P4P800 + 3D Artifacts

Well, I got a P4 2.8C m0, 2X512MB Kingston HyperX PC4000, P4P800 non-dlx and a AIW 9800 Pro

I have the same symptoms like most of the guys on that thread.

My video is not overclocked at all. (to ensure it was not videocard overheating and such)

The max I was able to reach was 232FSB before getting corruption/artifacts. I have had my 2.8C at 250FSB, totally stable with dual prime95 test for 24 hrs. (so it's not CPU)

To test the RAM, I ran through 8 hrs of memtest in loops, no error what so ever.

But the strange thing is that, I do not get video corruption in all games. So far, NHL 2004 gives artifacts, Medal of Honour series gives artifacts, Counter-Strike 1.6 gives artifacts; where as Battlefield series does NOT give artifacts, neither does Call of Duty or Counter-Strike 1.5.

I mean, I do not see any patterns in the games to attribute how the artifacts would occur.(btw, I have tried NUMEROUS drivers on my AIW98 Pro including CAT 3.4, 3.6, 3.8, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, also the omega drivers 3.4, 3.8 and 4.1) And yes, I have updated my BIOS to newest, all drivers are up to date.

Anyone else have similar problem and perhaps a solution?
 
Have you tried Clockgen from the guys at CPUid? ( http://www.cpuid.com )

I use that on my P4P800-VM because it has no bios overclocking options. It allows me to lock my AGP and PCI busses.
 
I've run into this with both my computers

For some reason or another it seems that upping the FSB overclocks the video card.

I based off the fact that at 200mhz FSB i can run the core at 413, at 260 (ish) it won't budge 1mhz over stock.

Could be the AGP/PCI divider, or something odd like that, not positive though.

Gonna try underclocking my video card and see if i can get 4ghz stable.
 
I used clockgen at 245FSB, AGP/PCI at locked.

I have tried unclocking my vid card from 378/337.5 to 350/300 at 245FSB, but still artifacts.
