kt7 setup?

[abracadabra1]

i can not play any games!
everytime i load any game, in win2k or winme, be it counterstrike or q3a, the game crashes!
there has to be a problem w/ the agp-cpu bridge or something.
any ideas fellas?

When did this start happening?

Have you tried running at default memory, CPU, graphics speeds?

Try with the memory bus at 100MHz? (I know my KT7 loves corrupting the registry if I go over +3 to FSB, yet my processor runs fine at a gig+)

Try reinstalling video drivers?

Try reinstalling DirectX?

Try with just the basic hardware (video, memory, CPU, HD)?

well i never had the computer around the house (to play games) until this past saturday. i noticed the problem then. i have formatted twice since and have had no luck

 

[abracadabra1]

set the cpu to default- 10X100
and restarted and ran into the same crashing problems in quake.
all drivers are brand new.

Try setting it to 600 and see.

What type of crash are you getting? Blue screen? Illegal operation? Just closes? OpenGL errors?

wierd....
seems like only ra3 is crashing. i am able to play q3a, just not the mod i want to

This could be due to the fact that Q3 has upgraded to 1.27g and you also have to update RA3 with the latest update that is compatible with the 1.27g q3a update. Almost all mods have to be updated in order to work on the latest Q3A version.
