I just bought a Leadtek GeForce FX5900 Ultra 256mb. I upgraded from a ti4200 which I never had a problem with. I had the ti4200 overclocked and it ran perfect. This is all with the latest drivers from nVidia.
I installed the new FX card and it loaded up perfectly. I then ran coolbits to OC. Well it froze a few game henchmark screens so I clocked it back to stock settings. It still froze games so I uninstalled the drivers and re-installed them. AND I still get frozen in all manner of games.. Mostly it will be about 5-10 minutes into the game. It isnt a heat issue as I have plenty of cooling and the most I have seen the card get up to is 46C (OCed).
Anyone else have this problem? This is ONLY in games and never freezes in any other program.
Please HELP.

Well, I lied... I just ran 3DMARK2001 a few times, and I saw the vid card temp reach 58C. This is still not very hot. But the system is still freezing after about 10 minutes of playing a game.

Like I said before, this exact setup ran perfectly for 6 months with the OCed ti4200. I put the new card in and this freezing crap happens.

Hey sorry about that, that was just someone on my computer goofing off. I'm really embarresed my face is red. It won't happen again. I just reported myself so it should be removed soon.

WOW,
that was a load of help..

anyway.. I sold the 5900 cause I couldnt get it to stop freezing..

TI4200 is back and running flawlessly @ 317/580 with 12,700 3DMARK01 score. Seeming how I was only getting 15,200 with the 5900 OCed @ 480/970.. I can eat the 2500 points difference and save $300+..
