Kong Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 After trying different versions of Via4in1 and Nvidia drivers, and trying the 686B Bug Fix and PCI Latency patch without success. I decided to try and move my SBLive. That was it boys and girls. I have 6 PCI slots, using only two, slots 3 (SBLive) and 4 (NIC). I moved the SBLive to slot 6 and all is well. I have sinced upgraded back up to Via4in1 version 4.37 and Nvidia 23.11 I have read previously of issues with SBlive and Via products and figured what the hey. I would love to know what the ISSUE is, what exactly is the conflict, but moving the card did the trick. Specs: Win98SE, DirectX 8.1 T-Bird 1.2Ghz Asus A7V133 256 SDR Ram GeForce DDR (Hercules Prophet DDR-DVI) SBLive! Linksys NIC What is odd is how long I had no problems with my system, I would say 6 months of very stable use then lockups. The SBLive, Via conflict is a known issue (The A7V133 is a Via chipset MB). Some type of resource conflict as certain PCI slots use certain resources, IRQ addresses etc. Anyway hope this helps! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
