forced adapter update now Error: 0D : 0347 : 000181C

[Guest Bob]

I replaced a GeForce4 MX440 a Kaser FX5200 128 MB Nvidia graphic card.

It's box says

it has some nice Nview Multi-Display capabilities and "TV-out support

(NTSC/PAL) TV system". Will it support a decent flatscreen?

 

I keep System Monitor on and lately began seeing the system "ekg"

flatlining for about 10 seconds, then resuming for 10 seconds, and so

on. Also recently an occasional black screen on the monitor it shares

over a KVM switch it has shared for years. Monitor & switch probably

OK since they act normal with the XP system I'm building.

 

Now I'm seeing blue screens right after logging in, error: 0D :

0347 : 000181C. My googling turms up corrupt program instructions

(maybe due to bad opcodes and the like?). And these often come from

using wrong video drivers.. I tried forcing the Display applet to

switch from the GeForce 4 to a FX5200 and that was a fight. The system

says the drivers are unsigned. But it seems to resist changing the

adapter to plain old system VGA also/

 

Any suggestions on getting this old guy bavk to work?

 

 

This homebuilt is on a Gigabyte 7VT600P-RZC mob, 400 watt MGE

psu(should I get a bigger PSU?), 1 GB DDR RAM(Should I add 1 or 2 GB

RAM?). CPU is an Athlon XP 1066 MHz.

May I try this again. At 1 am I should know to get to bed,

 

My core problem is intermittent blackscreens becoming more frequent.

One symptom is very interesting - it runs fine is safe mode albeit low

res and 64 colors.

I suspect a probable intermittent malfunctioning video card - G4 MX440

Nvidia. Maybe overheating. It doesn't have a fan, just a fairly big

heatsink.

I have a new FX5200 I bought a year or so back. Unfortunately the

driver diskette has "dissappeared" but I have found

downloads.nvidia.com and downloaded some for win9x.

 

But am having problems getting the winME hardware manager to turn

loose the old and take up the new.

I thought I could bring it up in safemode, from the control panel

display applet replace the adapter.

But the system sees the drivers are not signed, and I have to click

the advanced button to change things.

 

If I restart in safemode the old drivers are still there.

I've tried a couple otherways, most recently changing the adapter to

standard vga hoping at least I can bring it up in normal mode and go

directly on the Internet as it is painful transferring drivers

otherwise.

 

and now I'm getting the blue screen 0D stuff.

 

Anybody know a fast inexpensive way to restore my old guy to perfect

health?

 

What is the approved

 

Maybe Nellie & I are opposites, especially at 1 AM.

Pardon my verbosity.
