    Best Drivers for Geforce 4 Ti4200

    Ok it seems the 61.77 drivers are a mess when used with a Geforce 4 Ti. Which drivers are regarded as the best for the card. I have heard that the 44.03 release works best with this card. If I install these instead of the latest will performance drop for this card in Doom 3?

    Geforce 4 Ti Glitching problems

    I recently got a PNY Geforce 4 Ti 4200 off eBay but it appears that it is broken. The card itself looks ok physically nothing is broken or bent on the card. When its installed into the machine in my sig it does not work correctly with either new or older drivers. I get red, blue and yellow...

    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Error

    The PCI/AGP slot setup is this: AGP: Geforce fx PCI 1: empty PCI 2: system fan (screws into slot, no pci connection) PCI 3: empty PCI 4: soundcard PCI 5: modem It may be a possibility that the last PCI slot shares the same IRQ as the AGP as I get this error when connected with the modem. I...

    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Error

    The Interrupt request (IRQ) view in Device Manager also shows that the following hardware is all sharing (PCI) 11: >Creative SB Live! series >NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 >Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller >Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller >SupraExpress 56i PRO Could this cause the error as...

    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Error

    Memory has been changed around in the slots and tested in MemTest-86 (seemed to pass OK).

    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Error

    I seem to be getting this error quite randomly, the computer works fine at all other times then the BSOD will occur and I will then have to hard-reset the computer. IRQs seem to be shared when I look in the Device manager. The machine spec/setup is as follows: AMD Athlon XP 2400+ nVidia nForce...

    Pathetic 3Dmark2001SE scores

    The FX series just seem to be totally underpowered compared to ATI solutions for the mid-to-low end. I think I may wait until some more dx9 games come out before getting a new card, none of the nvidia cards seem to be doing very good at the moment and ATI seem to be churning out cards like no...

    Pathetic 3Dmark2001SE scores

    Its a 128 bit one and its a gainward which are supposed to be good quality. What card would be a good replacement, I would have about £150-200 to spend on a new one.

    Pathetic 3Dmark2001SE scores

    I can only get about 4023 using the spec below (see sig.) when running with standard settings (1024*768 32-bit colour), I am using the latest Detenators with v-sync off and no AA. I could get a score that was quite similar (3000+) with my Geforce 2mx, is the GeforceFX 5200 really this bad!

    ntoskrnl.exe BSOD

    I get the same BSODs like IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and KMode exceptions in both O/Ses, I have re-installed both O/S many times with diffrent configurations and diffrent Service packs, drivers and the like. After all that I think that it has got to be something hardware related to still get the...

    ntoskrnl.exe BSOD

    I have also tried win98 on the machine, same BSODs. If its software then I have no idea what could be causing it, I have updated every driver for the hardware in the machine but no luck at all.

    ntoskrnl.exe BSOD

    I shall try to get some diffrent RAM or move the existing stick around. Also the machine just randomly reset without a BSOD. I seriously think it must be a hardware error now as there seems to be no other obvious problem and the BSODs never seem to be the same. The problem is most of the...

    ntoskrnl.exe BSOD

    I have ran memtest86 for two tests and it passed both times. So it doesn't seem to be memory either then, or is there any other tests that I can run?

    ntoskrnl.exe BSOD

    I have had diffrent BSODs but I (stupidly) didn't note them down then as the computer resets unless you uncheck the box in the system properties :). I have one block of 256mb DRR 333 cheapo ram, I shall check it and see.

    ntoskrnl.exe BSOD

    Here is a nice BSOD that I can't find any information on: STOP: 0x000000A (0xE13AA088, 0X00000002, 0x00000000, 0x80462733) IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR _EQUAL Address 90462733 base at 80400000, Datestamp 3ee6c002 - ntoskrnl.exe Right after much fiddling around to due to these damn BSODs I think I have...
