Guillemot-Hercules Support

[Oli]

They took out my last message in their forum because they don't like my last message.
Because I say the truth, their board are $300 of sh*t
The Support S*ucks, the Technical support never replied, they blame others
I use the last patches, drivers but is the same.
Games don't work: Swat 3, Motocross Madness, Half-Life, Diablo II, The Sims (freeze with 5.22, fine with 3.77 #@#@#!?), Sport Car GT, NHL 2K
Now I use my old Monster 2 3D 12Mb in SLI and work fine for HOURS without any glitch, tearing, freezing,...
It's last time I buy a Guillemot_hercules Board

Well as far as there support I couldn't tell ya. But the problem your having is most likely a windows issue. Try reloading and I bet it all will be fine.

 

[Oli]

I reinstall windows 5 times, i try it in a Athlon/Asus system and a PII/Soyo system and it's the same

I seem to recall some geforce cards having compatibility issues with some Athlon motherboards. Are you using latest drivers and have you checked for BIOS updates for your motherboard? Kind of makes me appreciate my lowly Voodoo 3 3000 PCI. Have yet to find a game it won't run and run well.

Yeah, for the same I use my old 2 Monster in SLI and have NO problems,
same game: Prophet = Problems, Monster = NO problem
I have a V770 in a box, but I'll use it in my 3rd Comp.

Sell the Herc and buy an MX later this week.

Just my $0.02.:Q

PS. If you act fast, you may end up making a few bucks on the upgrade!

Yeah, seriously. I'm having problems with a Geforce256 DDR (3D Prophet DDR/DVI). I'm using the newest everything (pathes, BIOS upgrades, VIA AGP drivers...) and the thing freezes a LOT. Q3 looks horrible (tearing like crazy). I think I'm gonna go email some words to their "tech support" people.

The problems is not windows either, I'm pretty sure it's just their drivers or the card itself. X windows freezes every now and then in Linux to.

I use the Geforce in Suse6.4 (Linux) and have no problems, but I don't play games in Linux.
Don't bother sending mail to their support they never replied.
Now I post Fouling message as they delete the whole thread if they encounter a message with foul language (they can't program a Forum correctly (If they don't have good programmer I don't want to think about the people who makes the cards). LOL

Try different bios versions. I have a Tyan S1854 nad I use version 1.00 bios and have no problems. If I use the latest bios Q3 locks up/crashes! Also check for latest card bios.
