This card has worked well for me for nearly a year. Now it
is giving me fits. It started out with artifacts showing up
in Call Of Duty and lockups during the game. Updated
drivers and tha helped some, but COD was so bad that I
stopped playing it on that PC. Other games play well on it.
In the last two days, almost any visit to the internet using
Exploder results in artifacts, freezing up, and a reboot.
After the reboot, the Windows error reporting says I may
need a new driver. Go to Nvidia, and there is a new driver.
Install and the problem acutall seems worse. Went way
back to 45.03 and still have problem. Not so bad if all
acceleration is turned off...that is it goes longer without
crashing. Tried Mozilla also, thinking Exploder was causing
a problem...same result.
I would suspect the card, but I also run Linux Mandrake 9.2
on the machine and it is solid. No problem at all. Not
sure which drivers. I did have to replace the PS about
three weeks ago, going from 350W to 450W. But the artifacts
started before the PS replacement. and continued after.
The reboots started about three weeks after the PS
replacement. BTW, seems okay in VGA mode.
Ideas? Thanks in advance.
