9500pro ati2mtag INFINITE LOOP / 640x480x4 screen reset = APIC problem?
Hello everyone,
once a day, or once every couple of days, I experience computer freezing and sreen reset to minimal default. It happens very randomly, especially while I'm connected to the Internet, with eMule (v0.30c) or ShareAza (v1.8.9.34) on. At some point, out of the blue, the mouse pointer doesn't move anymore, the keyboard is locked up as the computer is freezing. Then the screen is reset to default 640x480 16colors with error message: "Windows has detected and recovered from a device failure - Please restart". When I retsart, everything goes back to normal, and works fine... If I check "VPU recover" in Catalyst control tab to enable it, the same thing happens, the monitor is powered off, the screen stays at 1024x748, and I get the message "a device failure has been detected and partially recovered - software render has been enabled - restart to set video to hardware render"... I opened Windows XP Error Logs and I found the following error message: Event ID = 108 Source = ati2mtag Type = Error Description = The driver ati2dvag for the display device \Device\Video0 got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates a problem with the device itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly. Please check with your hardware device vendor for any driver updates. Any idea where does the problem come from? Defective Sapphire Radeon video card? Catalyst 3.9 bugged driver? USB or IRQ conflict? Internet attacks/intrusions killing/bombing my computer? eMule and/or ShareAza bugs? Intel i875P (Canterwood chipset) not compatible with R300 radeon video cards? If I disable APIC and install Windows XP Pro, would I still be able to run in HyperThreading mode? (APIC is meant for multiprocessoring and Hyperthreading = multiprocessor emulation) Thanx in advance for your help! Mark. My computer is as follows: =================== MB = Gigabyte GA-8IK1100 (Intel i875P / ICH5 chipset) CPU = Intel Pentium IV 2.4C (FSB 800) DDR = A-Data 2*256Mo PC3200 (Winbond BH-5 chips) dual channel VID = ATI Radeon 9500pro 128Mo (Omega Catalyst 3.9 drivers) HD = Hitachi/IBM Deskstar 120Go 7200 8Mo PSU = Fortron 350W ATX FSP350-60PN SND = onboard Realtek ALC655 audio chip PCI = none installed OS = Windows XP Pro SP1 (up to date) NET = AOL 8.0 MDM = Thomson Speed Touch 330 ADSL (300.7.0.2 driver) AVR = Norton Internet Security 2003 Pro (up to date) Windows System Information: ===================== IRQ 0 - System clock - OK IRQ 1 - Standard keyboard 101/102 keys PS/2 - OK IRQ 3 - COM port (COM2) - OK IRQ 4 - COM port (COM1) - OK IRQ 5 - Intel(R) 82801EB SMBus Controller - OK IRQ 6 - Standard floppy drive controller - OK IRQ 8 - System Clock CMOS/real time - OK IRQ 9 - ACPI compatible Microsoft - OK IRQ 13 - Arithmetic coprocessor - OK IRQ 14 - IDE main - OK IRQ 15 - IDE secondary - OK IRQ 16 - RADEON 9500 PRO / 9700 (Omega 2.4.96c) - OK IRQ 16 - Intel(R) 82801EB USB Universal Host Controller - OK IRQ 16 - Intel(R) 82801EB USB Universal Host Controller - OK IRQ 17 - Realtek AC'97 Audio - OK IRQ 18 - Intel(R) 82801EB USB Universal Host Controller - OK IRQ 19 - Intel(R) 82801EB USB Universal Host Controller - OK IRQ 22 - Texas Instruments IEEE 1394 - OK IRQ 23 - Intel(R) 82801EB USB2 Enhanced Host Controller - OK |
