GPL: HELP Please. Lock Ups.

I'm still having lots of lock ups with GPL. I tried using the 3.68 openGL drivers and it locked up on the first lap. Went back to the latest (5.22?) from Guillemot and it works for awhile but then locks up after about 5-10 mins. I really don't think the video card is overheating as I have the case open and a 10" personal fan blowing straight in. Does anyone have any ideas that I might try? Please help. Guillemot GeForce DDR/DVI P3/550 Asus BX6-2 256M PC133 RAM Vortex2 SQ2500 10Mbit/Sec 3Com network card. Thanks in advance. Steve-S

Make sure you dont have any background tasks running. And make sure you dont have a virus scan or screen saver kicking in. And if you have MS Find Fast, turn it off (in control panel, even if it is not running). And make sure you dont have power management on your disk.

Make sure you don't have "sidebanding" turned on for your video card. I got lockups with sidebanding on, but after truning it off I have had no luck ups. Don't know if that is your problem, but it could be. -- Nos

I couldn't find any option for sidebanding anywhere in the display properties or in BIOS. Where would I find that? Thanks Steve-S On Fri, 23 Jun 2000 00:06:02 GMT, [email hidden] wrote:
