I have Radeon 3450 HD AGP on the PC. The Load Optimized Defaults in the BIOS sets the AGP Aperature Size in BIOS -> Advanced Chipset Features -> AGP Timing Control -> AGP Aperture Size to 128MB, but then the screen gets scrambled during boot and it's stuck. Nothing works and the PC needs to be restarted. Changing the AGP Aperture Size to 64MB or 256MB results in the boot, and the desktop GUI loading. There is a short 1-2 screen corruption during the desktop loading, but it's quickly cleared and the PC is usable.
