I have one with a bad chip, it just locks up in games, I set it to a single chip, it works fine, but with a lot less FPS.
well, windows only uses 1 chip. so it may be so.
does it crash the moment u open up a 3d game, or later in the game? if its the moment, then ur chip is dead. if its after playing for a while, i say its a heat issue with just that one chip.
if its dead, just run in single chip mode. ull get the same performance as a v4.

1 or 2
I ran ghost recon and the game was all screwed up as far as display with 4xFSAA on but worked just fine with 2xFSAA. Also in 3Dmark2000 my scores were higher on single chip mode selected (which supposedly uses 1 chip) than fastest preformane (which says to use 2 chips). that led me to the conlusion that 1 of the chips on my voodoo5 was in fact realy dead was I right or should I try something else?
