HELP... V3 freezes@100mHz...

by Simon Goodwi » Sun, 25 Jun 2000 04:00:00


since adding an AGP V3-2000 all my games freeze at 100 mHz. Everything
is fine at 83 mHz. I have all the latest drivers, etc., 230w power
supply and suitable air circulation. I have tried underclocking the V3
with Powerstrip... no help.

Any ideas?

No, no. Good question... my bad. My AGP is in fact set to 2/3's.

Maybe its a heat problem since the V3s are very hot and just heating up
the cpu a little bit. Try taking off the casecover. If it then works try
add som extra fans or whatever cooling.

What is your core voltage set at? I have mine at 2.1 to get stability at 102
mhz fsb.

And if cooling and upping CPU core voltage don't do any good, I'd
suspect your PC power supply.

Thank you for all your replies. You were right Kendt. I changed boxes over
the weekend a low and behold. I am now running at 100 mHz with no probs.
Funny thing is, I went from a 230w PS to a 180w. I gues that'll teach me to
buy cheap third-party crap.

Simon, what is the agp setting in your bios?

If you are running the m/b at 100mhz you need to set the agp port to run
at 2/3rds speed (eg: 2/3rds of 100 = 66). The agp port does not like
being run at 100, which it is running at if the bios setting is set to
1/1 instead of 2/3.

Hope this helps....

Hi guys,
Wonder if someone can give me a tip on this AGP setting in the BIOS stuff I
have been reading about on here...
I checked mine out yesterday and don't see the 1/1 or 2/3 options you have
been mentioning, instead I have an entry in the BIOS which has settings of
4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128... what does this refer to and what does it do.
Currently set at 64 which is the default.

Regards

Peter Hooper
