Nvidia drivers seem to get corrupted over 2 week period
I have a weird and intermittent problem that I guess comes from my nvidia
drivers. After about 2 weeks of normal use, my pc will boot up Windows (Win98SE) with a lower refresh rate and/or a lower resolution. Sometimes I can reboot Windows and the problem will temporarily fix itself, restoring the proper refresh rate. Eventually though it will get to the stage where Windows will not boot, and I think it is failing at the display adaptor initialization. Then, Windows will only boot in safe mode. At this point, I uninstall the nvidia drivers, install the standard pci vga graphics adaptor, then reinstall the nvidia drivers, and then everything works perfectly! But, in 2 weeks time the cycle will start again, as if the drivers get gradually corrupted over a 2 week period forcing me to reinstall them. I've tried lots of things but can't seem to track the problem. I've tried quite a few different detonator versions - new versions, old and supposedly reliable versions, the version that came with the card, etc etc. The same thing happens every time. My setup is an Athlon 2400+, Shuttle mobo (latest VIA 4-in-1 drivers), Geforce4 ti4200, Win98SE (fully updated). Can anyone help me? tia, Stuart. |
