It's also doing so unnecessarily. ok, i've tried changing random BIOS settings, and found that changing "AGP Aperture Size" from 128M to 64M solved the problem with the new PCI bus driver. (i have a computer with 512MiB of RAM and an AGP video card with 128MiB of RAM.) weird. any comments on that?Received on Tue May 17 2011 - 16:05:09 UTC
