I have been experiencing seemingly random system lock-ups since about 4 days ,and since yesterday it also refused to boot sometimes. I removed network cards scanner printer and modem and tried again with the same results.
So switched my geforce2 for the old intel740 but the same problems remained.I then decided try a pci videocard and took an s3virge card from my brothers comp and put that in and the system ran completely stable , and had no problems booting.I tried the geforce2 and the intel740 again and the problems returned.The question that rises in me now is why does my comp become instable when i use an agp videocard ? If more information is need please say so and i will post it.

Hi Laparata

Need more info like motherboard, processor, os, ect

Did you install anything new before this started. Maybe a freeware, shareware or beta program?

Are you overclocking?

Motherboard/chipset:BIOS-I-2M i440BX-ITE867-2A69KV3IC-00 supports 1x 2x agp
Processor:Intel Pentium II ~350MHz (L1 cash: 32.0 Kb, L2 cash: 512.0 Kb)
Memory:128mb sdram 100
Operatingsystem:Microsoft Windows 98 4.10 (build 1998)
Videocard: Asus Agp-V7100 Geforce2 MX 32mb supports 1x 2x 4x agp
Sound:Onboard sound Vibra16 uses Creative Sound Blaster 16 Plug en Play driver
No overclocking to my knowledge.
I installed the latest version of the nvidia reference drivers a few days before the trouble started and i was using previous versions of those.
I have been having some trouble with the geforce and the agp bus in that accelerated applications refused to run in 2x agp mode.Seemed to run fine in 1x agp mode.
I hope this will be enough info for now.If any more is needed please let me know. Thank you for trying to help out.
