Amar,

Some questions..

1) Whats the chipset on the Biostar motherboard? 

Some things to try:

1) Try changing the AGP Aperture in the BIOS down to 32Mb. this effectively
disables AGP, and will make performance suck. it will, however, tell you
whether it's an AGP problem.

if this makes it work, set the AGP Aperture to half your memory size, then
set these:

AGP 4x - disabled (force to AGP 2x)
AGP Fast-Writes - Disabled
AGP Master 1 WS Write - Enabled
AGP Master 1 WS Read to Enabled
Assign IRQ to VGA - Enabled.
Video BIOS Shadow - Disabled.
Video BIOS Cacheable - Disabled.
Video RAM Cacheable - Disabled.
C8000 - xxxxx Shadow - Disabled.
Peer Concurrency - Enabled.
Concurrent PCI Host - Enabled.
PCI Streaming - Enabled.
VGA Palette Snoop - Disabled.
Memory hole between 15-16MB - Enabled.

Your BIOS may not have all of these options.

Also, you may want to try using the 23.11 Detonators. I don't think Abit
have made too many changes from reference design, so the detonators should
provide a nice stable baseline install.

good luck!

Ian.

what runaround i have been having
I have a abit siluro gf3 card and a biostar M7VKB motherboard and
amd 1ghz thunderbird cpu.
I Cannot get it work. Everytime time it hits a 3d game  it freezes or
errors.
I have tried everything possible from updating bios, latest drivers complete
rebuilds.
Nothing works. i have rung their customer support for abit and biostar both
say it is the others fault.
I even rang their california head offices for help and i get NOTHING.
the abit worked fine on a intel board i had.
any ideas anyone - alot of late nights i have had trying to fix this.
I am about to through this motherboard out of the window.
