Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 When I turned the PC on today NVidia wasnt running at all, I am downloading the latest driver and will reinstall. I have read that the SP2 install has had some compatibility issues, or in my case it may have corrupted the drivers. Worse case is the video card is kaput.

Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 I reinstalled the driver but the graphic were still unstable. So now I am doing the XP install, we'll see how that goes. P.I.T.A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 OK setup an XP drive and it still locked up, although I have to check to see if it was windows blocking the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Were you getting spikes on the monitor when it messed up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 the monitor started glitching so I switched to another Graphics card. It was too slow so I bought a cheap 9800 gt which has 1gb of ddr3 its not super fast but its ok for now and I can use vista again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
