Windows Forum / Windows Me / System Tools / January 2006Dxiag error performing Direct3D test
On my brand new PC custom built on Asus P5VD1-X 512MB RAM Win ME, Ati Radeon 9550 256MB with last available Ati drivers. Direct 3D test fails, no spinning cube on my black screen with some light triangles. Result message: Failure at Step 32 .... HRESULT 0x000000000. Directx version 9.0c (not December 2005 release) Any Advice? Thanks in advance. Have you installed the motherboard's AGP drivers? - try looking on their website for a new set.

I installed the chipset drivers (4in1) that I founs in the support CD. I will check for updated drivers (VIAHyperion on Viaarena site). The graphic card appears to share IRQ11 with theVIA Universal serial bus (USB) resource, I dont know if this could be a problem. I set up the motherboard with PNP O/S "No" (the default), therefore Windows uses ACPI table from BIOS, seems from the knowledge base that ME is capable to manage IRQ set by the BIOS, I dont rimember how I set up the previous Motherboard. I have the report from Dxdiag that shows no error, from the PowerStrip report appears that AGP Transfer mechanism is Disabled so no DMA!?.

(should probably be set at about 64MB) (although it would seem that this setting is the default in Radeon, from the looks of various forum posts) BTW - PowerStrip is reported to have problems, so I would suggest uninstalling it until you have your known problems sorted out - it will almost certainly conflict with the ATI Control Panel.

AGP aperture was set to 128MB (the default value) setting cannot be disabled, I tried to switch off Fast write (found in some forum), no change.

As I said, UNINSTALL PowerStrip before proceeding further - then re-evaluate the situation. PS seems to have some problems, and is best left out of the equation until the main problems are sorted SignatureNoel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's > AGP aperture was set to 128MB (the default value) setting cannot be > disabled, [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] >> uninstalling it until you have your known problems sorted out - it will >> almost certainly conflict with the ATI Control Panel. Powerstrip uninstalled. As soon as possible I will unplug all other PCI devices (Firewire ports, WinTV card) and see if one of them is conflicting with graphic card. Thank you Noel for your advice I'm not going to give up until I find the problem. My last Resource is to upgrade to XP. Hope to get your reply after my post on these test results Guido > As I said, UNINSTALL PowerStrip before proceeding further - then re-evaluate > the situation.

Installed Directx is 9.0c do you suggest to upgrade to "directx_dec2005_redist", Before making any new test?

It shouldn't be necessary - see how the system performs now, then do the update (that may give a little more info on exactly where the problem is) SignatureNoel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2006, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.crashfixpc.com/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's > Installed Directx is 9.0c do you suggest to upgrade to > "directx_dec2005_redist", [quoted text clipped - 71 lines] >> > >> will >> > >> almost certainly conflict with the ATI Control Panel. I uninstalled all PIC boards (Firewire and WinTV) Hrdware is noy only MB and graphic adapter, no other PCI devices. Started in safe mode, deleted all monitors, all graphic cards, Firevire device and all WinTV hardware instances. Started again the system (not safe mode), VGA standard 16 colors, new hardware found, hardware detection, graphic card Radeon 9550 detected, correct drivers found, restart. The system seems Ok, look into Control Panel’s System, I’ve found two Monitors, Sony Multiscan and Standard Monitor, under Graphic adapter, Radeon 9550 and Radeon 9550 Secondary (This graphic board supports double monitor). I run dixdiag again direct 3D error, no spinning cube (Now I miss it). This graphic card should support Directx 9.0! Maybe this MB is too new for Win ME, in motherboard resource I’ve found an unknown MB resource that appears to be in conflict with another MB resource sharing the same memory range. I tried to run the Hardware troubleshooter through the button found in this resource property panel but nothing happens. After this test, I plugged again the firewire board and hardware detection was ok. If I can tonight I will install again WinTV since appears that is not a problem of PCI devices. Next step I will install directx 9.0 December release.
