Hello.
Been back and forth with Matrox support for 6 months now, still no solution, hopeing I can get some help from here.
The problem is my marvel g200-tv 8meg AGP card crashes/freezes my system every 30minutes requiring a reboot. It crashes much quicker if using the tv tuner or playing any type of game compared to if I simply do windows tasks.
I am attempting to attatch 2 screne shots of example crashes. The video basically gets all messed up and either blurring everything with large black thick lines forming a grid across 3/4 of the screen, or the entire screen becomes filled with pixels of every color. Difficult to decribe the crash, easier to show a photo to anyone who might have an idea.
I have tried everything, including having the matrox card as the only card in the system and it still crashes. When a S3 AGP card was put in the system instead it all ran perfectly, no crashing.
I just need to know if it is a conflict between the ABIT motherboard and the card and whether I need to purchase a card from a different manufacturer to work on my system.
Any suggestions will help. I have been through every basic suggestion from matrox tech support already. I even had my old card replaced with an RMA and the replacement card still crashes.
Cheers
Vlaka
