Problems with PNY GF4 Ti4600

[Guest_imported]

Just got PNY GF4 Ti4600. The card crashes and/or freezes all my game applications at all times. Loaded latest drivers, no result. Updated motherboard drivers, no result.
It also crashes some of my none-game applications.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

My system is as follows:

Asus A7V333 motherboard
AMD 1.7 XP
Samsung PC 2700 512MB memory

There are some ideas:

1.
Check your new videocard for overheating. How the airflow is organized inside your computer's case? The air must to be sucked in the front bottom part of case, going through the case cooling the hard disk drive, motherboard logic, expansion cards include video, cpu under heatsink and fan and finally flow out through power supply in the rear top part. If your videocard is extremely hot, you can install the additional coolers in your system - one for air entering and one for air leaving your system. The blower near videocard is also may be used.

- documents Builders Guide for Desktop/Tower Systems and AMD Thermal, Mechanical, and Chassis Cooling Design Guide.

2.
What power supply do you use? It must to be t least 300 w. Try to replace and see what happend.

Thanks for ideas.
Cooling is exactly as suggested and the power supply is 350watts.
I isolated the video card from any expansion PCI cards for better cooling. I even, removed all PCI cards for possible conflicts. The system still crashes.

I think that my board (A7V333 with VIA KT333) is simply not compatible with the nVidea GF4 Ti4600.

I think the A7V333 is a good motherboard.
And what videocard do you have before Ti4600 installing?
There was any problems?
May be possible to replace Ti4600 with tested one?

I'd try loading BIOS defaults (after noting the settings you're running now) and see if it does the same...if it does, I'd suspect the card...
You don't say what OS, but if XP: have you run dxdiag at Start/Run?
You mention updating the motherboard drivers...newest 4 in 1?
In my experience, many are running other BRANDS of GeForce4
cards with this mobo very well.
For the systems I've set up (I've admittedly used XP on all of them) if dxdiag is successful...all is well.
As an aside...some people have had success removing the video drivers and installing them in safe mode...(especially PNY)
