I have one problem, When i play 3d games after a period of time my system crash the screen goes black and i have to hard-reboot and i say "i shall never buy this card". Since 6 months I'm trying to fix this problem, I update everything, System Bios, Graphic Card Drivers (Version: 56.72 ReleaseDate: April 1, 2004) and Motherboard "INF" Drivers. If you have the same problem. I really fix one thing that i know, the IRQ sharing conflicts read this FAQ please http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_20011119_6325.htmlI notice that when I fix the IRQ the crashes has extended from 15 minutes to 45 minutes or 2 hours, the last thing could be overheating and if overheating is not your problem then this may result. Remember the card shall no share IRQs*. If anyone have more information or find any solution please tell here.

Anyone else hav trouble understanding that? -------------------- Asus P4P800S mb P4 2.4Ghz (800Mhz) 1Gb DDR 400Mhz Ram Asus Geforce FX 5600 128mb

If your machines crashing you need two programs memtest86 and prime95, post back once youve tested your machine Q-TEC 550 Watt PSU MSI VIA KT4AV-L 2800+ Barton 512 DDR333 GeForce Fx5200 128Mb Aero 7 Lite 80Gb Samsung ATA133 HDD 120Gb WD ATA100 HDD LiteOn LDW-851S LiteOn LTR-52246S

Could be defective memory FuRY

it could be temp related. try lowering fsb. it might help. peace

You using a MOBO with as VIA Chipset? IF so and heating is not your problem or power or memory then your board is the issue. Via chipsets do not get along well with any video cards. Mine would do the same thing where the screen would go black and you could not bring it out and had to hard reboot even Alt-Ctrl_del would not boot it. I got a new Intel based D865PERLL board and have had no problems whatsoever. The old board I had was a ECS L4VXA2 with a VIA chipset. I have the same video card you do and it is not the problem.
