543133 2007-04-22 04:15:00 I believe my GeForce MX480EL 64MB is causing my pc to reboot on startup. It will only run if the hardware acceleration slider is set to zero. It has been running at full acceleration. The screen also freezes at times. I have reinstalled the latest drivers and have been running Dirextx 9C. Any ideas?? I have a ASRock K7S41GX m/b with Sempron 2400 processor . Windows Xp Pro. ROB21 (9571)
543134 2007-04-22 21:18:00 Take the side of the case off and see if the machine restarts then. Could be a heat issue with the card....

Just as an aside to the post... I had no idea there was MX 480 card.

Googling now.....

cheers

543135 2007-04-25 04:37:00 Albatron MX480EL.

I have also found that if I go to Windows Control Panel the icons for NVIDIA Control Panel and Desktop Manager are present but neither will load.

I turned off my anti-virus and reloaded the drivers but still the same problems.

543136 2007-04-25 05:00:00 So you've got a Asrock K7S41GX (www.asrock.com)

Doesnt this have an onboard videocard?

If u installed the Albatron, did u uninstall the onboard videocard drivers, if u installed them?
