Hi!

I have the following problem:

I have a GeForce 4 with AGP 8X which locks up everytime I play a game
(looks like the system is going into standby-mode). If I use a
windows-tool (powerstrip) to set the AGP-speed to 4X everything works
perfect!

Now i want to set the AGP 4X in the BIOS (so I don't need the
windows-tool), but I can't find the "AGP Mode" entry there! So I've
downloaded and flashed a hacked bios where every option should be
available (also the AGP-Mode entry) but I can't find it! (I already
used CTRL-F1 in the BIOS to show all options) - the current AGP Speed
is displayed (8X) but why is this damn AGP-Mode-entry unavailable! It
can't be!

Any ideas???

Get rid of the hacked BIOS and download the real deal from Gigabyte. Gosh!
You wanna ruin something? It's no joke!

the hacked bios only shows all options - no other modifications
there... i have the same problem with the original (f13) bios from
gigabyte - there is no agp-mode-entry (and because of that i tried the
hacked/patched bios version)

In the BIOS of my GA-7VAX it is under 'Advanced BIOS Features', Flexible
AGP 8X. You can change it to 4X or Auto.
