Hi all,

 

I am unfortunately not as old to know that.

I am benching on Socket 370 atm(also other socket at the same time ).

And using a VIA C3 733A, ASUS CUV4X.

I cannot run any 3D stuff.

I tried :

GF 6200 AGP DDR2

GeForce 3

Radeon HD 3450 AGP

GeForce 7900GS

Radeon 9600 XT and Pro

Radeon 9200

 

Launch PCMark 04 3D test : Blue Screen

Open nVidia control panel(the one with the 3D settings) : Blue Screen

after install drivers and reboot : Blue Screen saying atidll or nvidiadll drivers.

 

I don't know if it's the chipset or the CPU or Motherbord + this CPU.

Tomorrow will try with a Celeron and a Pentium III.

 

Maybe someone know that, I tried to brows the web but I found nothing.

 

thx

hmm, i think i had some problems with my via c3 as well when going 3d. i think it is a combination with some boards and this cpu.

best is to try a p3 as you mentioned to be sure.

I haven't had any problems with any c3's that I've used, but I've only used them on my cusl2. I'm currently benching one right now on the cusl2. Tomorrow, I'll try a couple out on my cuv4x-dls in single cpu setup to see if I can replicate the problem.

I haven't got the CUSL2, I only have the CUSL2-C (not compatible with Celeron that suxxx)

I tryed the VIA C3 on it, and it won't boot, that's why I am using a board with a VIA chipset.

You reached to work it with the CUSL2 ?

Actually I was looking back and all I did with my c3's was 2d benchmarks. I'll see if I can get one of them running on the cusl2.

 

I thought the cusl2-c would work with the c3's because it's almost an identical board. I'm using the x86-secret beta bios.

 

Oh, and I'm running a Nehemiah core 1.2ghz c3 right now, but I have a 700 and a 667 that I can try as well

Okay, 3dmark05 with a 5900 ultra works... I'll try one of the lesser cpu's tomorrow on the cuv4x-dls.

 

Edit: come to think of it... I wasn't able to get PCM'04 to run on my cuv4x board either and that was with a couple different pentium 3's... PCM'05 worked though. did you try that?

I will do some test tomorrow.

I have :

C3 733A

All Pentium III

All Celeron

CUSL2-C

P3V4X

(and 6 other s370 motherboards that are useless or not as good for overclocking)

 

I will test tomorrow, my parents are thinking I am sleeping atm

SuperPi 32M is still benching, I will test other cpu on the board just after it finish.

Damn VIA cpus are really slow with superpi

yeah. stock c3 667 takes over 12 hours

LOL, I just put a PIII, and I can access to the tab in nvidia control panel where there is the 3D logo animation without a blue screen.

 

Now I put the VIA C3 again, and I have a blue screen after opening nvidia control panel.

 

=> VIA C3 is not 3D capable

that makes no sense! Alright, that's it.... I'm putting that motherboard in service RIGHT NOW. lol

Okay, it's up and running with a C3 700A. Bios reports it as a Pentium II 700... But it won't get into windows because the installed OS is looking for an SMP setup.

So how can you test if you can run 3D or not

Just a bug in the bios. It will report correctly in windows once I get it there. I'm working on installing the OS right now.

 

edit: weird... I can't get the OS to install... first, my already installed version of windows wouldn't boot, now it won't install. It hangs on "setup is starting windows" on as scsi drive, and an ide drive. I'll see if putting in a single p3 will proceed.

ok

 

Btw somebody know how to read memory clock on the CUSL2-C with CPUZ

I have my memory working at 180 Mhz atm but cpuz don't read the frequency

 

EDIT: ha I reached to read it, hum I have to use 1:1 in da bios

ok

yeah, on those i815 boards the mem clock can only be read by cpu-z when you are clocking 1:1.

yep, that's correct about the memory speed. The best way to tell what speed your memory is running at when not running 1:1 is to see what it says in setfsb.

 

And as it stands, the Pentium 3 would install the OS on the cuv4x, but the c3 wouldn't. I guess the cpu and the chipset doesn't like each other. Sorry I couldn't help.

hihi

thx slngsht

anyway I found that the C3 won't do 3D and the PIII yes on the CUV4X

 

And yeah I know for setfsb but it's not a valid proof for the memory clock ranking.

So I will check if I can kill them all using 1:1

 

EDIT: Damn cpu/cooling limited atm 181 Mhz

CPU @ 1085 Mhz
