I am using WinXp with a GeoForce FX 5200. When I bootup it gets to the Windows Xp wallpaper, but doesn't boot further then that. The light on the monitor stays green yet the screen is black. This makes it hard to install driver updates as you always need to reboot, and I can't. If I choose last...

I am experiencing some nasty machine crashes during DirectX game play. Playing 'Rise of Nations demo' , all may go well for an hour or more, then suddenly the black screen of death and the machine restarts. Playing 'Empire Earth', I get all the way through to the tutorial START button, but when...

I had bought the above card two months ago and only started to use the VIVO yesterday to capture external video source - movie clips that were recorded on my Sony-Video8 camcorder. Also, I am using the InterVideo WinProducer Ver. 2.0 (B010. 52C20) software that was bundled together with this...

Alright, basically my MSI 5900 Ultra (256MB) won't run the "enhanced" version of the Dusk Demo - The one for the FX 5900Ultras - with more than 5 fps in Quality mode and about 8 fps in High performace mode. Same problem with the "Last Chance Gas" Demo. Every other demo and benchmark runs great and...

My MSI FX5900 has been great too. 100% stable, no problems at all. Have you ever checked your gpu temp realtime. Maybe run a game in windowed mode with the temp monitor running beside it. I used to think 56C was the highest my temps got, but when I did this, I was amazed to see it hit 70C. It only...

I would reckon it will be able to cope. Truepower PSUs are very good. However, if you end up getting a new PSU I will buy your Truepower from you :o) Harry On Tue, 12 Aug 2003 15:07:09 GMT, wrote: Greetings,

I trying to help a friend to get the TV-Out working on her G3T200. A couple to questions......... 1. Does it required to latest drivers to utilised the TV-Out function? 2. I think the card comes with an adapter from the TV-Out (looks similar to a S-Video connector) to a phono (female). ...

Just purchased.. I have had it for a about 3 weeks now. First of all I did try an Ati 9800 none ultra card.. I didn't like the results I got on a few things, so I took it back to the local store, it seems like a nice card, I didn't give it my whole test, sorry but I had to try it. I currently own...

Don't know if anyone else has had this problem. I did some searches of usenet and could not find mention of it... but my Asus 9560 Videosuite graphics card stopped being able to capture video on either the s-video or composite video inputs after windows XP Pro installed the 819696 directX security...

One of my favourite trolls in recent times was the (now absent) 'Nvidia Dewd' or 'me' or 'nospam' or 'Superior Knowledge Dewd'. At the height of his madness he seemed quite emphatic that the now-current generation of Nvidia kit was going to be multiples of the quality and speed of its ati or indeed...

I have just got myself a new gigabyte board 400 and I am getting a geforce fx 5600 tmrw, my question is do I need to get a bigger power supply for my case or will the 300watt one be okay, if not what power should I get 350 or 400watt cheers Dave --

For GF4 MX400 thingy? I know the crappy old 44.03 is still on the NVidia site, but I've heard there are betas in the offing - anyone have a link?

Hi, I just bought a 128MB DDR AGP Video Card with nVidia's GeForce4 MX440 3D Chip and TV-Out. When I fisrt installed it was working great, but the next day when turning on the computer the display was with a lot of characters with different colors. I removed the card physically from the PC and I...

The high quality game tests, image quality tests, sound tests and others...

Has anyone been able to get Midnight Club 2 working properly with the Geforce 4 and the latest drivers? When I play the game, in some of the races, it crashes me back to the Windows 98 desktop ( usually when I'm ahead!)

can someone please answer me in plain english do I need the latest card to improve these funtions as I have little interest in games or am I happy going with an older card that will enhance the performance over my existing one and not break my bank The 2 cards I am Looking at at the moment are a...

My Geforce 3 is now two years old and I'm thinking about an upgrade. Obviously going to a top of the line card would give me the biggest performance increase. But what about bang for the buck. I am not unhappy with my current card, I have it overclocked and it seems to run everything pretty well....

Purchased two exact same GeFX5600 256 agp vid cards for two computers. Problem is , on one sytem it now is crashing hard and is having trouble running anything D3D and unstable at best. This all started after swapping out the old card, a PNY GF440 MX wich ran virtually trouble free for a year. I...
