I believe you may have forgotten to install your motherboard chipset drivers.

Thanks for your comment, but I have updated all of the software related to the system, I also had the Bios update of both graphic card and motherboard. But unfortunatelly problem goes on...

In that case, the next most likely culprits would be having 'AGP Fast Writes' enabled in BIOS Setup, or perhaps a faulty stick of RAM.

You could also try setting the AGP interface to AGP 4X instead of AGP 8X

I tried the 4X setting but it did not help. Up to now I downloaded all of the latest patchs and drivers for chipsets, graphic card, motherboard, etc.

As a matter of fact I have enough info about all kind of hardware but in this case I'm locked up. If someone can help me I will be so glad to know the solution and I will thank to him/her each time I play a game; I can give any kind of computer related help to him/her.

Thanks Catweazle, for your cooperation. I will try your suggestion, I will disable "'AGP Fast Writes"... Thanks.
