I would suspect the latter - these old VIA AGP implementations were notoriously unstable and problematic even in Windows and it's not unlikely that different BIOS versions may configure the card differently (AGP 2X/4X, AGP fast writes on/off, etc.) You can also try updating the motherboard BIOS and try playing with any AGP-related BIOS settings to see if they change the situation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
