Hi there,
Ever since I installed an extra graphics card, specifically the nVidia GeForce 6200, alongside an existing GeForce 8800GTX - the graphics output of my system would occasionally freeze.
When I use the term graphics output, I quite literally mean it. The entire system continues to function, I can even move my mouse around and do things with it without getting any visual feedback. It takes anywhere between 15 seconds to 2 minutes for it to unfreeze and everything I have done while it has been frozen comes into immediate view.
I'm usually pretty good at diagnosing issues like these, but this one has me stumped for a change. I can only assume the obvious, which is that it's an incompatibility issue between the two cards in some very vague respect. But as far as I was aware, the two cards should work with the same drivers?
I hope somebody can help. This is driving me up the wall
Specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
Corsair Dominator DDR2 800MHz RAM - 4 x 1GB
Gigabyte GA965P-DS3
Western Digital Raptor 74GB x 2 (RAID-0)
Western Digital Caviar 500GB x 1 (JBOD)
nVidia GeForce 8800GTX
nVidia GeForce 6200
