P4 2.80c And Direct 3D errors
I just installed a new Pentium4 2.80c.. I had a 2.80b
Now,for some reason I get erorrs in Direct X/ Direct 3D tests.I also have errors in 3DMark 2001 and 03. I can no longer run anything that uses Direct 3D..Other games that do not run in Direct 3D seem just fine.. What is going on here? I am using a ATI 9800 Pro Asus P4C800 Deluxe Muskin Pc3500 ram WD 120Gig HDD |

Where did you find that bit of info NightSky? I have read quite a bit on these P4c's and have yet to run across that advice..Could you give me a link please? I seemed to have solved my problem without reinstalling my OS..I did however reinstall my videocard drivers and now all is working fine.. I also now see two entry's in my Device Manager,under Processer, for my Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80Ghz |

Alan Walker There are two advantages 1 is hyper-threading, and the 2nd is FSB goes up to 800MHz from 533MHz. I am running a P4 3GHz HT, with a 9800 Pro, and the system is so smooth. LA |

Hard to say...I believe I may have read it in Maximum PC magazine and/or have seen other users mention it as a solution to their similar problems. I'm glad though that you were able to resolve the problem without taking the drastic step of re-installing the OS. I seemed to have solved my problem without reinstalling my OS..I did however reinstall my videocard drivers and now all is working fine.. I also now see two entry's in my Device Manager,under Processer, for my Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80Ghz Good to hear. I guess this adds to our collective "knowledge base". :-) |
