need some help with drivers issues and Direct X. I have a Gainward GeForce 2 Ti/500 Gold VIVO card (the one recommended by Anand last month in the Nvidia card roundup) running on a brand new system and Windows XP. Everytime the system tries to use direct draw it screws up the screen and then after 30 sec or so the system restarts and Windows makes that error reporting to to Microsoft. Each time I check the details and it says it was a video driver issue in the NV4_disp.dll. I have tired 4 different drivers for this card (the one from MSFT, the one on the CD, the newest on Gainward's web site and the Detonator series 28.32) I get the same problem each time. This happens when I run a game or just test the direct draw and direct 3d in DX diagnostic program. Anyone out there have any clues on why this is a problem.
System build is a follows
AMD XP1800
EPOX 8kha+ MB
256MB crucial ram
WIN XP home edition OEM
WD 40GB hard drive 7200 rpm
Gainward GeFroce 2 Ti/500 Gold edition board not running overclocked
Linksys 10/100 NIC
SB Audigy sound card
Plextor 24x10x40 CDRW
Toshiba 12X DVD
3 case fans (heat is not a problem, highest I have seen so far is 45 deg C on the processor and 30 deg C in the case)
Any and all help is appreciated. This is really kicking my ....
