Ik heb dit bericht ook op een Engelstalige NG gepost en aangezien ik
iets te lui ben om alles te vertalen heb ik het in 't Engels gelaten
maar dat zal voor de meesten geen probleem zijn peins ik... :-)
Hi,
For a few years already I've got a Medion PC (Titanium MD 8000 XL) I'm
quite happy with but recently I've ran in some problems with my new GPU.
It's originally equipped with a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 with 128 MB card but
since this is too weak for almost all games nowadays I've tried two
types of better AGP cards but neither of them works the way it should
and I never had problems with the old GPU... :-s
I've tried a GeForce 6600/6800 GT/GS (I don't remember it exactly) and
more recently a GeForce 7800 GS but whenever I run a game I get into
trouble.
Most of the time my PC just hangs and sometimes I just have some
artifacts (like green/inverted textures and deformed 3D models, like
vertices that lie outside the model so it looks like spikes are sticking
out) or BSOD driver_irql_not_less_or_equal on the openhci.sys USB driver.
So I'm thinking it's either the chipset/GPU combination, an
insufficient/broken PSU (it's only a 250 Watt one and I've read some
stuff about bad capacitors causing havoc too) or perhaps even heat
problems since it's getting quite hot in there with 2 HD's, a DVD-RW and
CD-RW drive but leaving the case open does not change anything.
Did I mention both cards have an extra power hookup since the AGP bus
can't deliver the power they need?
Also, some games never crash (Quake 4), some rarely crash (Call of duty
2), some almost never crash (Call of duty 2), some crash after more or
less half an hour (F.E.A.R.) and some crash after a few minutes (FlatOut
2) so this ain't looking good.
Are there some things I can try in order to resolve this problem or am I
doomed here?
Merci,
Wimmmy

Ben ik van plan voor de volgende keer maar nu ga ik die nog ni echt weg
doen...
En ik vrees dat de kleine PC boer niet echt meer veel te zeggen heeft.
De tijd van poen scheppen met PC's is al effe voorbij.

Hmzz, ik heb een 500, 600 en 1200 gehad en meer dan 512 k RAM bijsteken
in die 500 heb ik niet gedaan.
k' Weet wel dat er uitbereidingskaarten allerhande waren maar die waren
pokkeduur en zolang ik kon gamen was ik al content.
Nu speel ik soms nog eens Banshee op WinUAE... :-)
