Just replaced my P3/BX setup with an Anthlon Thunderbird 900 on a Soltek
KT133 motherboard. Everything is fine except the GeForce keeps freezing
periodically. I run the Via 4 in 1 instaler and have set up AGp to Turbo.
I've also tried several Nvidia and Creative Drivers. I've salso tried AGP
set to both 2x and 4x.

My system has 128Mb and Windows 98SE.

Does anyone have any clues as to what else I can try?

Have you tried v4.28 of 4in1 drivers?
See my posting dated 01-02-01 subkect opengl problems
Your problem sounds similar but mine was only happening with opengl apps

Cheers

 5 Days ago, I did a clean instalation of WIN ME, VIA 4 in 1 4.25a,
DETONATOR 3 drivers, DirectX8, and only 3dMark 2000.
 It works installing VIA in standard mode (AgP 1x) but only got 5200
3dMark rate.  In turbo mode (AGP 4x)3DMARK freezes after 3 or 4 seconds
from running. I update all drivers, including MOBO BIOS, with no
success, PCILIST program tell me that MOBO support agp4x, and so video
card, but also says me that the card support fast write, but it is
deactivated. I have try to activate fast writes with DCGENIE and
manually using REGEDIT, but i could�nt do it.

15 days ago, I had the same system but full of programs and 3d marks
rates at 5950, I don�t know who.

Any suggestions will be pleased, Sorry for my English.

> I think I�ve got it. Finally i can get AGP 4X without problems on my
ASUS CUV4X, and ASUS V7700. The AGP port was shared with a PCI slot,
both using the same IRQ,  no conflicts, but clearly AGP 4X did�nt like
that situation. Run PCILIST program, it will tell you if you have the
same problem, if so, simply change the PCI card to another SLOT, and
run PCILIST again. Must say "IRQ X not shared" on the VIDEO ADAPTER
tab.

thought i didn�t get FAST WRITE enable yet. Any suggestion will be
pleased. Bye

I too am having this same problem, but I have a Asus Riva TNT2 card and
the Athlon TB 1.1 GHz.  I'm sorry but I have not other suggestion for
you other than what you've already tried, but I will keep you in mind
if I find something and would ask that you do the same.  Thanks!

Same problem here on an Asus A7V athlon,
with an Asus 7100 gforce2 mx for crying out loud :(.

Keeps freezing... just in windows... doing nothing fancy.
I tried reference drivers and asus drivers... no banana.

I have had always had a 3dfx card and have recently moved to a geforce 256
I am not running the sort of spec that you are ( k62 550 on s/s 7
motherboard)
but had the same  "freezing" problems for weeks.
I had tried all the latest reference drivers and detonators with no avail.
But after a few weeks have come up with a perfect solution.
I have gone back to the pre detonator drivers.
I am using refernce drivers 3.90 and direct x7.0a
Believe it or not my frame rates are twice what I was getting with 6x
drivers and NO BLOODY FREEZING !!!!
It may sound really stupid but I firmly believe that in this case newest
isn't the best.
Go on give it a go....
All nvidia reference drivers back to 0.1 are available from
www.reactorcritical.com
Hope you get it sorted

Andy Meredith..
