never happened to me but I would try reflashing the bios again! -
Which chipset is there on ur mobo? It sounds similar to the problems I experienced, if ur chipset includes VIA 686A/B southbridge, it's probably a hardware issue which ther'e's not yet a solution. My last and only method to solve it to have a new mobo.Last edited by George YS; 25 August 2001, 05:19.Comment

Since when did flahing the bios on the graphics card have anything to do with that George YS?
According to the latest official figures, 43% of all statistics are totally worthless..

Yes it is, my G450 worked fine also before I flashed its bios. I guess this problem is probably related to ur HW configuration, I tried both Epox 8KTA+ and Abit KT7A with my G450, there are the same problems on both boards. At last I decided to install the vid card on my Asus CUSL2, I used this system for almost a month any there's not yet any problems.Comment

hmm...
Since the DOS version of the flash util has kinda gone to the waysite, might I suggest removing the matrox drivers (provided your version of windows is somewhat readable) by using add/remove programs OR powerdesk uninstall util from Matrox, loading/installing/rebooting with the standard vga and try flashing your Matrox card again. Reboot and re-install your favourite driver set.
Failing that test, try an older BIOS set, such as 2.07 set.
Whyzzi.
PS: I don't have a dualhead G400, but my MSI KT7-Turbo is runing Graphics BIOS 2.1-35. (Mind you I didn't flash it to this BIOS level within using my KT7-Turbo.)ECS K7S5A Pro, Athlon XP 2100+, 512 Megs PC-3200 CAS2.5, HIS Radeon 9550/VIVO 256Meg DDR
