AGP & RC1
I recently did a clean install of RC1, & was having problems with my vid
card. My comp would flicker, & I'd get an error message along the lines "R300 stopped responding, but has recovered"....or it would freeze entirely. I've sinced forced the AGP in the BIOS to run at 4x, instead of 8x, and it has run perfectly stable through the weekend. Am I missing something in the settings to be able to run at 8x? - Radeon X700 AGP8X on a Soyo Dragon 2 KT880 motherboard. Thanks! Michael

Did you also check to see if there was a recent BIOS update for your MOBO?

It happened a few times (never reboot though) with i installed nvidia vista beta drivers and only when maximizing a picture clicking from the slideshow gadget... but after a few days this is not happening anymore. Vist is quite unreliable in behaviour so far (RC1) and I REALLY HOPE that the RTM wont be like this... It reminds me too much of win98.
