My New Geforce 2 Mx200 Is Locking up at the desktop

**soulja** · April 20th, 2003, 01:05 AM

i just got my new video card today, its a Geforce 2 MX200 and i disabled my on-board video card and its loads the new geforce but after a few minutes on the desktop my computer keeps on locking up and i would have to take it out and run the old video card again. i did like 4 formats today trying to get this problem resolved and i was wondering what could be the other problem. i can't even get the video card to stay alive for a full game to install like Grand Theft Auto 3 Or Street Legal. anyone have any suggestions on what it could be thats frezzing my desktop with the video card, or am i spose to disable more things other than the on board video card ? please Help because i was real tired of the old card frezing in games and now im getting tired of the new one locking up. so its like i wasted $80.00

do you have fast writes disabled? have you given the PCI card an irq? some people over look that.

pci or agp Gefroce 2mx? If agp set to "agp" in bios as primary VGA device. Right now it sounds like its at pci and useing your internal video anyways. For sure your problem lies in the old video fighting with the new card.

I can't say for other boards but the ones I have worked on. Once you put an AGP card in its slot, the IGP or onboard video is disabled in the CMOS default-wise.PCI, you should go into the CMOS or BIOS and disable the video.

And post in the right area too PLEASE. This isnt cpu or oclock related. Its video- so put in the video card section. You already got a few responses. LOL I know.
