Hi, posted this in the tech support but got asked to move it here, basically my system has stopped running 3d games. It crashes with a black screen when after I've loaded the game. If I try to run full screen tests in DXDiag it also crashes but with a DXDiag.exe title bar at the top of a blank screen.

I have tried updating all the drivers, and reinstalling both windows XP and 2000s. About the only thing I haven't tried is flashing the BIOS, which I'm still a little scared of.

The system a couple of years old, a 1200 Athlon XP and GeForce4 Ti 4200, but I could run these games a couple of months ago fine. About the only thing that's really changed that I can think of, is the fact I have been infected with a couple of viruses and various spyware recently. I think they are under control now though, and the Windows reformat should have helped that problem too.

Any thoughts obviously much appreciated...thanks in advance!

Either try your card in another comptuer, or try another card in your computer to eliminate the possibility of it being your graphics card.
