Hey,


I recently purchased a 220 GT (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162040&cm_re=nvidia_220_gt-_-14-162-040-_-Product specifically) and I've been getting random bouts of BSOD errors on startup. Sometimes my computer starts up successfully while other times I'm faced with an nv4_disp error.

I called up the tech support of Galaxy Technology and they told me to upgrade my power supply to 400w. I bought and installed a 430w power supply. The card worked great for a while but this morning I was faced with another BSOD nv4_disp error. I have a feeling that this could be driver related, but I have installed the most current drivers for the 220gt.

I called back the tech support and they now told me I had to have a 450w minimum despite it saying on every website saying that the 220 GT had a 300w minimum.

Help would be appreciated,

Specs:
Windows XP 32bit
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4600 @ 2.40GHz
2.0 GB RAM
(I know it's terrible, but I will be upgrading in the near future)
