What would cause a 64mb GF3 Ti500 to lock up during 3DMark2001's high resolution tests. I've run each test separately and determined that the card freaks out (locks up and goes black, sometimes weird colors are displayed) when the high res car chase, dragothic and lobby tests start. Each of the other tests run smooth and produce some good FPS. The card originally came from a Compaq Presario. I'm using Nvidia 61.77 drivers, DirectX 9.0c, WinXP SP2. I've tried this card on three other computers with the same software setup...similar hardware configurations(2.8P4, 512 DDR pc2700). The freeze up occurs on each machine. The only game I've tried was MidnightClub2. It crashed as I started actually playing, not in the menus...
I hope I don't have to trash the card!! Thanks for your time!
