PIII 1.4Ghz
128SDram
20GB HDU
3D Prophet 4000XT 28MB
need anything else?????
Normally when it freezes i just restart the computer and try again. Works every time. |
Sound card? motherboard? is the video card AGP or PCI? |
soundcard is on the motherboard itself i haven't put one in.
How do i know which motherboard i'm using (pre build computer) and now a very dumb question how do i know if it's AGP or PCI and what is the difference between them??????? i can work with a computer like the best but about hardware i'm a noob.

Borg, I had a old cpu with a via chipset and always had problems like you.. The best thing you could do is make sure you have the latest Via Chipset drivers, Or 4 in 1 as they call them.. Perhaps you didnt install these in the past?

download the "New" ViaVIAHyperion4in1v4.45.exe and see if that helps at all. Not hard to install, you might see it redetect some of your mainboard hardware though..
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST!!! |

I had installed the hyperion drivers. That is actually what I believe what started my problems. I installed one of the previous AGP drivers, and so far, I haven't frozen yet.
*edit to add*
I would also highly recommend the hyperion drivers to anyone who runs a via chipset, any chipset. These drivers incresed my framerate from about 15 fps to 30fps+. I barely get any slowdown anymore and have the framerate capped at 30fps since that seems to be about as low as it goes most of the time.
