i got everthing in july last year and have been having problems since day one...

First Problem.....

(this pic shows a packard bell monitor, im just using the monitor)

(only happens in game) when the screen does not going fasy, it will show a bsod and show an error
with nv4.dll. i have tryed the 28, 29,30(computer was freezing in windows) 40, 41 detenator driver (computer stoped frezzing in windows, but still problems in games)
and i have tryed the winfast drivers but no luck..

Second Problem....

When im in windows the screen will just go blank and come back in 1 sec like a refresh, but thats so annoying specially when
ur in photoshop;((((((
it happens most when i click on something and on a web site with alot of moving pics.

-------------------------------------

i am currently running the 41.09 drivers..
but i can play games for two days and no problems ;)
but the next two day i will have problems
its very random...


I have had my motherboard checked from where i got it from and it works fine.
i have had my video cards checked from where i got it from 2 times, working fine, and my friend tryed it on his
computer and he said he has had no problems...
i have had my RAM check 2 times by a friend and a friend with the same motherboard and no problems..

WHAT CAN IT BE.........

this is in the VIA drivers read me

Special Note.(For WinFast VGA AGP users only)
WinFast AGP VGA drivers is bundled with VIA VGA VxD. For users who use
WinFast AGP VGA, we suggest you to download the driver from WinFast Web site.
If you do not have access to Internet, we suggest that you install WinFast
driver before install VIA AGP VxD Driver.

i have installed XP with and with out the VIA drivers and still have the problems...

can somebody PLZ HELP ME...

I wouldn't load any drivers after the XP install until all the updated VIA drivers were loaded first and then load the video drivers followed by any others. Also check ya IRQ's for anything sharin' with the video card. ;)

What are your bios settings that pertain to video? What kind of temps do you read in the rig?

[240T]

here are my current AGP bios setting

[Wiggo]

Disable ya AGP Fastwrites and reduce ya AGP aperture size down to 128MB then see if that improves things.

[aznx]

fast writes does funny things to your comp:D

[RDR]

the lastest generation of ATi cards seem to tolerate fast writes fairly well - I'm not sure how much it actually inpacts performance though

I've never had any luck with fast writes w/nvidia cards

[240T]

i have had no luck yet...
i have updated my bios
disabled fast write
and set my aperture size down to 128MB;(
what are the best drivers for the gf4

[theyneverknew]

try the 43.00's or the 42.68's from guru3d.com, both worked very well for me :cheers:
