My friend is bringing his pc over complaining about his display problem so I first looked at it.

Display on monitor looked fine to me but it has switched itself to 8 bit and then back to 32 bits every few minutes so I decided to uninstall nvidia display driver but when tried to change it to basic AGP Graphic Adaptor but somehow it isn't there anymore. So I decided to forget it and rebooted the computer. This time, the graphic card driver isn't there and no nvidia advanced settings but 16bit and 32bit can still be selected there even when there's no driver attached with no name!

With or without driver, it is still switching between 8 bits and 32 bit randomly from time to time.

I suspect there is something wrong with Windows XP in it as there's no basic graphic driver which you can fall back when uninstalling nvidia driver.

Does not made a different when i use one of my graphic card with proper driver installed.

Anyone had it before?

It didn't matter anyway after having used 2 graphic cards, it still showed the same problem.

However, it's ok now after a fresh install of Windows XP, so it seems like windows system files might have been corrupted especially for graphic card.
