  • G200 - 5.30 - OGL - Blue screen of ...

    ... death

    K6-2 FIC VIA 503+, DX7, 5.30 drivers with
    a G200. Hexen II bombs out to BSOD Fatal
    exception error OE has occurred at
    0028:C10CEA2C in VXD G200VXD(01), Q2 just
    bombs to a blank screen with a cursor top-left-hand corner. Both play OK under
    DX7. And yes, I've ensured no 5.25 drivers
    or reg. entries are present before installing
    5.30.

    Anybody from Matrox out there ?

    (PS 5.25 worked fine)

    I posted the same frustation on 10/10. I too have a 503+ with a K6-2-450. Someone suggested that it is a VIA chipset problem, but no remedies have been posted that I can see. I can run on 5.25, but I want the 5.30 to work for me! Have had the G200 since its inception and I have faith that someone out there can bring us the CURE!

      I must admit that I saw your post (plus the others), but decided to start yet another topic just to ensure that the message was spread and current. I'm surprised that this 'bug' slipped by the testing process, but like you, I do have faith in Matrox to sort it out <sigh>

        I had similar problems... I have VIA chipset too.. But then again, I haven't had my card working perfectly before either... I'm on 5.25 again now....

              Yeah, same problem with a G200 and the 5.30 on a FIC motherboard with a k6-3 400... all is fine with a G400 in that same system... might need to keep these 5.25 for a while longer!

                DuRaNgO: Did mixing the 5.30 ICD and PD5.25 work ? (hardly a fix I know, but kinda interested in the result)

                Has anybody offically told Matrox of this bug (beyond posting here) ?

                  yes it did! showed about a ~10% increase, had to do it from a fresh install (uninstall PD 5.25 completely)

                    Just thought I should add to this thread....

                    Similar probs w 5.30:

                    Q2 = Grey screen w stuck mouse pointer
                    Unreal = GPF [Internal]
                    X - BTF : Hang with repeating music + GPF

                    Me...I have a k62-300
                    TMC T15VG+ [VIA] MoBo
                    Mil G200 8Mb SGRam

                    I also, reported this fault on the day after the drivers were released [9th?]

                    Good luck folks!

                      I emailed Matrox over this as well.
                      Perhaps a Matrox forums member could acknowledge that the problem has been flagged at Matrox Central and fix is on the way !

                      Let's not forget that some of us still have a G200

                        So clearly I should not even bother to install 5.30 in my K6-2/G200 box, eh?? OK, we'll wait to see how 5.30 works when I assemble my MAX/PII box... but till I do, it's 5.25 for me!!

                        No prob there, 5.25 works great!!

                        What? System specs? Oh, yes, right...well, at the moment, it's: Soyo 5EMA, K6-2 333, 256MB PC100 SDRAM, Maxtor 7GB HDD, LS-120, Promise Ultra33 EIDE controller, Diamond Monster Sound MX300, HP 8100i CD-RW, Hi-Val (Nakamichi) 16X 5-disk CD changer, Win98 +SR1...oh yeah, and a Millennium G200 8MB SGRAM.

                          Hell, give 'um a crack and see what happens !
                          As far as I can tell from posts here and elsewhere only OGL is at fault, but it fails so convincingly that I can't help thinking is anything else up with these drivers ?

                            VIA has there new 4 in 1 drivers on their site that updates the VIA chipset BIOS. Try it, one of the 4 updates is an AGP fix.
