Thanks in advance Claire PS: Sorry about my bad english (only speak french or german) I surmise you're running an early generation P4 on a non-Intel chipset based motherboard. These have been known to cause quite a few problems with newer GF6's and later. Asus P4B's have also been known to have issues. Find out if you have the proper chipset drivers installed first (not just the brand of your board, like Asus, MSI, etc, but the chip it uses, such as an i850 or VIA), then see if a newer version resolves the conflicts. Do this in conjunction with the latest NVIDIA Forceware drivers. Otherwise you might have to look at a CPU/mobo upgrade. It seems that the second revision GF6 series had more problems with motherboard compatibility than even the first (6800's) or the Geforce FX's. |
