starfox is on a distinguished road
It's pretty much instant, I download some OpenGL demo (just to see if there is any hardware issue with my mobo for play 3d) and demo works.
Unplugged all other devices that drink power (ie CDR, CDROM) and put the graphic card power on a dedicated power line (just to make sure there is no power issue)…. Still the same problem.
Put everything back to original state.
When I re-run dxdiag and disable the "AGP texture accelerator" and re-run the direct3d test, the silly test worked !! but when I re-enable this, the system crashed once again.
Thought it might be directX issue…. Uninstalled directx 9.0c (via some utility) it seems to have worked and reinstalled directX9.0b
Re-run the test same result, with "AGP texture accelerator" on, system crash, without it the test passed.
Still can not play any games with directX (ie Rome –total war etc)

Looks like I might have to re-install window XP….don’t REALLY want to do it… any suggestions ?
