Goto your display properties and check something for me please...

Ok, on the page that shows the spinning NVidia logo, it says:
Adapter Information:
Graphics Processor: GeForce Ti500
Bus Type: AGP (PCI Mode)

Whats buggin me is why it says PCI Mode - does everyone's say this?

Also in my BIOS settings I have:
AGP: 4x
Fast Writes: Enabled
ISA Aliasing: Enabled

I ask, as I'm getting a few blue-screen-of-death problems running medal of honor demo.

What OS you running as I do not have any spinning logo.

Win2k SP2, latest NVidia reference drivers v23.11

[Edited by DazV - 1/25/2002 9:06:55 PM]

I have had problems with the latest Nvidia drivers for the Geforce2 and also TNT2, on 2 or 3 different pc's

It got really bad with lock ups, slow gameplay, and all sorts of crashes.

Reinstalled drivers shipped with the cards and everything was fine.

Might give that a go - never tried the original drivers that came with it.

Will see how stable they are.

I've just had the blue-screen-of-death in Internet Explorer 6 too - which makes me think it may not be my video card - getting PAGE FAULT and MEMORY FAULT messages.

DazV,
I'm running a Elsa Gladiac 920 Geforce3 card. When I click the GeForce3 tab under display properties I get the spinning nVIDIA logo and the following info:
Graphics Processor: GeForce3
Bus Type: AGP
BIOS Version: 3.20.00.10.04
On-board memory: 64MB
IRQ: 11
TV Encoder Type: Conexant Bt869

I'm running Windows XP@home and the latest nVidia graphics drivers, at least i think i am!

Interesting Howard - so yours doesn't say BUS Type: AGP (PCI MODE)?

I'm getting non stop blue-screens now, so I'm gonna reboot.

I've a feeling its the North Bridge (AMD 761 AGP) or South Bridge (VIA) doing it.

Back tomorrow after I've reinstalled everything!

-Thanks All

Thanks all for the pics and stuff - you wouldn't believe what a pain its been tracking down the problem...

As the blue-screens happened around the time I fitted the GF3 I mistakenly jumped to the wrong conclusion and blamed the card.

I was gettings increased blue-screens in Medal Of Honour with error msgs like "IRQ not less or equal" and "Page fault in non-paged area".

It even started to happen in Internet Explorer, so I began the long task of "process of elimination" during which I'd do a fresh install of Win2k

That didn't work, so I started removing cards and strip things down to the bare bones eg. Video card, hard disk, floppy, cd-rom.

That still didn't work, so I disconnected my scsi controller and hard-disk and switched to my IDE drive and did a clean re-install on that. Even during the installs I was getting blue screens.

....Anyway to cut this story short, I was playing with some fail-safe BIOS settings and turned of 'quick boot', which in turn caused the computer to do a full POST on the next boot.

...The computer froze on the next boot with a...MEMORY FAILURE. Turns out one of my PC133 256MB chips has stopped working.

The Moral to the story ? Keep the "Fast Boot" option turned OFF in the BIOS!! It would've saved me 2 days!
