I just put together a AMD K-7 800 system with an Asus K7V motherboard and
96 mgs of RAM.  I use windows 98SE.  I have a Creative Labs Blaster Savage
4 accelerator card.  My  graphics card hangs my system up.  It just
freezes.  I have it in the no. 1 PCI slot as recommended.  I have the
motherboard set to plug and play.  I have adjusted all setting in the BIOS
to the cards specs.  When I use the windows default drivers my system
doesn't hang.  I have set my max. aperture to 32 mgs.  I used the card in
my old system which was a Pentium II 233 with 128 mgs of RAM and it worked
fine.  I called tech support with no results.  Could I have some kind of
conflict?  I'm great with a screwdriver, but I don't seem to know enough
about configuring the system to dig myself out of this hole!  I  have
turned down my hardware acceleration, and if I turn it all the way down it
doesn't seem to hang.  It hangs every time I connect to the Internet (I
have DLS  with an EtherFast 10/100 LAN card if this matters).  Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Don
