Why this happened?

My Systems was working fine with 128MB PC133 Memory for almost a year now,
until yesterday, I decided to beef-up with 512 MB PC133 Memory.
Then I powered-up and Win98Se loaded well, but telling me
that my GRAPHIC ADAPTER was not configured correctly.
So, I tried tweaking it but wasn't able to do so, because
it has only 16 colors. I tried re-installing the Driver
that came in with the Evil Kyro 3D Accelerator, but still
Windows tells me the same msg.

Mobo EPOX 8KTA3+
DURON 850 Mhz (Not OC'd)
40 GB IBM Desktat 7200 RPM, ATA 100
OS: Win 98SE.

19" Vision Grapixline Monitor
Pioneer DVD 16X
LG 16 X 12 x 40 CDRW Drive
SB Live 5.1 Sound Card
Sound Blaster 5.1 Sourround Sound Spkrs
Intel Web-Cam
Castlewood ORB 2.2 Removable Drive

My first guess would be a bad stick, or one that's incompatible with your system. Try using different sticks and see if that's the problem. Did you get name brand RAM?

Also, check the manufacturer's website for a newer driver for the card. Maybe that'll help.

That's all I could think of doing...sorry

Exceeding 512MB of installed RAM can cause strange things to happen with Windows. To see if this is the problem pull the 128MB stick and move the 512 to the first slot and see if the problem corrects itself. If it does you will have to mess around with the vcache setting in windows.

Actually, I removed the 128MB Stick and left the 512MB.
The new stick is the same brand as the original. Is there a connection with the increasing the memmory to the VidCard misconfigutions?

I checked on the Mfrs site and they got the same Version of Driver for Win98 as the CD that came with it. Although they released a new Version for WinME. Is it ok to laod this Driver for WinME to 98SE?

I don't see in any of your posts that you took out the new 512MB and reinstalled your original 128MB to see if all is back to normal. This would at least isolate the issue to the 512MB stick
