Pc don't reboot

It sound like you have an old AGP Interface, if so, it's time for an upgraded PC.

Its possaibe to find AGP card on eBay that will support 1440x900 resolution. But first look to see if your motherboard will support AGP 8x card. 8x is your best bet

Notes on Sound and Video Cards

a.) Problems with the Intel i740 Chipset
Users with an Intel i740 chipset may experience a dithered pattern overlaying the game in the front-end. Gameplay should remain fully playable.

b.) Problems with the ATI Rage Pro Chipset
For Windows 98 users:
The recommended drivers for the ATI Rage Pro chipset are the latest reference drivers found on http://www.ati.com/. We recommend Version 4.12.2632.

For Windows 2000 users:
Ensure that DirectX 8.0 is installed. It can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=27742. Once installed, right-click on the FIFA 2002 shortcut on the desk top, select Properties, and add "3D=dx8z" to the end of the "Target" property.

c.) Problems with the S3 Savage4 Chipset
Users with an S3 Savage4 chipset may experience minor graphical issues in the front-end. Gameplay should remain fully playable.

d.) Problems with the KYRO Chipsets
In 640x480 the Pause menu overlay will appear to be missing part of the background. To fix this issue, set the resolution to 800x600 or higher. This will not affect game play in any way.

e.) Video Cards NOT supported by FIFA 2002
3Dfx Voodoo 1
3Dfx Voodoo Rush
Hercules Thriller 3D
Diamond Stealth II
Number Nine Revolution IV
ATI Rage II
Chromatic Mpact 2
S3 Virge
S3 Virge VX
S3 Virge DX/GX
S3 Trio 3D



Notes on Windows

FIFA 2002 supports Windows 95b, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows ME and Windows XP.

*NOTE - To install the game properly on Windows 2000/Windows XP, you will need administrator access to your machine. Consult your Windows 2000/Windows XP documentation for more information.

Known problems with Windows 2000/Windows XP:

During testing, some video cards experienced problems due to driver incompatibility issues. Check your 3D card manufacturer's web site to obtain updated Windows 2000 or Windows XP drivers.

No. Buy a second hand AGP video card and disable the embedded one.

This motherboard will support any PCI-Express (also known as PCI-E or PCI-X) video card-- which is pretty much any current ATI card that's out there. You DON'T want an AGP card however-- it won't fit.

Hello,
Firstly, remove the RAM and turn on the system, if you hear the beep sound continuously that means everything is perfect expect RAM.
Clean the track of RAM at both sides by pencil eraser completely.
Also clean the port of RAM.

Secondly reinstall the CPU with CPU FAN and also clean the FAN.

Third one is that remove all the add-on's card and than turn on the system.

Windows ME drivers for the Savage4 Card can be downloaded at: http://drivers.s3graphics.com/en/download/drivers/legacy/Savage4_394-398/82031wmerowlogo.zip

Hi tom2badcat, the SIMS game is very picky when it comes to graphics cards. If you look on the SIMS box you'll find their recomended graphics card list. The video card you bought is a low end 8x AGP card. You can try downloading & installing directx 9.0c from microsoft. Click on this link;

If directx 9.0c still fails to install the graphics card is at fault & you should return it. Listed below is a link. The link provides a couple 8x AGP graphics cards that will run both directx 9.0c & the SIMS expansion pack 2. (The graphic cards shown all use faster memory).
XFX cards carry a lifetime warranty. (No# Choice)

Below is a whole list of 8x AGP cards.

Brief Description:
November 2008
The Microsoft DirectX® End-User Runtime provides updates to 9.0c and previous versions of DirectX — the core Windows® technology that drives high-speed multimedia and games on the PC.

Hi all, I am running Gigabyte M59SLI-S5 mobo, 6000x2 CPU, 4gigs 1066ram, 2 dvd-burners, a 6600GT vid card, and an X-fi sound card, all powered by a 650watt BFG PSU, in Vista Home Premium. Ever since I installed the new ram my pc is running very unstable, It isn't the ram as I've run various mem testers and what not. Every time I tell my PC to shut down it doesn't, not all the way. My monitor turns black, vid card and HDD turn off, but the RAM is still running (can tell because of the LED's on it), and so is the PSU (lights are on). What could cause this? I also don't have any viruses. I had problems with my old ram in this same mobo as well.

Also another problem is that sometimes when I boot my pc it has mobo Bios F4, and sometimes it shows an F8H. So it doesn't always boot under the same revision of the BIOS. I've tried flashing the BIOS and reupdating, but each time I do that it stays at the f8h version a few days then sporadically reboots in F4 or F8 revision.

What do I need to do? Get a new mobo? And is it unsafe for parts of my pc to turn off but the psu and ram not to? I wanted to wait until March or so to get a new mobo, but if this will damage other components should I get a new one now? I appreciate all answers, as I am completely bewildered by this, and no one I know has ever heard of this.

And a side note, I have checked my running temps and my CPU is about 40C under load and whole system case is about 27C under load.

Hi, The problem sounds to me like you need to access the bios and make sure the AGP is enabled. If this is enabled then you may need to go to the manufacturers site and download the drivers for your board and operating system. With a P3 you should have no trouble running XP so if you are not using this already then perhaps you need to upgrade as XP has a very good set of drivers built in and will run most video cards and sound cards Regards mistyman

Assuming you have already installed the AGP driver for the motherboard, you will have to start the pc in safe mode (F8) on boot up, to start in VGA mode only and see if the graphics are ok. If it boots into VGA mode then the card itself is ok, but the card driver and agp motherboard driver, if not already; will need to be installed at this point because im assuming you were not able as you were getting the fault on screen.
