| 360091 | 2005-05-31 21:59:00 | I have a problem in my Windows XP Pro Machine that I have narrowed down to a 'Trident Video Accelerator Blade 3D/Promedia' graphics card...??? Every 15 minutes or so, when this video thingy is switched on and active I get a serious crash. Not just your average everyday 'Blue screen of death' but a serious XP error, the one you can't just 'Ctrl-alt-delete' out of. When I go into Device manager and switch this thing off I don't seem to have any problems. The difficulty comes when it reactivates it when my wife is using it...lmao...then crashes half way through her letter....lmao Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do to either permanently deactivate this thing or install it correctly so it doesn't cause problems. This is a home built machine that was given to me with win 95 on with a 2 gig hard drive and this graphics card. I threw in a 10 gig hard drive out of my daughters old machine and installed a fully licenced XP Pro Opperating system, (it's great being a teacher), and got this machine running well. 750 mhz with 256mb ram. HELP ANYONE.....suggestions greatly appreciated. |
