Computing.Net Participants, I would like to install the latest drivers for my nVidia GeForce FX5950 Ultra 256MB graphics card, since it appears that this card causes numerous freezes and crashes. I say this because when I replaced the 5950 with an old 64MB card, the freezing and crashing stopped. One of the first messages I was getting with the 5950 was something to the effect "Graphics card receiving insufficient power...." After the company supposedly fixed the problem, I no longer get this message. But the computer still froze and crashed. I have downloaded the latest drivers from the nVidia site. I am a novice so I have 2 questions at this point: #1--Do I first uninstall the old drivers before installing the new? #2--Does the FX5950 have to be connected to the computer during the install? Thanks in advance for any help. Ooc5477@aol.com

Yes you're AGP card should be connected during the installation. Yes you should remove previous drivers before the installation of a new card. You may have and underpowered power supply for that card. It's possible that the +12v rail is too low for that paticular card.
