Hi! I am new here. I just upgraded my graphics card from a GF2 MX440 to a MSI GF4 Ti4200 VTD8x card and have a couple of questions. First, when I installed it, everything seemed fine until I smelt something burning. It persisted for a couple of minutes but my computer didn't freeze when I was testing the card out with graphic intensive games. But then my desktop froze on me. I opened it up and rechecked it it was firmly connected to the AGP slot and it was, I also tried to smell the burning to see where it was but couldn't. Rebooted her up again and everything seemed fine. The fan on the card functioned. Did I burn/damaged my VGA card? And when I click on display properties from my desktop and select my Vcard information is says it only has 32 mb SDRam, when this card is suppose to have 128 mb DDRam, is my card defective? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Here is my specs: Dell Dimension 8100, P4 1.3ghz, MSI GF4 Ti4200 VTD8x, 512mb RDRam pc800.
