GEForce 6200
I bought a GEforce 6200 card about 2 months ago for my Dimension 3000 and it seems to work pretty well. However, I actually bought so I could play Oblivion IV and I've actually had a problem with locking up. I play the game for a period of time (anywhere from 10 to 45 minutes) and I suddenly get caught in an infinite loop which causes the blue screen to appear and the computer performs a physical memory dump before shutting down. I can't figure out why it's doing this, though it only happens with Oblivion. I've reduced the graphics to very low (which you can do after upgrading the game) and it still does it. Someone suggested the computer was over heating but my core temp never goes much above 50C (about 110F). I'm not sure why this is happening but anyone has run into a similar problem, could you let me know? I'm frustrated because I love playing the game, when I can, but I'm curious as to whether this is caused by my computer, the card, or the game. Oh yeah, the blue screen tells me its a problem with the file nvid4_disp (or someting like that). I've updated the drivers but no luck.
