Omfg My Graphics Card Is Making My Computer Crash

my video/graphics card: nvidia geforce4 mx
windows version- windows xp home edition

my computer is almost 2 years old, but after i reformatted the hd 4
weeks ago, it started crashing 6 days afterwards. windows tells me its
my graphics card driver. i uninstall it, reinstall every possible
driver from nvidia.com

and i try and start it up again- i have to reinstall windows cuz it
wont start up. even after i reinstall windows, it still crashes.
windows says its my speaker audio drivers, and my graphics device
drivers. i upgrade my audio, its ok.

but my video card- my computer still crashes every 5 minutes(with
graphics driver installed, hardware acceleration to none) and it lasts
2 days when i have the driver uninstalled before it starts crashing
again... i think i have to buy a new card.

any help, pplz?

I also have the same problem. I reinstalled the drives for
motherboard. Heres the kcicker. I can't use any drivers but the ones
that come with the card...no newer drivers.

I had the same problems. I flashed the bios on my video card and it
works great now. It is very simple to do also. If you want the URLS's
for the stuff let me know.

all i know is that i booted it in safe mode and screwed with the BIOS
for the driver, other settings n stuff, and now its fine o.0 hasnt
crashed since a couple days of my last post.. unless you count when my
brother was being stupid, and i dunno what he did- it crashed, a blue
screen came up saying- preparing to dump phsyical memory(blue screen of
death?)

but i forcefully restarted it, and it was alright after that o.0


but if i have to ever reformat my HD, ill come back here and fix it
that way... cuz then itll erase my settings and ill be screwed again



c ya l8r, and thnx dan-sama
