Hi,

I have an P3 1000mhz, Riva NVidia TNT2 etc, SB128-2, Chaintech motherboard, 20 GB HD with IDE, the 2 cd-roms and HD are UDMA.

My problem is that my graphic card won't work properly with 3d graphics. Every time i start a game which uses 3d acceleration, the computer crashes and i can reboot. I have updated my drivers butt by doing that the computer crashes already if i watch an .avi file and the sound is being funny. So i kept using my older drivers. I have Direct X 8.0a. I have shut down the DMA of the CDroms and HD but that didn't help. The games i tried where : MotorMaddnes 2 and MotoCross 2 and soldier of fortune. with all games the computer crashes when i choose for 3d acceleration, if i choose for software rendering by motormaddnes 2 the game plays without crashing.

I have tried a lot of things butt i can't solve my problem.
Can someone help me ?

not sure what exactly your problem is, but i would start by uninstalling your drivers if you can, then removing your card from device manager and rebooting your pc and let windows reconfig everything. im not sure if you did that already or not, but it sounds like its a configuration problem somewhere with your drivers.

Hi,

I did replace the drivers several times with other drivers butt i never have deleted the graphic card from the device manager, i will try that.

The whole computer is new, the computer was assembled a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks for your advise,

Hi,

I did delete the graphic card from the device manager and after a reboot i chose the graphic drivers for the card. And after a second reboot i tried to play the games with 3d acceleration but the computer crashed again on the same moments.

What can i also try to fix my problem ?
