Hello;
I changed from an Asylum Geforce 4200ti 128M AGP8X
to a MSI NX6600GT-VTD128 AGP8X and got random
bluescreen errors in WinXP that said:
DEVICE DRIVER GOT STUCK IN AN INFINITE LOOP
DEVICE ITSELF OR DEVICE DRIVER IS PROGRAMMING THE
HARDWARE INCORRECTLY. I have no such trouble with
the old video card and I tried several different
versions of the NVIDIA drivers with the very same
hang. This problem only happens with hardware
D3D pipeline rendering, whatever that means.
I very much suspect the card to be defective from
the start so I sent it back for replacement and
am waiting for that to happen.
Went back to the old card and no hangs.
If I used software rendering instead of hardware
everything worked fine but only 2/3 as fast.
anyone else have such a problem ?
The machine I am using is:
Gigabyte Motherboard 8s648fx-L
Intel P4 3GHz
MT 1G Ram DDR 400 PC3200 cl=3 2.6V
BIOS voltage for DRAM set to NORMAL
Latest Nvidia drivers
System passes memtest86v3.2 just fine
Does anyone of know of a utility to
thoroughly test video ram ?
I think a ramtest for video cards would be a great help in screening.
