My system was working like a dream until cable internet service installed. The end result was having the whole mess formatted. Techs flashed M/B bios as well . I loaded in Half Life(1.013), Unreal (225f), Tomb Raider 4.All setup in 800X600X16 for testing. AGP aperture 256, palette snoop disabled. Disaster! In D3D , all exhibit very jagged vertical and horizontal lines, hesitations in game play and I can no longer enable volumetric effects in TR4. HL and Unreal show huge amounts of horizontal shearing , see scenery redrawn as walk towards it, ground and walls appear as watery planes that move in front of your view. No difference between OGL and D3D. No difference between drivers 5.30+-turbo or 5.4. I suspect the MB flash as the culprit. Any thoughts? I dont want to format again. Is G400max Bios 1.5.22 the latest version?
