I recently installed a Geforce4 64mb Graphics card, so i can play all me games on me comp. i seem to be having some problems though.

Whenever i play a game, quite often the screen freezes and so does the game, well it crashes. Sometimes after 10-20 seconds it will start up again, sometimes it doesnt. As you can imagine, this is quite annoying when you are trying to slay germans in 'call of duty' .

If anyone has any idea of what i need to do please let me know.

I'm going crazy.


Thanks in advance.

Did you remove the old drivers for your old card?
Are you using the latest drivers? NVIDIA
Have you defraged the hard drive?
Cleared out the temp directories?

These sometimes help solve problems, but not always.

By temp directories, do you mean my temp internet files? or something else?

If your using XP:

C:\WINDOWS\Temp then just delete the files in the directory
C:\Documents and Settings\(your login name)\Local Settings\Temp
(To see the Local Settings directory, you'll need to go to Tools\Folder Options\View\Hidden files and folders: check the "show hidden files and folders").

get:

*latest bios for your motherboard
*latest chipset drivers for your motherboard (probly intel siS or via 4-1)
*latest version of directX (9.0b i think)
*latest nvidia drivers (www.nvidia.com , as posted above)
*any patches for the particular game u r using - some games have patches issued for particular cards


is always a good idea to have as little running in the background as possible (virus scanners n stuff)

if u need ne more help please feel free to ask someone else.

if that doesnt work reinstall the game, re install the window, sell puter...

Good point Mr Happy. Bushy have you disabled the onboard graphics card in the BIOS?

No i didnt disable them

I'm in device manager now, i can see the geforce but i dont know where my onboard graphics chip is shown.

Is it in Display adapters?
if so there aint anything in there.
If its in sound video and game controllers, then i aint got a clue which one it is! lol

not sure. if its not in the display adapters and not in a misc catagory (like system) then u might have disabled it already

expand them all and look for the name of your on baord graphics controler (if u know it)

oeeuurrghhh.... *dives into the shite* if it has onboard, but you've got a seperate one plugged in, it should disable the onboard....if it's using the onboard, you should get a black screen from the geforce...
