I recently bought a pc containing a K8T Neo motherboard with an Athlon 64 3200+ cpu and 2x512mb 3200 DDR400 Ram. It came with a standard VGA driver installed, so I went into safe mode (it has Win98 SE installed), removed the standard driver, restarted and installed the driver for my Geforce4 Ti4200. But when I restarted my pc again, I got all sorts of problems : windows protection errors, blue screens, the pc just freezing (sometimes with all sorts of colours on the screen) or messages that there isn't enough memory available to run Windows .
I tried using both the AOpen driver and the Nvidia Detonator one (45.23), but both had the same result. I also tried this with a Geforce2 MX card, but with no change either. I also removed my soundcard and am using the onboard sound and networking. I installed the latest Via 4-in-1 drivers and all Win98 SE updates I could find.
I already formatted my hard drive twice and everything installs perfectly until I try using the card's driver.
It's possible to install a Super VGA card and Super VGA 1024x768 monitor driver, but whenever I try to switch to more than 16 colors and restart, I get a message that the adapter type is incorrect or the settings don't work with my hardware, and it gets set back to 16x640x480.
Is there a BIOS setting I should change? Or maybe there is a problem with a Via chipset combined with Nvidia cards?
And why does the system find a "PCI VGA compatible adapter" when I have an AGP card installed?
That's the third day now that I'm doing nothing but restarting and seeing error messages.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
