I just did a fresh install of WinXP Pro and have problems w/my new 6800gt all day.
It randomly locks up - leaving me to hard reset - or it reboots on its own.
This is my setup:
Gigabyte GA-7DPXDW+ (P)
2x2600+ XP-m @ 2380
2x512 Samsung reg'd 2700DDR
SB Audigy 2 ZS
NEC USB 2
Evga - NVTV tuner card
600w Enermax PSU
Onboard LAN
I am not doing anything in particualr when it locks - it has locked on the desktop with me just accessing the 'start' menu, locked browing w/IE and firefox.
I have played short stints of games (Doom 3 and HL2) and it did not lock at all.
I switched around PCI slots too - w/my USB, nvtv and audigy 2
the temps of my GPU and CPUs are fine.
I think it has to do with my IRQ assignments(s).
If anyone can help with IRQ assigning that would be great. With this mobo I'm a little lost with 'reserved' and 'pci device' IRQ assigning.
My Raid, USB and Sb Audigy are sharing the same IRQ - most other components seem to be on their own IRQ.
I have disabled my serial and parallel ports - I do no use or plan on using them. I hoped it would free IRQs - but this didn't help at all though.
All of my PCI cards are in the 32-bit pci slots.
thanks!
