jessejlt Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Try it without those applications running, if you are one of those paranoid people, feel free to disconnect from the internet prior to doing this. Sometimes real time scanners and other applications that run in certain intervals will cause slowdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Seb Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 or just maybe the card cant handle what you're running. After all, it is a GF2 MX. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iomega Posted June 19, 2002 Author Share Posted June 19, 2002 I tried these games at the lowest settings possible...it also does it in screensavers..too MOHAA / quake 3 / unreal / rtcw they all do the same thing I turned the applications and services off..

paulladle Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 Have you got Rivatuner (or another geforce tweaker) if you have then check whether it's (the card) is running FSAA, AGP or PCI mode, etc and then we might have a better idea where the problem lies?

Fedr0 Posted June 19, 2002 Share Posted June 19, 2002 IRQ 5 Magnum/Xpert128/X99/Xpert2000IRQ 5 Creative SB Live! series(WDM) IRQ 5 VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller IRQ 5 VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller Here's the problem. The 5th interrupt is conflicting with your usb root controller and with your soundcard. In your bios there should be under the pci options a voice called Plug and Play OS. Select yes. Plus, let the bios assign the devices and don't set it to manual. And, listen to me and not to what other people are saying, the GF2 MX is a great card.
