if your running the latest nvidia drivers (78 or newer) please update your gart driver (controls agp). To do this you will need to know who makes the chipset on your system board (nvidia, ati, via, intel, sis.

Download and run Everest Home Edition > http://www.oldversio...p?n=everesthome
When the Everest windows opens click motherboard, then motherboard again and it will give you details about your motherboard.

Make sure you've uninstalled your old ATI drivers!
