Have you tried upping the voltage of the AGP port?
No.
(betcha I'm the last forumite who actually has an agp port)
Awsome. Manthorp only has a tattoo.
Was trying to fix an XP box today at work, when I opened it up was pleased to see it had a lovely AGP port. Tried upping the voltage, but didn't help matters (probably something to do with it having nothing in the AGP slot, was using integrated graphics). Reseating the RAM did seem to fix it (for now, at least) though! Ah, the good old days!
Welcome to my world. :-{)
I disabled write cache in xp to try and prevent recurring disk issues (which worked), but it killed game performance. So I re-enabled it, and will have to remember to boot into repair console & run chkdsk every few days. :-(
I'm hankering over a subcutaneous neodymium magnet ATM, but I'm not aware of any UK bod-modders who offer it as service.
I have about 4 spare AGP graphics cards. Just in case, but of what I don't know.
what brand/models are they?
