QuoteNote #4: If you are getting full lockups of the computer when entering a PB enabled Server, do the following:
- check if it happens on non-PB server
- check for latest graphics driver
- check for latest chipset driver
- if you have a SATA controller - see below

nForce4-Board:
As a nForce4 user you should make sure you have up-to-date nForce drivers installed (the original drivers for nForce4 are known to cause problems). Do not forget to first uninstall the old drivers!

Get the drivers from here:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_nf4_win2k_6.86.html

nForce3-Board:
Uninstalling the nVidia drivers and using the WHQL-certified drivers from Microsoft helped many users.

SiS965L, SiS180, SiS965, SiS964 Chipset + SATA:
If you have this chipset, please install the following driver: http://driver2.sis.com/raid/raid304a.zip

Silicon Image Sil 3x12A SATA RAID:
Installing this driver will fix the issue. Note that it is just for RAID controller, even if you don't use the RAID feature.

ULi Chipsets:
Installing this driver will fix the issue:
http://download.nvidia.com/ULi/ULi_Integrated220.zip

VIA Chipset:
Make sure the latest hyperion driver was installed:
http://www.viaarena.com/Driver/via_hyperionpro_v510a.zip

SATA controller:
Check what SATA controller was built into your system. Check on the controller manufacturers website for updated drivers (especially WHQL drivers).
If none was found check the chipset manufacturers website for such a driver, after that check the mainboards manufacturers website.
If no success at all these places do the following:
Delete the driver in the device manager. Let windows find the driver and let it search for a capable driver at "windows update". It should find a WHQL certified driver now. That should work.

AMD X2 (dual core) CPU:
Getting the latest driver for that CPU from AMD is known to fix some issues too.

Also, close all other programs (especially debuggers both user mode and kernel), they could be interfering with PB.

We have found that IOMEGA drivers have issues that cause crashes. Disable any Zip or Jaz Drives. Card Readers can suffer from the same issue. Lastly, RamDisks are problematic. Increasing the page file size may also help.

If you need more help, please let me know which motherboard you have in your computer. I can point you in the right direction for the right driver update then, thanks.


i dont have that hardware, so i cant say if it works. try it if u got those hardwares!

i'm guessing that after you try out all that stuff ET will still be crashing, but you can give it a try!
