what is wrong with my new eVGA 7600GT?

wondchoi · 03-17-2007, 04:38 AM

I bought my new eVGA GeForce 7600GT video card around 3 weeks ago. Everything was all right in the first week when I used the Vista system, including running Gothic 3. A week later, I reinstalled XP Home system, instead of Vista Home. When I tried to run Gothic 3, the system was down and turned into the blue screen right before the game started and I did my first action. After I installed the newest driver from eVGA, the game run all right just for one time. Every time I run Gothic 3, the system was down and came to the blue screen. Does anybody know why?

For reference, here is my system info.
Dell Dimension E521:
AMD 64x2 3800+
1G RAM
160G SATA hard drive
305W Max PSU with +12V of 22A
eVGA Geforce 7600GT

well
1. Put your system in your Signature so every time you post people can see what you have
2. that is very odd. Normally graphics cards work bad (in most, not all, cases) so going back to XP and this happening is very very odd. IDK, this is a stumpper to me...

Did you get xp drivers to replace your vista drivers?

You installed a clean version of Xp right? If you haven't try start from a clean slate, as in uninstalling your previous driver.

Actually, when I used Vista system, the game was lagged, but you could still play. So, I went back to XP Home (SP2), it ran all right for one time without lag. But mostly, the system was down and came to the blue screen.

Additionally, thank you for your advice, I have put my system in my signature.

I did get the XP driver for 7600GT to replace the vista driver. It didn't work.

what do you mean "a clean version"? I uninstalled my previous driver for 7600GT and installed the new one, both with 7600GT in slate. Do you mean, I should try to uninstall the previous driver without my 7600GT in slate, and then put it back and install the new driver?

Uninstall the drivers you have right now, then go to the website of you maker of your card, get the latest driver from there and install that one. If it still does this it may not be the drivers after all. If you have already done this then spare your time and don't bother doing it again. (just give up the 411).

When I say "clean version" I mean installing XP on a formatted partition or hard drive, so you start from a clean slate. And I suggest you go to the nvidia website to get the latest drivers.
