Hi all,
Long-time lurker, recent registrant, first-time poster. I've run into a problem that I've been unable to solve and my google-fu is failing me.
Here it is in a nutshell:
When I install 3D drivers on a WinXP install on my FIC VA-503+, I get either BSOD at startup (for ATI cards) or BSOD as soon as a 3D application is launched (for Nvidia and 3dfx cards). Outside of chipset and VGA drivers, I'm using the exact same nlited OS that I used for 3D with WinXP on my Gigabyte GA-5AX with considerable success. And I'm using the exact same hardware that I used for 3D with Win2k on the VA-503+ with considerable success.
Does anybody have any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
System specs are:
- FIC VA-503+ with 1MB cache
1 x 256MB PC133 CL2 RAM
P-MMX 166 @ 2.5 x 112 = 280 MHz
Nlited WinXP SP3 x86
GPUs tested so far:
- FX 5950 Ultra - Drivers don't install properly
FX 5900 XT - Drivers install, 2D works fine, but BSOD at 3D
GF4 4200 8x - Drivers install, 2D works fine, but BSOD at 3D
GF3 Ti500 - Drivers install, 2D works fine, but BSOD at 3D
Radeon 9800 Pro - BSOD at startup after installing drivers
Radeon 9700 - BSOD at startup after installing drivers
Voodoo3 3000 - Drivers install, 2D works fine, but BSOD at 3D
...One other bit that I'd mention is that the GF3 Ti500 works perfectly fine with the exact same drivers and no changes to BIOS under Win2k on this board. Anyway - if anybody has some helpful insights about getting 3D to work on XP, it would be very greatly appreciated! Thanks!
