Is AIW cursed with 3DMark?

[Volken]

A few days ago I've done OC to my AMD64 3200 (first 220 and later 240) MBO is Asus K8V SE Deluxe...

After 24 hours, Prime95 found no problems. After several conversions to DiVX and heavy duty usage machine works fantastic and almost the same temperature.

Problems started when I drove 3DMark 2001

After regular cycle test, anything more (longer period over 15 minutes) will always result in error !

Sometimes just within Windows (W2K) and sometimes will reset completely machine.

So I thought, AGP is one to blame because it can't match the CPU speed or higher frequency (220&240)

So I switched back to normal settings and the most disappointing and sobering fact introduced the truth to me

Even in normal mode 3D Mark has errors after some 10-15 minutes.

Is this another curse of AIW considering unstable nature? (conflict of drivers)

Anyone had this episode with AIW in 3DMark2001?

What it the problem and remedy and should I care for this error at all, considering the fact that I play zero games ?

When the computer resets, does it flash up with a blue screen beforehand, or does it reset as though somebody hit the reset button?

Any other graphics cards you could test with?

If the problem never happens within normal usage, then you could just ignore it - but it still means your system has a problem!

What drivers? Have you ever had any other graphics drivers installed before the ones you have now?

No just clean reset, no screens.
Sometimes message : "Card stopped responding at xy resolution"

There was AIW9600Pro prior to this inside.
I had some errors because OS for a short time claimed
two drivers are working in conflict (?) (WDM)

MMC 8.8 and hmmm, not the latest CAT but I think one before.

Try uninstalling the drivers, use something like Driver Cleaner, and then reinstall the drivers.
