******URGENT*******

I moved my tower and stuff around tonight to get some more room for my second monitor. First 3 times i booted up it wouldn't go into XP so i went into 2K, that was fine. Rebooted, went into XP fine, then my Smart Doctor thing for my GeForce 2 popped up and said my video card wasn't getting the 3.3 voltage from the motherboard it needed. What is going on? My video card works, but what should i do, please reply asap because i don't want to fry anything.

I get rid of the software app telling you that things aren't working properly.
 
it just worried me, i have VIA Hardware Monitor and it says the 3.3 Value is at 3.49....the video card has been running for the past 10 to 15 minutes, i tried watching a video, worked fine. You think it's just the software?, btw the program came with the video card drivers.
 
Same thing happened to me with an ASUS V6800 Geforce 256 DDR pure on two BX boards (Soyo 6BA+IV and Abit BH6) a while back... John has got the fix.
 
i have the Asus GeForce 2 MX 400 (7100 series)

never had it do this, i just set up dual monitors w/ a Rage IIC PCI

that wouldn't affect it though would it? video card has been runnin maybe 20 minutes now, no problems


what about the problems i had starting up? what do u suppose that was?


i don't have a multimeter and i've been running this video card since i got the computer which i'm not even sure when that was, amdskip built it for me and i've added a few things and i installed all the software OS etc. i just thought it was strange that it all of a sudden did it now of course i just recently installed that smart doctor crap
 
If it just happened once, it could have been a software glitch, a bad connection on a "bumped" card. Who knows. If it keeps happening, borrow somebody's meter and go at it.

It seems all the sh!t happens when you move the damn thing. It may have simply been coincidence or maybe a voltage glitch if it became unplugged. I don't think I'd lose sleep over it. 🙂
 
well, i rebooted the computer, same thing, turned it off, took out the video card, got the dust off it, and put it back in and made sure it was seated good, same thing, if it burns up it burns up, good excuse to get a new one i guess, not much i'm gonna be able to do about it now

hopefully it's just that stupid software
