Hi, the other day I swapped out my 256mb geforce 8500gt for a 512mb geforce 8600 gt. I downloaded and installed the most recent drivers from nvidias website. the problem is that when i play games, sometimes the screen flashes black, the game becomes super choppy and then my pc just completely freezes. A few times i was able to see a little error message in the system tray (a small yellow triangle with a ! in the middle) saying something about a video device failed or something. Is there anything i should do?? please help!
|||it could be faulty? so a return may be necessary?
does your motherboard support that card?
do you have the latest direct x and have you run a diagnostics?
did you insert the card in the proper slot?
did you download the correct drivers?
is the card plugged in properly or is the wire loose? wrong socket on mobo?
is it PCI or PCIe?
does your motherboard handle both PCI and PCIe?|||You should probably go to http://www.nvidia.com/object/hardware_support.html and try the support given on that site.|||regarding nvidia, the latest driver is not always the best driver to use. use your old driver instead. i have a 8800gtx for quite some time now. and i have reformatted my unit many times now - i just love reformatting. anyway, every time i use a new driver, something always breaks my windows installation. so stick with the old driver/ software.
another thing, you may want to have your cpu regularly vacuumed or cleaned, bec accumulated dusts can cause overheating of you graphic card. the thing with a higher memory video card is that it is prone to overheating, which means that you need to turn its fan to always on. i did this, by installing rivatuner to configure the fan of my nvidia card to always run at 100% at startup. another bad thing about a higher memory card is that, the higher the memory, the more electricity it consumes. that's why it overheats.|||nvidias graphics drivers not updated
