How many are experiencing the freezeup/reboot AND are using a via chipset based mobo

^topic. looking to find common ground on all the problems people are having, and via has been having similar problems for some time. even if the problem only exists between the via agp driver and guildwars and everything else runs fine. well lets find out.

Yeah, my game will load a level (the files) to 100% then my comp will restart. It's retarded.

I have a Via chipset motherboard (Shuttle AK32 mobo, with Via KT266 chipset), and I have no problems whatsoever. Using the Hyperion 4.56 drivers.
FWIW.

My best suggestion is NOT to use a mobo video chip. They are horrid at most times. You can get a cheap video card for 100 - 150$ at newegg.com

He means a GART driver, which controls the AGP slot.

This was the main cause of my problems, after going through anything that it could be i simply ran system information, this showed me that my 4in1 drivers were 2 1/2 years out of date. I updated to the 4.56 and all has been fine, so maybe you should add another option - Had these problems but updated motherboard drivers.

can u supply a link to the 4.56 drivers?
i know my mobo is a via mobo cos i use the onboard soundcard and my installation disc installs the avance ac97 sound drivers and i recall the VIA thingie mentioned
the AGP driver really seems to be the prob cos it hangs my com when i plug in my i-pod into the USB slot as well

I have a VIA chipset mobo, and yes it has been restarting, but I'm thinking it's not the chipset but the PSU. I bought my case 2.5-3 years ago, and it included a cheap 350w PSU. It ran fine for the most part, but now that I'm running an AMD64, an FX5900XT, 2 HDDs, 1 CD-RW, 3 fans (2x80mm, 1x120mm), and a few other accessories, I think I'm pushing my PSU to the edge. I think that it drops me on the slightly larger quivers in my power source, or maybe a surge of a component requiring more amperage than normal. I may have to report back as soon as I buy a new PSU (about 1.5 weeks, too much stuff happening to do it earlier). I'm going to get a brand name one that appears to have something like 99%+ positive user reviews on Newegg.
