HELP NEEDED!!!

[Guest]

Lately I've been having a problem with my video card. It's a Diamond MM Monster Fusion 16MB. When I boot up my machine I go through all the windows splash screens, but after I log-in my screen turns to a green/white mesh color, yet I restart my computer and it works fine. Then when I try to play Age of Empires 2 it just shuts off on me mid game, or I get this weird blue screen that says "Beginning Dump of Physical Memory" and then it restarts my computer! Please if anyone can help me it would be greatly apprciated.

TIA

i am not too sure if this is the problem, but have you scanned for viruses?
also, try updating all drivers including your motherboard.
but if you have a virus protection software, update it's virus list, and scan everything on your computer.

Well I'm running on Windows 2000 Pro. I have 192MB of SDRAM I believe (not sure about the SDRAM??). A Celeron 450MMX. I just put in a new motherboard, I'm not sure but I think it's an Intel 440BX/ZX AGPSet. I have a Diamond Monster Fusion 16MB, a Sound Blaster PCI 64/128. I haven't had a problem with the video card. I just replaced my other Cleron 333, and my VooDoo2 card, but since the upgrade I've had no problems. I do believe the problem is coming from the motherboard. BUT I have no clue on where to find drivers and the such to upgrade the performance of the board.

Thanks for the replies!

I've seen that problem before with that card, I think you can rule out the motherboard. I do not beleive that that card is compatable with higher versions of direct x. Also, if I recall correctly there was a bios upgrade for the card as well. I hate to say this but it looks like it is time to get a new card.

Video editing?? Ha, I don't even own a camera!
