Problems with display
I hope this is the right group. If it's not, I'd appreciate someone
directing me to the right one. I'm running XP Home Edition and I keep having a recurring problem with the display not drawing properly. Sometimes there are "streaks" across the screen, other times the screen goes almost black except for a few patches of the screen which look screwed up. Just display problems in general (it's ok for the time being.) I got an error message that said something like "Driver AG315-64 cannot complete draw update." I tried reinstalling the video driver, but I got a message that said "software could not be installed" or the like. It's really screwing me up. Now it's getting to the point that reinstalling the OS doesn't work any more. Help! |

So, this is your graphics board ? http://www.sysopt.com/reviews/ecs-ag315t/index.html http://www.fryssupport.net/frys/AG315.cfm Your problems could be: 1) Bad video memory chips on the video card. (Is there a tweaker for the video card, and have you been pushing the video memory faster than its rating ?) 2) AGP interface on the card cannot really handle AGP 4x rate. Maybe reducing the rate to AGP 2x in the BIOS will help. 3) Video driver from SIS needs an upgrade ? I found this note while searching on Altavista: "AG315 4X mode issue on VIA chipset main board (01/11/2002) * Taipei -- Jan 11, 2002 According to SiS FAQ document, Ref. No.: 315-FAQ-003, Date: December 3, 2001, SiS315 has compatibility issue with some VIA chipset main boards and it would cause AGP access fail in 4X mode. But it works fine in 2X mode. SiS declares that it is timing issue rather than functional issue and it could be solve in chipset side rather than VGA side. Please check the SiSıs file 315-FAQ-003 for detail. Since we are both VGA card maker and main board manufacturer, we can guarantee that AG315 is able to support 4X mode on all our VIA chipset main boards base on the verification of our RD. However, we cannot ensure that other NON-ECS/PCCHIPS VIA chipset main boards are also fully compatible with AG315." Based on that note, go into the BIOS and reduce the AGP setting. (I just checked the datasheet for the 865G Northbridge, and it only supports AGP 1X, 4X, 8X. So, you would have to drop all the way to AGP 1X operation, and since there is no setting in the BIOS, you may need a copy of Powerstrip from entechtaiwan.com to try to change the AGP setting. http://www.entechtaiwan.net/util/ps.shtm ) Considering the price of that shareware, maybe purchasing an Nvidia FX5200 would be a better deal. If you are looking for an upgraded driver, try here. Looks like the same 10MB download for the SIS315/315e: http://download.sis.com/index_step1.php HTH, Paul |
