I'm running AGP at 4X

I've tried those sliders all over the place. I'll check the AGP fast writes. I've looked at so many things I can't remember them all anymore. The resolution of the games doesn't seem to matter as I've run them all over the place with video settings high, low and in between. So far...

UPDATE: I underclocked this card from it's stock 324MHz core / 310.5MHz memory to 250/250 and all the problems went away. Now, what does that tell me? Is this voltage to the AGP slot, power supply problem, motherboard problem? I don't know. I took another Radeon 9700 card and put it in this...

I'm running an antec 400W supply. The case temps running full blast 3D apps is about 38C and CPU temps are about 41C.

Well...I ran as few services and processes as possible, only leaving critical ones running...this took my process count to I think 12. No changes. The system still dumps in the same fashion. I'm very frustrated. Thanks

Okay...I'll try shutting down processes and see what happens...as with most XP boxes, it's running a ton of crap in the background...will check that out too.

Yes, cabling is correct, nice idea though. I have checked with Intel and they say it's ATI...I ask ATI and they laugh saying that the card is used with that board by such lame duck low tech assemblers such as Alienware and Voodoo (sarcasm)...I'm going to change out the mobo and see what...

I tried the sliders towards performance and it crashed immediately in America's Army Operations (Unreal Engine) and Ghost Recon. I slid them back to Quality and both games stabilized but eventually crashed within a half hour. GR went to the BSOD and AA froze all video. ARGHH!!!

Yes, I agree...I am a tad cool towards SP1...I don't know how to get rid of it, but I can do a re-install as a last resort. I'll try those sliders and report back in a few hours. Thanks!

I havn't tried sliding to performance, no. This system has SP1 installed. Thanks...

Hi, I have a computer, when running hardcore 3D games, crashes to a hard boot or gives the BSOD (blue screen of death) within 2-10 minutes of gameplay. This is the setup: PIV 2.53 Processor Intel 850EMV2 Mobo (P19 Bios) 1G PC 1066 RAM Radeon 9700 Pro Videocard (6193 Drivers) Soundblaster...
