as the topic says.

i am using big 6600 128mb agp with a7n266-vm (nforce1 with onboard gf2mx). processor is 1800xp.

i am having problems with random lockups & system hanging.

apparently there is some problem when i install the agpgart nforce drivers on the board & the system starts hanging in windows or in games. it sometimes hang b4 the welcome screen. on removing the agpgart it works fine but it is without agp accel & the performance is really slow. need a solution for this fast. i updated the bios to 1007 & still no luck.
using windows xpsp2. nvidia nforce 5.10, nvidia forceware 77.72.
 
Try using older nforce.
This is similar to what i experienced with NF4.
Of course yours is older nf1 but still exact same symptoms with NF4 6.53 drivers.
Try older Nf1 driver set.
 
funky:Hez using the 5.10 chipset drivers which are very stable.
storm:Get rid of the 77.72 display drivers ,they suck.Download the 77.50 from guru3d.com,they work well.77.72 used to cause lock-ups for me in nfsu:2 for no rhyme or reason.
 
i dont think u understand what i wrote undertaker. the problem is not with the display drivers. but it is some f***up with the gart drivers. it has happ to quite some ppl on the net also. nvidia has nothing to do with it.

ill try the older version of nforce drivers n check today.
 
through the nvidia properties page. I remember havin the option for 2x available on my old a7n-266vm. Bu tthat bight have been for older nvidia drivers

 
i dont get that menu. with the 77.72 drivers on the nf1 mobo. does it come with the coolbits2 reg file?
 
hey stormy ..... have faced the same problem ...try different drivers ...... for me it worked fine when i downgraded three or four revisions .....nvidia has all the revisions of drivers archived .
