Not a test, do not ignore, FX5200...
Hi there, sure hoping someone can offer some advice. Been doing some
upgrading and now am running a Soyo Dragon Lite with a Pentium 4-2.4gig. When I upgraded the video from a GF2 32Meg to an FX5200 with 128Meg and went from 98 to Xp, I started having problems with the drivers (according to XP}. With the GF2 and XP, all the drivers I found were not "signed". My box would spontaneously reboot during games, sometimes in applications as well. Also, the Monitor makes a clicking noise and blacks out for a moment; like the resolution has just been changed. I decided to go with the FX5200 because it was cheap and Nvidias latest drivers are signed for the FX series of cards. Well, upon installing the new card and the newest Detonator drivers, I found that XP no longer complained that the drivers were unsigned but still have all of the same old problems, as described above. I'm thinking that maybe its a simple switch in the BIOS that might be the culprit but am reluctant to start experimenting because of the extensive individual changes that are available and no descriptions of what most of them do. Hope someone might help. |
