I’ve been having a problem with my mobo and vidcard compatibility for
quite some time now--the odd thing is that it comes and goes. It used
to have problems when shutting down all the time, giving me a blue
screen that says something like "the video device failed to complete
a drawing operation." And whenever the computer was booted up, WinXp
Pro would give me an error saying that the device driver failed. It
hasn’t done that for a few months so I completely forgot about it, but
now it’s doing it again! I’m thinking I need a bios upgrade, but I
absolutely cannot find one.
Here’s what I have...
A motherboard, don’t know the brand (helpful, huh?) but the chipset
says "Intel AGPset FW82443BX." It came in a Gateway E-4200 though,
if that helps. I got the computer from a salvage sale, so that’s all
the info I have. I wish I knew the make of the mobo. Anyway, I’ve
already tried Gateway’s site, and many other places. No one has a bios
upgrade, from what I found.
The computer didn’t have a vidcard onboard, so I bought an ASUS
GeForce 32mb card, with the model number "4ACA032301." I seem to
have the latest drivers, yet the problem persists.
Anyone have any ideas? I’d really appreciate it. If you have any
questions, ask away and I’ll answer them the best I can.
