Unusual bugs

Litomaster · 2nd Sep 2007, 06:05 PM

Hello all, this is a tricky situation, tried many solutions, nothing worked yet, may be some1 here will help, thank you in advance!

Problem is that in Vista environment i cant play games, the crash after couple secs, sometimes goes up to couple mins, but usually bout 20 secs, the crash is screen turns off, game crashes as well i think as sound turns off as well after and after 10 mins or some pc restarts autamatically, windows suggests to contact nvidia for latest drivers etc

on the other hand in xp environtment games work etc, altho i cant surf! pc freezes after like 1 min of suring, doesnt matter on the browser ie firefox opera nothing, all freeze, the rest is fine can play etc.

Ideally i would like a solution to vista since i liked it, and new games come out for vista only(

System is:
CPU: AMD x64 duo core 5200+
Motherboard: M2V asus
Video: Nvidia 8800 GTS (640 some mg)
RAM: ocz 2 gig

its all the same no matter which version 64 or 86, tried in vista and xp variants

sry if chosen the thread wrong, just imho the prob is bad drivers for video

thx in advance!

(got here after reading this article http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.a...tno=391&pgno=1 ) not sure if its real or not)))) but anyways i spent time reading it)

163.44i htink

Maybe you should try the 162.22 WHQL drivers.

Make sure you delete the existing drivers and reboot without installing any Vista drivers before installing the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website. I had a similar problem with an 8600GT card last week and it seems the driver from the Microsoft Update website was causing the problem. Boot into Safe Mode to do the deletion of the drivers too.
Good luck!

If you are changing drivers, try use Drivercleaner (not sure the software works in Vista) prior to installing the another one.

Just tried with clean install, still nothing, keeps freezing

IMHO, a freshly-installed Windows Vista is buggy and unstable. Patch it up with all the latest updates.

As for your other problems... I would seriously think about viruses. Are you running any anti-virus software?

installing nod32 with spyware doctor once in a while to check up, usuallyy nothing or just some cookie thingy

PS, i use vista i made with vlite all updates onbaord, no drivers, easier to reinstall
