    Re: OPENGL BASED GAMES CRASH!!

    I had the same problem as some of you guys a while back. Consinstent chrashes when my graphics card got some load.

    I found that my problem was the AGP aperture size (a BIOS setting for those who don't know...)was set too low. It should be at least the same size as the amount of memory on your graphics card, preferably twice as big.
    The AGP aperture size lets the computer know how much graphics information should bybass the CPU and be sent directly to the graphics card. If it is set too low it can cause a lot of problems.

    Give it a try, it worked fine for me (on several occations). Good luck

    Hallor , im surprised no one has got it yet!!,
    On page 4 of the forums you will see a mention of the AGP features.
    Granted, alot of you use ASUS A7V87X or what ever motherboards, heck even i use one aswell, but after careful study of the same problem it is the AGP features on your VIA motherboards that is the problem, i dont think there is a BIOS version out yet to correct this problem, but most of you use AGP-8X cards, try going down to an AGP-4X card.

    I did this a long time ago, my system specs are irrelevent, but i put my GeForce 4 MX440 back in after my GeForce FX 5200 and hey problem solved.
    Until ASUS bring out a BIOS fix for this problem, go back to an older GeForce 4 AGP-4X card or similar and that should help.

    (by the way i apologise for my bad spelling)
