  • drivers causeing win crash

    The other day I was playing UT 2K3 and my comp locked up. upon restart it has white blocks all over the Bios and XP splash screens. The only way i was able to get into window was in the safe mode. and it would just lock up till i uninstalled the Video drivers. when i tried to reinstall the drivers for the card the comp locked up again, so i reuninstalled them and now i am stuck with the windows default drivers and am un able to change any of the display setting as any changes lock the comp and force a reboot/unistall....any thoughts?

        It maybe but it's very hard to say as I've never experienced that. Have you been overclockin' the card? :?:

          who me?:rolleyes: yes it has been over clocked in the past but at the time of the crash it was running at default speeds.:cry:

          Could cool bits have anything to do with it? and if so what is the Reg entry that i would need to remove?

            I asked that because what ya seein' can be caused by memory that's been overclocked a bit far or is havin' a heat issue. ;)

              Are you referring to the Vid Card Ram? I thought it mightbe the sys ram and pulled the ram and replaced it with some pc2100 and was still having the same problem:cry:

                            geforce 4 4200 64mb failed would load windows run 3dmark2001se lock up at demo/benchmark (same with 3d games), tested all (put a geforce 2 mx in system (all works)

                            (tryed 4 operating system (98/ xp) same problem

                            (it hard to tell if you have a bad card) just run (in non clocked system) 3d mark2001se for 1 hour and if your video card crashes
                            change it.

                            getting my new card in a few days till then using a gefoce2mx
                            :devil win
