RE: OT VIA freezing

["Des Gibbons" <des@xxxxxxx>]

Aperature size should be half ram size, although I think 64 pretty much
works :)

I find most freezing probs are either heat or acpi related.

As far as XP goes, you will need to set your PC-type as a non-acpi one, do
a
web search and you should find some useful info, it has been a while :)

First off check that your PC isn't overheating, expect a 20 degree jump
in
cpu temp when playing hard. Play for 5 mins, then check your cpu temp.

If cpu temp is fine, disable acpi.

Cheers, Des.

and want to use the machine for games.

When i play any 3d game after a while the comp;uter freezes. Andi have
to
hard reset the pc.

I have tried pretty much everything. I have switched off
the IRQ sharing, updated drivers, latest 4in1  via drivers.
