<br> Hi,<br> <br> I've been the happy user of RivaTuner for some time now (thx Unwinder, greatest util on earth!) First with my WinFast GeForce2 Pro and now with my new WinFast GeForce3 TDH.<br> <br> With the GeForce2 card I had no problems with forcing SBA and FW on, but on the new GeForce3 card there seems to be a problem with that. After booting Win2K, I can typically move the mouse around for about a second or two before the screen locks and I need to reboot?<br> <br> Anyone knows how to solve this? Could it be my AGP drive strength setting in the MB BIOS (it's set to Auto, which worked for my GeForce2)<br> <br> My specs:<br> <br> AMD Athlon-C 1.2GHz<br> Asus A7V133 (VIA KT133A chipset)<br> 256Mb SDRAM (133MHz)<br> <br> The system is running very cool (AMD@45C VIA@30C GeForce@50) thanks to ten (yep, no less) fans total in my case <IMG SRC="smileys/smile.gif"> So this should not be it (when I had my GeForce2 I was running quite hot, AMD@70C and still had no problems!)<br> <br> Thanks for any help you might have!<br> <br> A-)
> After booting Win2K, I can typically move the mouse around for about a second or two before the screen locks and I need to reboot?<br> <br> I'm afraid that I cannot help you. NVIDIA disable SBA and FW on some systems not only just for fun. They do it in order to improve stability. By enabling it you lower it.<br> <br>
<br> Ok, Thanks anyway Alexey!<br> <br> I got the FW to work by re-upgrading some VIA drivers and stuff, guess I'll live without the SBA then.<br> <br> Once again: Thanks for the BEST utility EVER!<br> <br> A-)<br> <br> P.S. As an avid user of the "PowerUser" tab, I've noticed that you have a help icon on the context-menu for each registry-setting, which states that help will be available in the final version! This sounds great, I can't wait to read any info you might have on all those undocumented settings. Meanwhile, is there anyplace I could go to get some info on those "mystery" settings (some of which sounds very promising and/or intrigueing) at this time? If not: When do you plan to release the offical version, and how much info do you expect to have the settings?
