| 106557 | 2002-12-16 08:47:00 | I have this really annoying problem I can't fix. i've got a geForce4 mx440 video card that doesn't want to work. i previously had a mx420 card but the computer kept hanging or crashing (xp doesnt hang?? whatever!). I took it back to the shop to fix. They found out it was the drivers, they weren't the right ones but i used the drivers with the card and the newest ones from nvidia. They changed the drivers and i took it home but it still hung on me. I returned it again and they changed the drivers and said it was in working condition. I took it home again but this time it didnt hang. There was extreme flicking eg.. blank screens that last for about 1 sec appear, more often while on the net. I downloaded every nvidia driver there is and still it didnt work. Any driver after 30.82 did the flickering. While any before 30.82 crashed or failed to work after a while. I've changed the refresh rates for the monitor for every driver and still no solution . Can anyone out there help me at all ?? ps ... I've formatted my computer 4 times in 2 days . Still no solution . I'm running a p4 2.0 512 ram. |

| 106558 | 2002-12-16 08:51:00 | sorry forgot to say ... the third time i took it back i upgraded to the 440 card and still have the same problems. The drivers with the card itself also had the flickering . The drivers on the site also does the same. It's a EAGLE video card by the way (anyone heard of it ?? it's from China.) | dkbaj (1047) | ||

| 106560 | 2002-12-16 09:13:00 | try the 41.09 ones. the 30.82's had a few problem with certain apps. make sure you have the correct(or latest) motherboard drivers installed. also check you have the correct monitor driver. is the pc brand new? before installing any new nvidia driver just do a clean out of the old drivers. there are a few programs designed to clean out nvida drivers. then install the new ones. the reason for that is sometimes there is leftover from the old drivers which conflict with the new ones.

| 106561 | 2002-12-16 09:29:00 | I upgraded my motherboard 6 months ago... probally around the same time that the mx series were introduced. After I took my case back home I discovered that there was a sticker put on by the technician which says "Fully compatible with nvidia G4" I guess that not all motherboard can support that card, and maybe ur motherboard is one of those. Myself also hav a G4 mx420(MSI). I dont find any problems at all on my winXP PRO. |

| 106562 | 2002-12-16 12:14:00 | Thanks for the help everyone .. 1. Everytime I install a different driver I completely remove the previous one, so it can't be that. 2. My computer was purchased in July 3. My motherboard is a gigabyte GA-8SR533 series. Sis 645 chipset 4. I've tried all the drivers. 5. I've just noticed I haven't installed the SiS agp driver, SiS IDE driver and USB Driver. Does this matter?? When I first got the computer I didnt have any problems till about two months after. I think the problems came after I installed the 30.82 drivers. That's when it started to hang. Since then it doesnt work. Even after I got a new card ( mx440 ). Thanks dk.BAJ |

| 106563 | 2002-12-16 19:07:00 | Yes you should load the 'chipset drivers'. The motherboard chipsets are programmable, and at startup default to a basic mode of operation. By loading the chipset drivers, you not only improve the performance of the mobo, but in some cases, some devices won't be recognised / work properly. | wuppo (41) | ||
| 106564 | 2002-12-16 19:49:00 | just installed the agp drivers. Just gonna see if it solves everything. Also had a look in the logs. In the system log, everytime the screen goes blank there is a note in the log of the blanks. So is it a hardware problem?? |

| 106565 | 2002-12-16 20:21:00 | What would happen if your trying to run an AGP 4x card on an AGP 2x or 1x slot? I know that with my 440MX you can set it to use 4x, 2x or 1x. Could this be something here or is the card smart enough to limit itself or something? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 106566 | 2002-12-16 20:43:00 | AGP cards are really suseptable to loose connections, much more so than PCI cards. I found out the hard way! Make sure it is seated nice and firmly and that the clip (if there is one) is in place. I went through something like tis for months for I realised the problem. | crozier (2004) | ||
