My system:
Intel 1.6A@155, 4:3 default voltage
Asus P4B533 Default voltage
Samsung 512ddr pc2700 set at Auto
Gainward Geforce 4 4200 64mb
Sounblaster Live! Value (4th slot)
Macronix 10/100 (6th slot, bottom)
Initially when i set up my computer i boosted up the FSB and set the fsb/ram to 1:1 but I forgot to set the agp/pci to 66/33, instead I left it on auto. There were no initial problems though. Later on I changed it, still no problems. But when I started playing some 3d games like ArmyOps or Quake3 I'd get these random glitches, the screen would go multicolored and freeze and the system would restart eventually. Not only did I get this in games but once or twice when I was messing with a java news updater and another time when I was checking my email with outlook.
I'm hard pressed to figure out the problem here because I'm skeptical that it's the actual video card overheating, because it'll crash regardless that I opened up my case and propped the front fan right next to it to insure it would be kept cool.
On my last computer I got bsod errors pertaining to nv4 something yada yada and it seems to be happening again. What I'm wondering is, could it be a conflict with IRQs, could it be heating, could it be the Soundblaster Live! or the Macronix ethernet card which I carried over from my last computer that could be somehow conflicting with the video operation? I'm just not sure anymore, I tried upping the voltage a while back but not even that seemed to help at all. I also set the memory to 2.5cl, keeping the other two options on 2.
I bought a new computer so i could avoid these video problems but they just keep on turning up, I need a whiz on this one.
