Does someone have any ideas, this is driving me up a wall.
Have had the card for 11 days now and have emailed Matrox only to get 2 responses, asking IRQ settings and what and which slot is using the PCI slots. Answered back but no response.
The problems are all intermittent and have tried to find a pattern or common denominator all to no avail.
When running Expendable about 30% of the time it stalls causing me to reboot. Same thing with Tech demo.
Also even 2d seems sluggish with any and all programs.
I have fixed a few things and the locks aren't 70% of the time like last week. From reading posts here I first tried moving my SCSI card from slot 1 to slot 5, leaving 4 empty slots between the AGP.
DL PCIlist and it shows AGP x2.
Tried every setting for aperture, seems like 256 wprks the best. Also tried changing the settings for Video Memory Cache Mode from the default of UC to USWC but no change so I put it back (does anyone know whether the G400 supports USWC ?).
I have tried most of the settings for resolution/color depth, but see change in the problems.
Tried turning busmastering off but Expendable won't even start.
I love the card went the turkey works, but this is getting to be too much of a pain in the butt.
Hopefully someone here has possible fix.
Thanks Red
