OK, so I put my old GeForce 2 in an old Pentium 2, 160 megs of ram, 266 mhz to use as an entertainment cd. it replaced a voodoo 3 card. I wanted the tv out capabilities. the computer has a 200 W power supply but it's a pretty barebones system with an old sound blaster card, a 17 gig hard drive, and a cd rom.
well, i did a fresh install of windows 2000, and it went nice and smooth. i booted up, and installed the new 41.09 drivers for the geforce. after i installed them, the screen now flickers every once in while. I thought maybe my power supply didn't have enough juice but how much more power does a geforce 2 need over a voodoo 3? also, i didn't get any flickering til AFTER I installed the new drivers. the only things i have on this pc are service pack 3, winamp, and tight vnc to remotely log into it. i want this to be a pc jukebox and load it up with mp3s and maybe to play roms on my tv
any ideas what the flickering could be? power supply or driver problem?
