[問題]顯示卡不穩定造成XP當機?

[allen2002]

哈!哈!好像找到原因了,下面這個聯結,有人徹底討論這個問題,叫作 infinite loop (無限迴圈),本來翻譯到一半,突然跳成網頁找不到,如果大家真的看不懂,我再幫大家翻一下吧!

大意是說,這問題主要出現在 Geforce 2 及 3,用 Windows XP 下,驅動程式 23.11或21.83(不只吧?), 跑Direct 3D 或 OpenGL程式時發生, Windows 2000也會發生.
這種情形和 Win XP, 晶片組, Direct X 8.1, 無關(應該是說多因素加在一起造成的吧)
目前沒有修正檔.(本文是去年12月寫的)
他提了很多調整系統的方法以減少發生,大家參考看看.
我準備試試看了!
再次謝謝karoter及各位網友的回應!

呵呵呵~~~~何止是geforce，我的tnt2顯示卡(gigabite ga622 model64)照當不誤，幾經xp內建及nvidia更新驅動程式折騰之後，依然當個不停，到最後竟然是手動安裝原驅動光碟內for2000(5.2.2.0)的驅動程式解決了問題!!!!!!(同規格晶片之FOR XP驅動程式全部當)使用至今已超過一個禮拜，未曾再出現當機狀況，也沒再看到顯示卡造成系統不穩的蹦現視窗~~~~~想想自己真是好運，同樣使用這張顯示卡的朋友可以參考看看~~~~^^"

呵呵~~我還以為只有 Via 晶片ㄉ主機板才會這樣呢？我之前就知道了，是因為 RX55 暫存器ㄉ問題，也有不是很完全解決這個ㄉ驅動程式(它在BIOS中關閉了RX55內存寄存器)..
不過呢？我驅動程式現在用 2.7.2.0 完全就不會當機了ㄛ....
Ps.之前玩重返德軍總部玩到破關大概給我當了50次以上(2.3.1.1 版)

我沒有用過nvidia的顯示卡，
如果...你對3D的要求不很高的話，
我建議換一張SIS310的顯示卡試試看，
速度大概 MX 200 < SIS 310 < MX 400
應該沒有這種問題...

仔細找各大討論區都有XP 和nVidia's 當機的問題
外國站這裡也討論老半天....看來是無解了
http://www.icronticforums.com/showth...0&pagenumber=1

我的經驗...我用過以下版本
1241
1630
2181
2183
2185
2188
2240
2250
2280
2312
2700
2710
2720
2311....其他不記得了
每次皆重新移除再安裝....
只有2185尚可...玩世紀爭霸可撐一或二小時左右才會當機 但換成使用REALPLAY 則會當機..需關掉使用最佳化顯示才可..至於MEDIA PLAY 則看運氣...其他版本則問題多多..大多是撐不到10分鐘不然就是進不了遊戲..2720也還可但變成MEDIA PLAY會當機且玩GAME 也是會當機...
配備..
WINXP PRO
MSI645
P4 1.5G
GAINWARD G2TI

我這邊的配備：
P3 1G oc 1.05G
創見 512MB SDRAM
華碩TUSL2-C(intel815EP)
麗台gf3 ti200，oc 225/513(原先175/400)
IBM AV40G+Quantum40G
Promise Ultra100 IDE Card
SB Live!
TEAC 540E
ASUS 12X DVD
RiCOH 7083A燒錄機
台達300W Power

OS:Windows XP Pro中文版

在下從21.83用到27.20，沒有出過問題，除了效能有差別之外，參考看看~

我貼一下關於這問題ㄉ驅動程式ㄉ說明吧..

This is a BETA patch only - NOT an official release. If you downloaded this patch anywhere apart from the VIA Arena forums, please visit http://forums.viaarena.com/ for more information.

VIA Technologies, Inc. takes no responsibility for the use of this patch.

Hi All,

I have an update for you. Thanks for being so patient. Here is a beta patch. I must stress very strongly the word BETA here. This patch has to go through more testing in Taiwan from several departments before it is released officially and in fact will probably end up being a silent install patch in the next version of the 4in1 drivers ?that is if further rigorous testing proves that it is in fact a fix to this issue. If you choose to install this patch on your computer, you do so at your own risk and full responsibility yourself. Speaking frankly, normally new fixes, patchs, drivers and the like are never released beta to the public. We do not like to use end users as guinea pig testers so to speak. However, many people in these forums have asked for the details and you have all been very patient and helpful in giving me information so out of respect for you I am making it available as a beta fix. To install it, unzip the file and run the setup.exe Do not run the setup from the compressed folder.


它能做什麼呢？它在BIOS中關閉了RX55內存寄存器！
So what does it do? It closes the RX55 memory register in BIOS. The RX55 register's official name and function is Memory Write Queue (MWQ) timer. The MWQ timer is actually a timing device included in the memory host controller to prevent write data being held in the memory queue too long. After the data has been in the queue too long it times out. This timed out data is then given a higher write request priority. Now that might sound nice ?a bit of extra performance BUT the procedure fails when overloaded. 3D games and Win XP put too much load on the memory queuing timer procedure. The nVidia new driver exaggerates the problem even more as the driver enables nVidia cards to use even more memory than previous driver versions.

So in a nutshell it抯 a memory timing problem that only happens when the RX55 register is opened. Some motherboard manufacturers have already released new BIOS that have the register closed. In other instances, this patch is needed.

One thing I have noticed is that I think some people in this thread are confusing one issue with the issue that I am referring to here. Symptoms I am talking about are the infinite loop error, dropping to desktop in 3D games or spontaneous reboot in 3D games. What I strongly suggest is that you try these trouble shooting suggestions before trying the patch:

- Load optimized defaults in your BIOS and do not modify memory settings
- set your memory settings in the BIOS less aggressively and test
- make sure you have an adequate power supply
- update your BIOS and test
- disable or enable AGP fast write and test (this has worked for some people)

The reason that I make these suggestions is that I think some people are confusing general instability because their systems are being pushed to the max, with this error. For example, if you have a 250watt power supply, 128mb RAM and have all your memory settings at max then you may be asking for trouble ?the symptoms may be similar to this issue but it抯 not the same. If you still get the issue after gong through these suggestions then try the beta patch (if you want to ?remember it is BETA).

This thread I think has broken a new record in these forums. I am going to lock it but also keep it at the top of the category so that it抯 easily available to people as there抯 quite a lot of useful information in it. I??l also start a new thread with this announcement so that no one misses it.

我的更慘，剛裝好就當，然後重開，開完後說我的 Ati Radeon有問題，我就打算更新 driver ，結果開個檔案總管也當，X...這樣要我怎樣更新啊？

[allen2002]

karoter,你運氣真不錯.
終於有和我一樣主機版的人,5967,看來正如我看到的文章一樣,不只只有Via的晶片,有人試過關掉 RX55 memory register in BIOS 的檔嗎?我已經忍不住想試了,我再努力找找有無辦法解決吧!也希望nVidia,microsoft可找到解決辦法吧!(雖然不太可能),看來看去還是 98SE 可愛,可是,為了編輯影片檔,害我迫不得已要把檔案切開(超過4GB),終於在 98SE 下,壓完我小姪女的影片,實在有點鬱卒,不過照我連結的文章調了一下,真的撐比較久不當,但還是會當,唉.....

[ayumi]

我也有這一類ㄉ問題ㄟ~~
我ㄉ是TNT2 ㄉ~~
