Hello,
Thanks a lot for all ur help.
I got really angry and blasted my vendor.He came home personally , and
he flashed to the old bios only b'coz i insisted. he promised that he
would get a replacement in 2 days if something went wrong . and
everything went OK . But the 2 games was not (same prob :2 fps in
game ) running well at all.Then suddenly he said that XP is getting
corrupt ( i dont know how, he said it was from experience ) . He
reinstalled and XP on C ( previously it was on D ) . and now voila ,
all games OK and working much faster.( POP was giving 2 fps in game ,
now it gives 30fps !!!!!!!!!!)
He says that he has set up about 50 systems with the same asrock mobo
that i have , and i am the first one to say that i'm unsatisfeid.Then
, i told him that it was b'coz of the problem and he said that the
mobo was fine.He says that intel mobos ( he has put up abt 10 of em)
give much more heat and this mobo though has a small performance hitch
with graphics cards , it is much better regarding to heat he says .
Also the mobo supports both agp8x and pcie . he quotes that all
graphics cards that he has tried on them have worked ( even ones that
are not listed in the support website ).
What could i say ? Whatever it was , the system was back to normalcy.
But look at this strange thing. I had a "working in 16color win98" on
C and XP in D. He installed XP over 98 on C. Now the XP on D is not
deleted !! I get 2 XP's in the OS choices menu . One that leads me to
new XP on C and another that leads me to old XP on D !!!!!!
Have u ever seen this situation . 2 XP's on same system.
And can anyone tell what could have gone wrong in my "old" XP.
