(basically: don't use the via drivers on the CD with XP SP2)

You do want to have the drivers though, for performance reasons.

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS COLLY!!!!

Could you state your problem more clearly?
Why do you want to use non-XP drivers? I had absolutely no problems with my drivers. If its an ATi driver issue, I'd suggest you use the Omega Drivers instead.

Also remember that your wireless card can mess things up if there is heavy Electromagnetic Interference in the region. If you live next to a radio or TV transmitting station, you may face problems.

ok sorry i havnt got back to you all
i have changed my power suply to a tagan 480
so far i have installed the latest via driver and i am still get the problem
playing hl2 and about 10 mins into game the monitor goes into standyby and the only way to get it back is reboot the pc

any ideas please

DaButcha76 · Jan 18, 2005

yup.. don't install SP2 or re-install windows with SP2 and use the latest via4in1s

colly · Jan 18, 2005

ok the instal was a sp2 instal and then tried the latest via drivers and the same problem

i think i have got round the problem by the fix u posted but i had to use the via driver form the asus site not from via as it didnt give me the option the remove them

just tired hl2 for about 30 mins no problems
so far so good

I think I put up a note in the A8V guide specifically asking people to stick with the default XP drivers instead of the newer VIA Drivers.

A request:
Please Fold for Team 32 i.e the OCF Folding Team when your rig is up and stable. Please look at the first line in the OC Guide on howto do that.

just an update
everything is working ok so far i have even tried overclcocking it
got to 230 x10
but thats with ram at lower spec cpu/12

Super Nade · Jan 25, 2005

Great! I'm sure you can hit 2.6 if everything goes smooth.
Try upping your VCore a little and increase your HTT.

Can you run your RAM at 2:1 DDR400 ?

colly · Jan 25, 2005

yes but the ram dont clock that well thats my next upgrade
any advise on the setings now would be great

still on bios 8

Super Nade · Jan 25, 2005

Well, you can keep running at DDR333 and slowly increase FSB/HTT. If stability tests fail, increase VCore by 0.25V. Do not exceed 1.65V if your temps start exceeding 50C.

Elif Tymes · Jan 25, 2005

Just a note: The RAM dividers do not affect performance with A64s.

This is due to the fact that your CPU automatically has a divider, and it never actually runs "In Sync" with the HTT.

So, don't worry about running your RAM @ a 3:2 divider or whatnot, it should still be fine :-D.

colly · Jan 25, 2005

well i did try 240 but it failed to boot
would i be better updating the bios

DaButcha76 · Jan 26, 2005

updating the bios if you're having problems is never a bad idea
