Hello, I'm having some strange problems with my graphic adapter, to put it short any application that uses 3d acceleration works for a short time then freezes..
A short history about the problem:
- had a Galaxy g4 mx 440 all worked fine
- had a Daytona g4 4200 wich broke (while I had this card I experienced rare short freazes from wich World of Warcraft came back, probably not related to my current problem, other 3d aplications worked fine, after installing it windows was formated)
- installed a Leadtek WinFast A170 DDR after 4200 broke and just reinstalled nvidias latest drivers, leaving windows unchanged
- all worked well for a while
- installed the graphic drivers provided by leadtek wich had amasing performance, and for a while all worked fine
After a while though I began to experience serious freazes, even games like Half Life (the first) froze after a short time of play, basicly any application using direct 3d or open GL froze, no matter how old or less demanding, chageing drivers only led to non permanent freazes , or less often ones but they still occur, I tried a wide range of drivers from almost the oldest detonators supporting mx440 to the latest forceweare drivers...
What is there to do, should I try a windows format? Is this card about to brake too? Does my motherboard brake cards?
My system:
AMD Sempron 2300+
Asus kt880 chipset motherboard
2 X 256 kingmax ddr 400 ram
segate serial ata 80 gb baracuda hdd
Windows XP sp2
