The motherboard is NOT assigning an IRQ to the AGP video card (Matrox Mystique g200) in windows 2000. I have the bios set to "assign IRQ for video". Here is my system at a glance.
motherboard - FIC VA-503+ - The bios version of my motherboard is version 1.15JK31 - I used to have version 1.13jk10 and it didn't work either. - The board revision number is 1.1A Memory is SDRAM 128 Meg 6ns Processor - K6-2 300Mhz (not overclocked) video card - matrox Mystique G200 (AGP slot) sound card - Diamond MX300 (PCI slot 1) SCSI card - SIIG (PCI slot 2) Realtek Network Card (PCI slot 3) Note: ISA slot 1 shares with PCI slot 3 Modem card - USRobotics 56K sportster (ISA slot 3)
I have tried (a) Only AGP video card AND (b) Only PCI video card [matrox millennium PCI version]
