ali agp v1.65e & G400

[UncleJoe]

Have you checked does your system now agp 2x ... If I remember correct, it was disabled with aliagp 1.60 ... If it is 2x try forcing it to 1x ... and there was that agp turbomode-setting in bios too.. is it enabled or disabled ? That ALi-chipset i not really any example of stability ....

ali agp v1.65e & G400

Hello,

I've had systematic crashes while running UT or HalfLife after I have installed the new ali agp v1.65e drivers on my asus P5Ab. These drivers are supposed to support G400.
Did someone encounter the same problems ?

this is my configuration:

Asus P5Ab (bios 1007a)
K6 III 450 (4,5 x 100 FSB)
128 SDRAM PC 100
Ali AGP v1.65e
G400 32 Mo (power desk 5.30)
DD 4.6 Go Quantum Fireball SE
CDRW Traxdata 4424
CDROM Hitachi 8x
SB PCI 64 (last drivers)
Trust Ethernet PCI 10 Mbits (desactivated)
ISA scanner card Guillemot Maxi A4
IIyama 19"
Windows 98 and DX7

This doesn't occur with Ali AGP v1.60 but with that driver and since powerdesk 5.30 is installed, UT often crashes with the message (critical error DDbit failed : KO).
I reinstalled all the drivers (DX7 and power desk 5.30) and it's the same old story !

It's very frustating to have a crash while being the leader on an online deathmatch tournament, isn't it?

thanks anyway for any information.

I have almost the exact same system as you patE, and I have also installed the ali 1.65 drivers and have encountered no problems at all, although I haven't tried UT. I dont use pd5.30 however, because I read somewhere that this release was unstable with super7 mobos, and my own experiences support this theory. Try removing pd5.30 and install 5.25

Specs:
P5a mobo with bios 1007a
k6-3 450
128 mb sdram
IBM 13.5 gb hdd
g400 dh, 32mb
v2 12mb
SBLive Retail
Pioneer 6x dvd-rom
win 98 and dx7.0

btw after formatting my hdd (thanks microsux) my g400 defaulted to agp2x for the first time, and I have no problems of any kind
