GPL: HELP Please. Lock Ups.

by Steve Sarll » Fri, 23 Jun 2000 04:00:00

I'm still having lots of  lock ups with GPL.  I tried using the 3.68
openGL drivers and it locked up on the first lap.  Went back to the
latest (5.22?) from Guillemot and it works for awhile but then locks
up after about 5-10 mins.  I really don't think the video card is
overheating as I have the case open and a 10" personal fan blowing
straight in.  Does anyone have any ideas that I might try?  Please
help.

Guillemot GeForce DDR/DVI
P3/550
Asus BX6-2
256M PC133 RAM
Vortex2 SQ2500
10Mbit/Sec 3Com network card.

Thanks in advance.

Make sure you dont have any background tasks running.  And make sure
you dont have a virus scan or screen saver kicking in.  And if you have
MS Find Fast, turn it off (in control panel, even if it is not
running).  And make sure you dont have power management on your disk.

thus spoke:

Make sure you don't have "sidebanding" turned on for your video card.
I got lockups with sidebanding on, but after truning it off I have had
no luck ups. Don't know if that is your problem, but it could be.

  I couldn't find any option for sidebanding anywhere in the display
properties or in BIOS.  Where would I find that?  

Thanks
