Video Card Part 2

[IAIHMB]

I have no idea where to start, but here goes. About 10 minutes ago my computer went nutty. It started switching to sleep mode and back, and about 5 minutes later it shut off. When it reboot I got this error:



Does this mean it died?

have to tried to install a different version of nvidias drivers? I would do that first. go to their archive of display drivers and grab the not so newest version.

[IAIHMB]

Yah, I already tried that. That worked until I got to the point of playing games, everything would be fine except for the ground would be blue.

Have you tried it in another computer? Fresh install of OS and drivers?
Have you overclocked this card??

then toss that card and get something that blazes.

Make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest Directx drivers

Have you tried it in another computer?

My other computers are a '96 Compaq and a '98 HP, I don't think it's worth my time there.

Fresh install of OS and drivers?

I just did that last night, for hopefully the last time.

Have you overclocked this card??

Nah I'm affraid I'd wreck one if I tried.

Make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest Directx drivers

I am using the DirectX 9 drivers from Far Cry I think.

I have a feeling this card is going to be gone soon anyways, the more I hear about it the shittier it becomes. Is installing a new one hard? My installations go as far as RAM, PCI cards, and hard disks.

Are you using the 61.76 or 61.77 drivers (forceware? If so, I suggest you downgrade to the nice and stable 56.72s.

When I installed the Forceware ones that is when the ground went blue. I guess I am on the older ones, they are the ones that came with it. :P
