Geforce 4 Ti4200 HELP!!!

[Therapist928]

Hey all,

I just got my new Gainward Geforce4 Ti4200 from Newegg. It's the one with support for just one CRT, no VIVO or TV out. Anyway, I installed the card and got the latest drivers from Nvidia (v28.32). Windows and surfing is fine but on every 3D intensive game i run (max payne, medal of honor, tony hawk 3) the game runs for about 2 seconds and then locks up, making a high pitched, constant beeping sound. All these games worked fine with my old tnt2 ultra. Tried reseating the card, removing and reinstalling drivers, using gainward's drivers. The card is running at stock levels and is not overclocked.

I'm running Win2k Professional with 1800+ AMD@1533 Mhz, Epox 8k7a, 256 pc2100 crucial ram, 60 GB, 7200 RPM barracuda HD, and 32x Lite On burner, with a 400w PSU with 19" Samsung 955Df.

Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated. Just don't really want to RMA this thing, i've been waiting for it forever.

Thanks

The card makes a beeping sound?

Are you overclocking your processor? Check the temps on your motherboard.

Sorry. The beeping sound comes from the sound card - when i turn down the speakers, it goes away. The processor is not overclocked. The mother board is at sub 50 degrees C.

However, I thought heating might be an issue for the video card. I put a huge 22" fan right next to the computer with the case off. Now, instead of locking up during 3d games, the computer simply restarts.

Could this be a voltage issue?

Thanks again
