Here is a good description of the problem I found elsewhere: If it helps in anyway, I am running AMD Athlon 2400, WinXP Home, 512RAM. I've had people advising me to update the BIOS (yet I am not confident enough to do this) I have used many different versions of drivers and none make a difference. I can say that I have uninstalled the drivers in may different ways, and reinstalled them. I would like to add to this thread if that is OK as I am having the same problem yet I have a different set-up. PM me if you need to troubleshoot further.
Te video card could be bad, try and test it in a known good PC. If not and the temps are 65c or below then, like I said, you have another problem.
If it is then you may have a bigger problem than corrupted files.Ħ. Your display shouldn't be flickering or going black now as there are no drivers, except the basic MS VGA driver, installed. Clean a couple of times then run the cab cleaner under tools. Restart the PC and then run drivercleanerpro. Reinstall it and make sure it is well seated.ĥ. Go to Windows add/remove programs and remove the Nvidia display driver. Theoretically the latest driver works with all card but use one that ran solid for a long time on your machine.ģ. Make sure you have downloaded a display driver that you are sure will work with your 5200. Read the short instructions and run it after you remove the Nview driver (don't run it yet).Ģ. It is a small, free utility that cleans out all the leftovers you have when you change Nvidia drivers. Ideally you'd want cooler temps but these are usable. If the temp is 60c-65c or below you're OK. It is a PSU/heat problem I think, but I am not much of a tech.Ĭheck the temps on your nvidia utility. If everything is fine and then after sometime it goes bad that doesn't sound like a software problem. A good upgrade for the 2350 because that P4 1.8 is way underpowered and very upgradable. If you have alot of stuff in it even 250 may not be enough.Ĭompusa has a 400 watt power supply for $10 with a $30 rebate. I had the 5200 pci in a compaq with 250 watt power supply and it would still flake out by rebooting once in a while.Įverything you put in your machine uses watts up. You need a minimum of 250 watts on the specs for a geforce 4000 and up.
If everything is fine until the machine heats up the it may be the PSU. You can have a great one here if you up the PSU and video. and a P4 on the Mobo, but Dell gives it a 250watt PSU out the door. The Dimension 4600 for example if you look at the specs is so underpowered it is really sad.
