I hope someone can help before I drop $400.00 on a Geforce 4.
I have a system with the following specs:
P4B-266C
1.6a @ 2.4 stock cooling
pc2700 RAM
Jaton Geforce 3 (original)
Sound blaster audigy 5.1 w/firewire
Maxtor 7200 rpm 40 gb
3com 10/100 nic
Antec truepower 480 watt PS
2 case fans, 2 in the PS and 1 blue orb on the video card
I have been having some video related problems recently which I cant figure out. I was running Windows XP pro and have since switched back to 2k pro.
Problems when I had Win XP installed:
Only Return to Castle Wolfenstein would run. When trying to play any other game or any graphical benchmark, the program will automatically minimize itself and sit in the taskbar. When I click on the taskbar to maximize the screen goes black for a second and then returns to the desktop and sits in the taskbar. But Castle Wolfenstein runs perfectly. When trying to run 3dmark it would crash right away, when trying to run pcmark, it would make it past the first part of the test which is the cpu test then it would crash on the graphical test.
Prime 95 runs for 12+hours stable CPU temp was 52 C after 12 hours, idle is 40C
Problems now Im back to Win 2k pro:
All games and benchmarks now run. Tried installing NVMAX, I double click on the exe file, nothing happens. The hardrive makes a few noises then nothing at all??? I was able to overclock this video card with coolbits to 225/525. After overclocking the video card, I scored a measly 7000 points in 3dmark 2001se. I had the same video card in my other system, AMD 1700+ and I used to score 8000+ on 3dmark.
Does this look like the video card cant handle the 150 fsb? Anybody have any ideas? Im stumped.
Thanks in advance.
