Leadtek GeForceFX 5950Ultra Games crashing
Hi,
I have just replaced my Gainward GeForce4 4200Ti with a nice, new, shiny Leadtek WinFast A380 Ultra TDH MyVIVO card (GeForceFX 5950 Ultra) and am now having problems in a couple of games, namely Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Battlefield 1942. Both these games worked fine in my old setup, but now BF1942 crashes directly from within the game to desktop with no errors after about 30 mins and KOTOR crashes with an error My system specs are as follows: AMD Barton 3200+ ASUS A7N8X Deluxe nForce 2 Motherboard BIOS Rev 1005 2x 512Mb Corsair DDR3200 RAM Leadtek Winfast GeForceFX 5950 Ultra TDH MyVIVO Plextor DVD/CDRW 120Gb Western Digital SATA HDD The motherboard is running with the nForce 3.13 drivers and the graphics card is running with the 53.03 drivers. I have checked my temps and they are all fine, including the graphics card temp immediately after the games crashes. I haven't yet tried Leadtek's own drivers, but as they have a completely up to date version, I might well do just to see what happens. As I said, nothing has changed software-wise since I had my GeForce4, except removing the Detonator drivers, installing the new card and reinstalling the Dets. One thing I did notice is that when I tried to install the 2.13 WDM VIVO drivers for the card, the TV Tuner device refused to start. Anyway, if anyone can help I would be most grateful. Cheers, Charles |

Idiot that I am, I completely forgot to mention my OS:
Windows XP Pro SP1 with all latest Windows Update hotfixes |

Cheers, Charles With regard to your 2.13 WDM vivo drivers this was taken from an earlier post (chaintech TI4600 question) "please" wrote in message ... Thanks for your help, I tried to install the nvidia WDM drivers but windows blue screens after reboot NVCap.sys is the error I get I found some help or more suggestions on the net but they didn't work, might you have any, any suggestion is welcome Thanks again Since 2.13_wdm-vivo.exe is nasty to your card, try NVIDIA_WDM_1.08.exe or NVIDIA_WDM_1.22.exe from ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows/WDM/. Clicking on a WDM package the first time will begin the process to remove any currently installed WDM driver files. Always respond with yes when queried about deleting any shared or newer files. Clicking on the package the second time will install the drivers. Tony. Thank TONY if this works for you also!!!! chris |

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have actually now removed the VIVO drivers
entirely, as I do not need them right now and would rather have my games working! I have also just installed the Leadtek 53.03 drivers andd they have not helped, not that I was particularly hopeful!

I cannot figure why. I went from thoroughbred 2400 to barton 2600 - no other system changes. I currently have d18 (the newest for my board at the time). I noticed that the newest for your board (version 2.0?) is the 1007. http://www.asus.com.tw/support/downl...luxe&Type=BIOS chris |

I noticed the new BIOS myself and updated it yesterday, but things are still the same. A friend is going to lend me a processor, memory and I still have my old GeForce4, so I am going to do some serious swapping about to get to the bottom of this. Extra info: 3DMark2003 crashes and reboots the PC straight after the CPU test using the "Wings of Fury" benchmark loads. Neverwinter Nights (v1.61) also crashes with this error: Faulting application nwmain.exe, version 1.0.0.0, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 5.1.2600.1217, fault address 0x0000b2bd. This error is very similar to the error when SW: KotOR crashes. Cheers, Charles |
