I've had problems since about November '04 with my computer rebooting. I had
98se installed back then and it happens still with XP. I've tried two
different manufactures GeForce 2 MX 400 video cards. I've run MemTest and
passed. I have upgraded video drivers, sound drivers, mobo drivers, BIOS and
everything I can think of. Nothing is helping. My power supply is 400 watt.
My CPU, GPU and system stay cool enough. I can't figure anything out as to
what's causing problems. Neverwinter Nights v1.65 and Deus Ex (SB X-Gamer
Live! 5.1 OEM) seem to be the worst crashers. Within 15 minutes typically.
Unreal Tournament (also came with the X-Gamer) tends to last a bit longer
around 1-2 hours. While games like MDK2 (X-Gamer OEM) and Dungeon Siege v1.11
have caused no problems at all. With the exception of Dungeon Siege being a
little buggy at times, but not restarting a few exception errors and
application hang ups instead. Seems to be a Nvidia display driver/infinite
loop error which usually causes the restart problems.
System specs:
OS: Windows XP Home (previously 98se)
MB: Microstar Intl. KM2M Combo-L (VIA KM266-8235)
Hyperion 4in1 drivers installed
BIOS: Phoenix Award BIOS 6.00PG
Flash v1.51b from MSI tech support
PRCR: AMD Duron 1.6Ghz, MMX, 3dNow
Mem: PC133 128Mb x 2 (256Mb total)
AGP Video: eVGA GeForce 2 MX 400 32Mb DDR VRAM
Forceware v71.84 drivers
(Also tried same card by VisionTek w/64Mb VRAM)
PCI Slot 1: Empty
Slot 2: Creative Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 (X-Gamer)
Last updated drivers a month ago.
Slot 3: Lucent WinModem (drivers installed by WinXP)
I've read other posts on countless websites and nothing that has been
suggested has helped me yet.
