CPU is a Mobile Barton 35 watt edition XP2200. Yes a 2200. Here is where I got it. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=19-103-440&depa=0 It is overclocked by 758mhz by adding .3 more volts. Yes it is Painkiller but only the demos 1 and 2. Good game from what I can tell. That wheel is great and inexpensive. I will post some inside case screenies soon.

Your CPU volts may be low. I do not know I ned to get to bed. Try to find out what they are supposed to be.If you have a HP I doubt you can access those features.Hitting repetedly F1 or del on boot gets you into most bioses.

Here ya go Sharpie.Now you can see more clearly.

That is not a huge problem but it is a start.

Maybe your Mobo can only do 4x agp.

Some people can.

Can you adjust teh bios voltage and AGP?

Hmmmmm.What is the default voltage for a P4?You are at 1.44 volts. The other thing is Why are you at AGP 4x. The 9600 is a 8x agp if I am not mistaken.

Screens can be taken with Printkey 2000. http://www.freewareweb.com/cgi-bin/archive.cgi?download=1&ID=292 http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_description/0,fid,5144,00.asp

That looks OK but can you take a screenshot of the pages that you see.I saw most everything is as it should be. We need to se voltage.If you can D/L motherboard Monitor and post a screenshot of that. What we are doing is a process of elimination.

Great job.As long as it works.You can replace the ps fan too. Just open her up and replace it. Sometimes they need to be spliced in though.

We could organize this.Mac

Thanks for hosting the match as well.Mac

Congrats SS6 !!!!!!!

Have you reinstalled the game.? Have you patched all the problem games.? If you have the old card or can borrow someones. Test another card in your machine. The card maybe going bad. I had a GF5200 that ran horribly. No matter what I did. But it never ran right. I assume the 9600 did at one point. Also. If you follow one of the links above (forum one). It tells you how to uninstall the default windows drivers. Try that. If you have two sticks of ram. Try removing one of them. Download cpuid here http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php version 1.23 and make sure your processor is running at the correct speed as well as your memory. It is also possible your CPU is not getting the proper volts as well as the V-card from the mobo or powersupply. This will not cause a crash or drop to windows all the time. Bojangles. Have you done the above. Reinstalled drivers etc etc.?

KISS Keep it simple stupid. We use that term for Hazmat, Firefighting, Confined space rescue etc etc. What Killer says is fine but only use it as a last resort. If it is finding the drivers then you did not do it correctly. It should boot up and load a standard VGA card.

Goto your profile up above.Change your name.

You can always get the prior year version for really cheap. Like $10 shipped. Just search for it.

Thanks for the link.

Guess I will have to post mine.Nice job GH.Mac

Direct X 9.0b reinstall. Look for something running in the background. Hit cntrl alt del and see what is running. Use Hyjack This. Search in Google. To find and stop the program from running if you cannot turn it off or uninstall it ( If it is a Trojan ) I would do Graphics card delete all files program. Find them in www.guru3d.com. Remove all graphics card files ( With a program ) then reinstall the latest ones. You may have AA running and it says it is off or something along that idea. You will not have to start with total reformat. Just total/reformat your V-card drivers.

Awesome job.Gotta love Leggo.Wonder how long it took to make?
