tristan777 0 Posted August 25, 2001 grrr... this will b the 2nd time i've typed this message. power flickered and i lost it all... anyway, i've got a strange problem in winxp that happens whenever i try to play a game with my vid card overclocked AT ALL. the screen will go black and colored lines will flash accross it all over the place. this does NOT happen though when running benchies such as 3dmark, etc. also i never had this problem in winme/98 b4. i thought it might be a driver issue, so i tried switching drivers, and reinstalling current drivers, but neither worked. so im wondering if any of you have a solution, or if anyone else has this same sort of problem at least... the problem occurs if the geforce is overclocked at all really in games, but i can get it decently high in benchies no probs. (done about 245/465 stable) anyway, here's my specs: Tbird800@963MHz (107x9) Asus A7V rev. 1.02, bios 1003 modified w/ newer ATA100 bios. 512megs OCZ PC150cas2 @ 143 MHz or so 2-2-2. 30 gig WD 7200 rpm ata100 drive... i've got a 23 gig partition and the rest i left unpartitioned in case i wanna put another os on it later. Leadtek Enhanced Geforce2Pro sb live! value lucent winmodem Dlink pci nic, cant remember name. that's about it i think. o yea, i'm running xp rc2 and i've tried a few different dets. 14.40, 12.90, and 14.20 or 14.10. whichever 1 is the win2k one. cant remember. it happens with them all though. thx for any ideas... heh on a side note i was suprised i remembered my nick for this board. it's prolly been 8 months to a year since i last posted here. i havent ran win2k in a looooong time. 1 more thing. b4 anyone says i need better cooling, let me just say that i've got 4 80mm case fans. 2 on side, 1 in front, 1 in back. i've got a globalwin fa420 on my gf2pro w/ a 40mm fan on that. i've got a 40mm fan off an old 486 cooler on my northbridge, and i've got 2 60mm fans stacked on a FOP32 on my Tbird. i used arctic silver epoxy on the geforce w/ a little AS2 mixed in incase i ever wanna get it off. i used Arctic Silver II on my tbird HSF.

Brian Frank 0 Posted August 25, 2001 What program are you using to OC the card? You may want to download the newest version. I prefer NVMax, but a few people like PowerStrip. Share this post Link to post
tristan777 0 Posted August 25, 2001 i use nvmax. actually i post news and moderate the forum at nvmax.com as well. i dont like powerstrip, because u gotta have it running to keep the overclocking settings i believe... since it goes through hardware rather than drivers. Share this post Link to post
