Received the follow messages:
1) Not sure what the deal is. I can not find out if it is a video card (Elsa Gladiac) problem or a motherboard problem (FIC SD11). I have Vampire The Masquerade and Diablo 2 in Windows 2000 and both are having the same issue. After about 1-3 minutes of play, my computer reboots itself. Not just crash to desktop, but a complete reboot all by itself.
2) ATI's Xpert2000 AGP is the problem, even with FIC's latest BIOS update (NC611). Currently running a Voodoo3 3000 PCI instead. Even an older ATI Xpert128 does the same thing. Loads into safe mode ok, but a regular bootup hangs the video at the splash screen.
A clean install of Win2k with either ATI cards gets to the second reboot "finding & setting up your hardware", then suddenly blanks the screen, followed by a screen full of what looks like semi colons & hangs.
So it appears that FIC needs to recheck their BIOS patch that claims to fix the ATI Rage problem. Other than that, running the Voodoo3 has been great.

3) Not sure exactly what the problem is but I believe it's the motherboard. I've tried a 3 different video cards (Diamond S4 Rage, Leadtek GeForce2 MX, and Hercules Prophet II GeForce2 MX), all resulting in the same problem. In games such as Diablo 2 and Unreal Tournament, everything runs dog slow. It almost looks like some sort of conflict between the AGP cards and the SoundBlaster Live installed on the machine. Even the Blizzard logo on Diablo 2 startup is choppy. This should not be happenning.
