    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

    Are FastWrites on?

    And what is your AGP speed set to in your bios - sounds like it may be bios-enforced..

    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.

    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.
