Help with crashing Geforce 5200
I have recently upgraded a PC to make it a better gaming machine. This
included installing 80GB HD (from 15GB), Sound Card, another 512MB DDR Ram (1024 total on 2 chips) and GeForce Nvidia 5200 graphics card. OS is Windows ME. Card was last to go in, all others were working perfectly. No problems running 3D game. I removed current graphics card driver before installing, updated Motherboard drivers (Via) and then installed card as per manufacturers guide lines. Went into 3D game (Planetside - On-line multiplayer 1st person shooter) and within 3 mins it crashed to desk top. So - removed drivers and card and reverted back to original card that was working. That now crashes too! I have looked at dxdiag. All ok. All drivers up to date. BIOS seems set correctly for cards. Tried setting BIOS at card RAM size 128 and half RAM size 64 but with no effect. 4 evenings of non stop trying and I'm at the end of my tether. The card is sharing IRQ 11 with modem. Disabled modem - no effect (dont use it anyway, use ethernet with broadband). I would really appreciate any other solutions offered, I'll try anyhting but please help me get back on planetside, I cant live without it!!! Lee Moore Aged 34 (greying and going on 50 with stress)

Might be a ram problem.Check for special settings for WinMe and 1GB ram. I know
W98 needs a teak or two to utilise more than 512. I removed current graphics card driver before installing, updated Motherboard drivers (Via) and then installed card as per manufacturers guide lines. Went into 3D game (Planetside - On-line multiplayer 1st person shooter) and within 3 mins it crashed to desk top. So - removed drivers and card and reverted back to original card that was working. That now crashes too
