ok... since i put in my new FX 5200, my comp has been unstable. It locks up for a few seconds at a time, or the moniter goes into sleep mode. My friend told me that it has something to do with the AGPOP.sys file in the system32 folder, and that i should delete it, uninstall the card, shutdown, install the card, reboot and it will rewite the file. THe problem is i cant find the file, if someone can give me instructions on how to fix this, or provide me with alternate means, plz tell me. It would be much appreciated

What drivers are you using? the ones that came with the card? Don't.

Goto Nvidia.com and download the latest drivers.

Some people are like Slinkies™, not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs...

i did that when i got the comp... so i know thats not the problem

You haven't updated the drivers since your last card??? you just plugged in a new card and hoped the drivers would work???

DUDE, goto Nvidia.com and download the latest drivers!!

um... this comp is brand new, the only card thats ever been in it is the FX... and ive got the newest drivers. Thats what i was trying to say

Try uninstalling the driver and reinstall it. Have you had this problem since you installed the new driver? If so, go to an older driver.

Get the Nvidia 44.03 drivers, the new ones from 53.03 and above are utter s---e, 44.03 ones are the best ones made so far imo.

New nVidia 56.74 drivers were released yesterday(April 1st). Use those. 53.03 worked great on my Fx5900 but I've heard that its not good for Fx5200. 53.03 drivers are also cheating drivers for 3dmark03.

Seems to perform better in Ut2k4 and the drivers fix some problems in Farcry(Water Texture, etc.) You can try and see how it works for you.

Unreal, the 53.03 and 56.74 are terrible for my fx5200, i went through 4 sets of different nvidia drivers before i found the best pair, the 44.03's worked best, they gave me excellent frame rates in CoD compared to all the other drivers.

CoD ran much better with 56.74 and my Fx5900 SE. I've took a look at eVGA's site and it said that the 5x.xx drivers were not good/compatible for Fx5200/Fx5200U, maybe thats why. (eVGA uses reference nVidia drivers.)

Nope, I have the MSI GeForce FX5200 and it runs fine.

I recently purchased a new Motherboard which had 8X AGP on. The performance of the card rose considerably. No heat problems too.

You MUST have a manurfacturers waranty on the card right? BUT you have tried to glue a fan onto it lol so they may not refund you/ repair it.

Is it true that the 44.03 drivers are the best for fx 5200?

i Have a problem whit my FX 5200 card !! when i try to play NFS7 or any other 3d game the system just crashes!! I am usin 44.03 driver and the same thing happened !! what i have to do to fix this !?

sigh* i have the same problem. random "crashes" when playing 3D games (my monitor clicks, turns black, light blinks, sound goes off, computer still up and running). i have to hard-reboot to get things back up, then everything is peachy until i start to play a game.

DL'd latest drivers for every lil thing i could get drivers on and if i could drivers on my fans i probably would have tried doing that too. everything is brand new.

>> someone help! i just bought these parts dammit. if anyone finds a solution pls POST IT.

i really dont want to trash the graphics card. help.

thx a bunch kids

hey - yeah I have the same kind of problems as above with my fx5200. however, it only started happening the other day. i had made no changes to my computer whatsoever, and i havent installed any drivers or programs for a while.

I downloaded the latest drivers from nVidia and still no change. I think drivers should be ruled out of this problem - any other ideas? how about stable settings in bios? ..or something :S
