ive just formated and reinstalled windows and my ATI RADEON 9800 and put same game back on but they are runing bad, so i updated my chipsets and checked the settings and the APG speed is set to off and when i try and change it to x4 or x8 it retartes comp and its sets it to off again, ive updated stuff like graphics card drivers, ive checked the bios and nothing looks wrong, any idea on how to fix this thanks
amd athlon 2100 512mb ram Ati radeon 9800 128mb gigabyte motherboard windows xp home, was prof before i reformated SP1
Are FastWrites on? And what is your AGP speed set to in your bios - sounds like it may be bios-enforced..
well i cant fin the setting in the bios now, the agp fastwrites are off and the pci writes are on, cant change agp speed atall
Oops nevermind, misread your post. Try updating your chipset drivers... that helped me move my AGP speed from 4x to 8x. Look for your motherboard on Gigabytes site.
chipsets already updated and same prob, ive just finished reinstall card again and still same problem
resetting ur cmos will clear your bios and sets it back to default settings. this is the general way of resetting your cmos: pop out the cmos battery (the coin shaped battery on your mobo). then place cmos jumpers to the clear position for a few seconds, then place it back to default position, then put the battery back. refer to your motherboard manual for specific instructions.
k just done that, same prob still, you dont think its coz im still on SP1 do you thats the only thing that is differant with the computer after reformating
Im useing the program sisandra to get diganostics about my computer now and it gives these two errors: > AGP bus is unused or AGP card not fully AGP compatible and >Current AGP data rate not optimal any help?
