I can't play Black & White for more than 5 min without crashing. The system just hang or it say the game had an error and closed the game. I wonder is it because my fsb too high for the video card? it's at 128 x 8 and 1.9 cvolt. right now. and the temp is about 37 - 39 idle 42- 44 load.

hey man so whats your PCI clock at? 1/3 of the cpu? or 1/4 becuase if thats 1/3 ur running your at like 42.6 x2=85.2Mhz all AGP cards run at 66mhz! and then are dubble pumped or quad pumped...to give u agp2X or 4X....man if u can change your pci clock to 1/4 that should give u a working result...i am thinking that the fsb is too high for the vid card and when u play it starts to heat up and the temp gets too high and crashes after 5min if u get some cold cold air hitting that vid card u will probly get more time outa it befour it crashes at teh same fsb option

I'm not sure where your motherboard drops the PCI bus divisor, but on a lot of the current motherboards I've seen, it's usually around 130MHz. If you're still at the 1 / 3 divisor then you're running all of your PCI devices way out of spec. It looks like you're going to have to either lower the FSB to something that the peripherials will tollerate, or raise the FSB to take advantage of the 1 / 4 PCI divisor.

Good Luck!
