About every 1 in 5 startups I get what appears to be a video corrution on my screen that is like a checkered pattern that evolves to thin stripes,then thick stripes of varying colors, etc. and while the boot up continues in the background,when the boot up completes the video appears to be in VGA standard quality. I have to restart to eliminate the problem. I have changed the drivers from 5.33 to 6.20's to 6.50 to 7.10 and now 7.58's. Interesting side note is that while I was reinstalling yesterday due to a reg. corruption caused as the result of removing a HKEY at the request of my friends at Logitech, it did it while there was no system, no drivers, no nothin' in the box during the initial mobo bootup test. So it sounds like the card or another component. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. |

Have you tried that thing that Spot posted on the main page a few weeks back : "changing the AGP driving value" ?
They can write all the code they like: someone WILL crack it !
. . . I'm just hoping it's me |

Yes Brain I have some limited knowledge of the AGP value settings, due to lockup probs with A7V, I think I have tried them all. Actually I'm just checking back in you tell you guys that it was apparently a bad V7700
card. I exchanged it for another and all is well. For those of you with similiar probs, they have changed the card since I purchased my first, which tells me Asus might have known about problems |

I read something someplace (I'm sorry I didn't bookmark the URL now)
about the fact that some of the card manufacturers out there were using cheap bios chips to bring down the cost of manufacturing, and that after a while the bios would begin having diffrent problems
don't quote me on this because I'm trying to dredge it up from memory, but i believe Asus, and Creative were among the manufacturers listed that supposedly used these bios chips for a while |
