A cannot play any 3D games with my new computer.my computer:
CPU : Amd Athlon XP 3000+ boxed 0.13u 2.167GHz/333MHz
Mobo: Asus A7N8X Deluxe Gold ddr/agp8x/usb2/1394/sata rev 1.06 BIOS updated to ver 1004
Chipset: nVidia nForce2-ST
RAM : 2 x Apacer 512MB DDR 400MHz, PC-3200/400MHz.
OS: w2k sp3
Directx 9.0a
Display/graphics card: Creative 3d Blaster 5 fx5900 ultra 256 MB
(bad choice?) Games halt after 1 or 2 minutes. Usually the error reads like this: stop 0x00000050 (0xffffffe0, 0x00000001, 0xa02c8907, 0x00000000) address a02c8907 base at a0192000 datestamp 3ebc26f4 nv4_disp.dll
I disabled AGP fast write
I tested aperture sizes 64,128,256
AGP 8x support enabled
I tried creative's driver that came in the box + new from Creative's website (4.4.0.4) I also tested NVIDIA's ver 4.4.0.3, with no
effect whatsoever. I also updated Chipset drivers from NVIDIA's website. Could any one help??????

Guys don't worry about patches for your cgfx cards/mobo. etc, just make sure your graphics card get's assigned it's own IRQ. here's how to make sure it does. Right-click 'My Computer' and goto properties, click the 'Hardware' Tab, goto 'Device Manager' then at the top, click 'View' -> Resources by type, goto 'Interrupt request' now take a look and make sure none of the cards/devices inside your pc on that page are sharing IRQ's (especially your graphics card). My pc is crashing with 'Nv4_disp.dll' because it's sharing IRQ 11 with my Ethernet card, and i can't forking make it stop. I've been inside my computer and used every other PCI slot available but to no avail - XP or my BIOS still assign IRQ 11 to the Geforce4 and Ethernet/Network Interface Card. If anyone knows where i can get my hands on a utility to assign IRQ's in XP or a trick/tip to assign different IRQ's 11 please post it! Thanks

Hi everybody!!I found a solution at last that helped me. I have tried a lot of things, believe me!!! I can sleep at last!!!!
After doing two more things I succeded in making my computer not crash all the time: 1. Turning off USB support in BIOS since some USB channels was using the same IRQ as my GPU (and sharing IRQ was absolutely not allowed according to my Video card manufacturer)
2. Trying to cool down my card by turning down the GPU processing speed by 100 Mhz and reverting my chassis fan to blow inwards!! It was running at 450 Mhz (default) and had a temperature around 70 degrees Celsius every time it crashed. Now it is around 60 degrees. I will have to buy some more fans and stuff. I think the second alternative was the correct solution, for me at least. Since I canīt get into the VGA bios (see the manufacturers link) and it isnīt possible to get at those settings in my MoBo bios there are also a lot of other settings I could have tried but havenīt yet. Hereīs the link to my cards (Leadtek Winfast Geforce 5900 Ultra MyVivo edition) manufacturer: http://www.leadtek.com/faq-vga.htm I think there is a lot of things in that FAQ that can help some of you out there CYA

...SOLUTION ALERT...SOLUTION ALERT...SOLUTION ALERT...I've found the problem causing the crashing in 3D games and I think it will solve all of your problems too...... Well....one day after putting up with the last crash I can take, i decided to go and replace my ASRock K7S8X with a new MSI Delta one and though my troubles would be over. I was wrong, my computer still crashed at every opportunity. I noticed there was a blue screen of death just before the computer rebooted and immediately went in to Windows XP and turned off automatic reboot so I could see what it said. It said to turn off memory shadowing in the BIOS. Such as System shadowing and graphics card memory shadowing. Since changing these options, I have had no crashes what so ever....ever!!! Hope this is the same for you....it's not the software, motherboard, graphics card, O/S or you....it's the bloody BIOS settings!!!!! JimmyX2

I also had a similar problem.I have an ASRock K7S8X motherboard, XFX FX5200 Graphics card and an Athlon XP Processor. All my games ran for two minutes and then crashed. With W2K, the game would just shut down, in XP the whole system restarted. The motherboard came with a utility for stepping down the AGP card. I changed it from 8x to 4x and the games now seem to run fine.... Hope that helps.

Hi I have been going through a similar problem so i will tell you the steps i took that stopped the problem, i havent went through yet changing them to see which actually fixed it but i believe it was turning of 8X agp support in the bios...the only other tings i changed were turning of acpi but i stil had the errors after this and setting usb to 1.1 only no 2.0 support but i still had the problems after that, i have an FIC au11 board with a athlon xp2200+ with a gefoce 5200 fx i had nothing but problems until i disabled agp 8X in the bios.fabel@indirect.com
