[viper6497]

im trying to figure out what is wrong i have a pny geoforce 4 ti 4200 64mb it was working fine for over a year now any games just freeze for 10 sec at a time
i bought a vantec iceberq 4 pro copper fan and some copper heatsinks and epoxy'd them on the card but still have the same problem
i have the newest drivers for my gfx card and newest drivers for my mobo
can someone plz tell me what i can do to get this card to work?

not really sure about the geforce 4*** List your pc specs.. (side note: the powersupply may be dying so check that out with another psu)

my HD has bad sectors, it stutters but not in games. might want to check that too

ive tried some games with this older card NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400 and havent had any problem with games freezing so deffinately seems to be a problem with that card

do you recall anything that you did to your system before it became unstable?

 

[viper6497]

i haven't changed anything on my system it just stopped working all of a sudden
i will get this error message sometimes saying nv4_disp.dll the device driver got stuck in and infinite loop

windows tends to blame the display driver any time it crashes in a 3D app. Which driver version are you using? Maybe you should use the one from the windowsupdate site, so that they cannot complain about that anymore

What's a Geoforce4? Is that the new subcompact that's going to replace the Metro?

Google "nVidia infinite loop" and you should be enlightened.

This happens to me if i push the core clock speeds up too high, try underclocking it slightly if it's not already overclocked.

I had the same issue before and it was the power supply. It happened when I upgraded the ram which ended up putting too much of a load on the 5V line

that worked underclocking the card i had to underclock it alot but it works good now thanks
