I have a GeForce2 MX. I recently began having problems with crashes during Soldier of Fortune and thought it might be a driver problem or something software related. I had the card o/c'd and stable for a few weeks @210 core and @190mem so I clocked it back to defaults. I aslo clocked my oc'd celery 700 back from 840 to 787 and finally to 700 with no results. Thinking it was only SOF causing problems, I re-installed it and nothing changed. I then clean installed windows, directx 8.0, via 4in1 drivers and detonator 6.49. It still crashed after a minute or so of gaming. I installed DET6.41 and nothing. I haven't seen any graphic anomalies and the card works during web browsing and non-intensive stuff. It does,however crash in UT as well. UT and SOF are the only 3d games I am running so I have nothing further to test the card with. Could my card be fried?

Thanks,

I had similar problems with Riva TNT. In my case it was not enough power for the card. Check what power supply You have. 100-150W is probably not enough.
