I've discovered an issue between various NVidia Geforce cards and RAM, but can't find a solution.
I've tried both a Geforce 2MX and a Leadtek Winfast A250 at different times (both using NVidia) and have found that it kills most of my RAM... I'm using 512 MB PC2700 DDR RAM, but after 20 odd minutes of use, my pc dies.
After running a variety of diagnostic tools, Norton system works discovered that it could only read 130Mb of the RAM.
I replaced the RAM, but it continued. I've now had a technican where I purchased it look and the only way we can get to use the full 512 MB of RAM is by using a graphics card that is not NVidia based.. We've also rebuilt the machine using different configurations - still using the Nvidia - without fixing this issue.
Has anyone else seen this issue and if so, is there a fix? NVidia aren't saying anything other than blame Microsoft (but we've tried those fixes already)
I'm running with Win98 SE using a Gigabyte 7VAX motherboard.
Thanks
