Okay so I formatted my computer and installed all the latest drivers for the XFX nVidia 7800GS AGP card that I have, as well as new bios and drivers for my ASRock 4CoreDual-VSTA motherboard.
At first Final Fantasy XI was working fine, but then it started to crash again... I really don't have the money to go spend on a new PSU, or a new GPU or a new motherboard, or new RAM, when I don't know for certain which is going to fix it.
I had a thought, reading through the motherboard's manual. The AGP slot it has is a 1.5V and they specifically say not to use a video card with 3.3V. Now, I can't find anything that says what the voltage is on my card, not even in the manual... Which is incredibly weird. Also, what if it is 3.3V? Is there a flash bios to make it 1.5V? Is that safe? Hmm.
Any help would be appreciated...
Also... It says for system requirements "An aGP 2.0 compliant motherboard, and an available hard disk drive power dongle (only for AGP)". I have no idea what they are talking about here!
