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

in BIOS:
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??????

Is it total hard locking and requring reboot or just
crashing to desktop?

I had total hardlocks with my Radeon 9700 Pro, and solved
it by reducing AGP to 4x. Worth a go.

i had the same problem with my geforce4. use memtest86.com
and scan your RAM. i had faulty sectors in one of my 512
sticks and it would give me the same error. you should
find corrupted memory, if so replace it or return it and
that should solve your problem.
