Screen grapahics herky-jerky

My friend has a new ECS L7VMM3 MOBO (Athlon Duron 3100+) with 256M
DDR. The MOBO has onboard audio/video. She uses a Logitech optical
mouse.

When she plays her various solitaire games (she loves solitaire), as
the rapid card movements occur, they seem to stop and start
continually, like they are hanging up slightly. Manual card movements
with the mouse seem okay.

Where would the problem most likely be? Do you think the onboard
graphics simply cannot handle the solitaire graphics? Is 256M DDR
insufficient?

I have an identical setup destined for one of my kids, and although I
do not have my friend's solitaire game, I detect no similar problem(s)
with the graphics that I have.

I could use some help here.

Thank you.

What have I done?

I just posted a query about herky-jerky graphics using a ECS L7VMM3
MOBO (Athlon Duron 3100+) with 256M DDR. The MOBO has onboard
audio/video.

I did notice a slight hesitation on my machine in the graphics in
solitaire, so I went into the BIOS and set 'shared memory' from 32M to
0. Now the darned thing won't boot up at all (black screen). Boy
that wasn't something I should have done, huh?

I guess you call that failures to 'post'?

Anyway, now I get two beeps, followed by 8 beeps, then two beeps, then
nothing.

I am desperate. Delete key will not get me into the BIOS. In fact no
keyboard key gets any response.

Someone please help.

Thanks

I found the MOBO default-reset jumper, Whew!

Solitaire graphics still slightly herky-jerky.

Thanks anyway.

well, now you've done it. Because you selected to have no
system memory shared, now the integrated graphics has no
RAM to use to display images. As far as your computer's
BIOS is concerned, you have no video(specifically no video
memory, no video memory equals no boot). The only time you
would want to set it to zero shared memory is if you
install an AGP or PCI graphics add-in card, as they have
their own memory. Now, since you cannot even access the
BIOS, you must reset the CMOS. Since you have a newer
mainboard, reseting the CMOS will probably only involve
setting a specific jumper. Removing the CMOS battery for a
few minutes usually does the trick as well. Visit
mainboard manufacturer's website for detailed instructions
of reseting the CMOS in your computer's BIOS. Resetting
the CMOS is what you must do. It's no big deal really,,all
the BIOS settings will be back to default, you will need
to reset the date and time. Your computer's BIOS should
default back to 32megs of shared memory and allow you boot
up windows so you can get back to solving your original
display problem.
