87810 2002-10-10 22:16:00 all i can suggest is try the card in another machine. make sure its not a hadware fault.

also BIFF has a good point. amd761 chipsets are touchy with noisy powersuppys. make sure you have a good one. the other strange thing is that motherboard has 3 ram slotts. however amd761's are to touchy to use all three. most 761 boards only have 2 ram slots.

which motherboard drivers have you got installed? what brand video card is it?

87811 2002-10-10 22:17:00 what ver of directX do you have installed? tweak'e (174)
87812 2002-10-10 22:25:00 directX is 8.1.

The motherboard drivers are the ones you can download from the gigabyte site.

how do I make sure I have a "good" PS?
THe vid card is pixelview? sound right...? that's what it's got on the driver CD. can't find anything else that identifies it...

i only use 1 ram slot currently...

87813 2002-10-10 22:30:00 might be a case of swap parts out to check they are ok.

any info on the BSOD? any error message with it?

87814 2002-10-10 22:32:00 BSOD is always different. Typically fatal exception OE at xxxx:xxxxxx
sometimes fatal exception OD. I've never had the same address twice I don't think.

87816 2002-10-10 22:42:00 Loser,

If you are getting Fatal Exception Errors you may want to check this Exception_Errors (site www.aumha.org) to see if anything there is useful in helping you to solve the problem.
