??? Make sure your computer??”and your video card??”are adequately
cooled. Overheating can cause your video card??™s chipset to lock up.
??? Check with the manufacturer of your motherboard for newer drivers
for your motherboard chipset.
For example, the ???infinite loop??? problem is common among motherboards
with VIA chipsets and nVidia-based video cards. Visit the
VIA web site (http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=64) for updated
drivers and additional solutions.
??? Try replacing your system??™s driver for the Processor-to-AGP Controller.
Open Device Manager (devmgmt.msc), expand the System
devices branch, and double-click the entry corresponding to your
Processor-to-AGP Controller. Choose the Driver tab, and click
Update Driver to choose a new driver. Unless you can get a newer
driver from the manufacturer of your motherboard chipset, try
installing the generic ???PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge??? driver
shown in the Hardware Update Wizard.
??? If your motherboard has an on-board Ethernet adapter, try disabling
the PXE Resume/Remote Wake Up option in your system
BIOS (see Appendix A).
??? If you??™re using a dual-processor motherboard, Windows Vista is probably
loading a HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) for an MPS (Multiple
Processor System). Such HALs support the I/O APIC (Advanced
Programmable Interrupt Controller), a method of accommodating
more than 15 IRQs in a single system. Unfortunately, APIC can cause
problems with AGP-based video cards.
