Abit KG7 and Nvidia Geforce FX5700LE problems

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.abit,alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia (More info?)

I just installed a Geforce FX5700LE video card into a Abit KG7 mobo with
latest bios. and am having problems with both Windows XP and Linux
(X-Windows) both being very unstable but when I chaged the AGP setting in
the bios from 4x to 2x I was able to get things to start, but after running
for awhile it crashed, nothing in the logs says what happened. I have the
latest Nvidia drivers from Debian Sid and the latest Windows XP drivers from
Nvidia, and before this card I was using a Geforce 3 Ti4200 which ran great.
Anyone have any ideas, I read in the release notes for the nvidia drivers
that there is a known problem with the AMD Irongate chipset and AGP speed
and that it will only work at 1x, but this does not make sense since I was
running the other Geforce card without any problems for almost 2 years.

TIA
