Hi I have a gf4 mx440 + aopen ax6bc pro, 384 ram. and have been having problems with windows. My computer keeps locking up everytime i run anything using opengl or directx,
its quite strange this though, i can play a game once after bootup , but when i exit and start another or the same one it locks up entirely. I have tried about 30 different video drivers under xp to see if this overcomes the problem but alas to no avail. I have also tried installing win2k , but this is even worse as i have only found 1 video driver which win2k will boot when its running and its a beta driver.
I tried the video card in a different machine and it ran fine no lockups with latest nvidia drivers, i also ran with less memory , different memory and same problems. I tried a radeon 8500le , which crashed just the same if not more so.( ie crashed on bootup for a while). I have the latest bios flashes on all equipment and drivers i could find. This is extremely frustrating for me, any help would be greatly appreciated
