Alright, here goes...
I recently made the switch to WinXP Pro...as my 2K partition decided to take a dump on me after installing my new CD-RW.
That was about 3 weeks ago...for the past 1 1/2 week, XP has been crashing on me, with the GF2MX to blame (or thus saith XP). There are a few different versions of the problem...
- Display gets garbled when mouse moved over graphics, etc, and then will eventually become completely unreadable
- Computer will randomly freeze (usually when viewing graphics)
- Computer will reboot (same as above)
Here are my complete system specs...
- AMD T-Bird 1.4 GHz
- EPoX 8K7A+
- 256 MB PC2100 Crucial
- Elsa Gladiac GeForce2 MX
- SB Live! Value
- Pioneer 106s DVD-ROM
- TDK 32/10/40 CD-RW
- 3-Com 3C905B NIC
- MS IntelliMouse Explorer (USB)
- MS Natural Keyboard Pro (USB)
So far I've reinstalled the driver that XP gets; installed the nVidia reference driver, and installed the Elsa driver. All to no avail...same things keep happening. I'm really not sure what to do, short of a complete reinstall...which is something that I'm considering doing at this point. Any suggestions/help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks so much...
Display settings...1024x768, 32bit, 72Hz.
edit - problem does not occur in '98SE
