OT Asus A7V333+GF4TI??

I've recently upgraded my Video card from GF2TI to Abit sileuro GF4ti 4200 128,the card runs okay until i try to play any games,it freeze's the comp,i tried to do a dxdiag but it locks up solid,took it back to to have the dealer who tested the card, okay.He suggests that it is my mobo asus a7v333 and recommends that i upgrade to a newer board.My question is does anyone have a similar rig working with this combo i really don't want to upgrade until next year if possible. system athlon xp 1900 asus a7v333 mobo 512 ddr pc2700 abit sileuro gf4ti 128 150 gig hd winxp pro Any help would be appreciated TIA den

Have you tried upgrading the motherboard drivers? For example the VIA 4in1 drivers assuming that its a VIA based mobo. Not to mention you did uninstall the GF2 drivers completely first, right? MadDAWG

What pathetic advice from your dealer...upgrade mobo..lol As long as you uninstall the Nvidia drivers,then reboot. Then run Detonator Destroyer,then reboot. Then install the latest Nvidia drivers,then reboot. Then download directx 9.0b and install,then reboot. Then download latest Via 4 in 1 driver 4.49 from www.viaarena.com install and reboot. Then you will be ok. AD

Just to add to what the others have suggested, the GF4 draws a bit more power over the AGP port than your old GF2 did, you might try increasing the voltage to the AGP port, I seem to remember this being an option on the A7V333 Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--

Thanks a million guys,finally got it working,found out that after doing everything that was suggested,it turned out to be the voltage i up it to 1.85 and its running sweet. one question will i have to add extra cooling (fan) if so any suggestions. Once again thanks to those good people who helped as always this NG is awesome happy racing.

Probably not, if the PC becomes unstable, run it with the lid off and see if that helps, but unless it becomes unstable, it's not running too hot Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--
