Did you tried another gfx card ? Check that. If prob not solved then
If your card is under warranty then replace that card.

^^
i dont have other gfx card and none of my frnds too got it nor they got gfx slot......wat 2 do.......??
any software that checks gfx card is working properly or not........??

pls reply

pls reply....................

For software - I'll suggest to run a 3D mark 2006 Benchmark & see what happens.
It will stress & put a heavy gpu intensive benchmark.
But I think replacing your card is the way to go.

 

[coolest111]

i got into many forums...............and came to a conclusion that the problem is faced by many users.......pls tell me that is my gpu is working( in xp)???(with the help of old drivers) i am able to play nfs most wanted,underground which i was not able to earlier(with the help of new drivers)..........

note:i am able to play nfs most wanted,underground frm onboard gpu too........
vista is in same state as earlier.......

^^ Install latest version of DirectX & see what happens.
Also Don't forget to install the latest game patches too.

 

[coolest111]

that is in vista card does not works at all properly for 30 mins even 4 net suffing(4get abt gaming,watching movie).....
in xp there is problem too but not usually i can play game 4 1 hour atleast(more than 1 hour causes same pics which i posted earlier).......

I think your card is getting over heated. Can you post the temps of your gfx card & processor card in these condition :

1. @ system startup ( I mean when you got into your os )
2. After 1 hour simple work.
3. After half or one hour heavy gaming
4. After 1 or two hour movie watching.

For all these download rivatuner :
*downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=163

Or Gpu-Z:
*www.techpowerup.com/gpuz

PLease post the temps in text format coz for some reason I'm not able to see the attached image , If I click on the link Iam only getting the link on the browser window.

 

[coolest111]

temperature are(frm xp coz vista cant run for 30 mins):-
gpu card
@ system startup ( I mean when I got into os ) = 49-50

After 1 hour simple work = 52-53

After half or one hour heavy gaming = 56-57

After 1 or two hour movie watching = 52-53


processor card
temperature here of core 0 and core 1 mostly remains the same or differ by 1 degree

@ system startup ( I mean when I got into os ) = 22

After 1 hour simple work = 24

After half or one hour heavy gaming = 28

After 1 or two hour movie watching = 23

Temps seems to be fine.

Try to replace your card.

 

[chandal_keta]

the problem is not with the rig , its with the drivers..download latest drivers for ur card..
this problem usually occurs while watching movies if there's a conflict

installing latest drivers will solve this issue..and do not install beta drivers , if any

and download drivers from nvidia.com

For vista 32-
*us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/175.16/175.16_geforce_winvista_32bit_english_whql.exe

For XP-
*us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/175.16/175.16_geforce_winxp_32bit_english_whql.exe

i agree with u.......

chandal

 

[coolest111]

i agree with u.......

chandal

already used these drivers and they were highly unstable..........

Temps seems to be fine.

Try to replace your card.

i wil try 2 get other card.....

 

[topgear]

Yeah, try that ASAP & post back the result with the replaced or other new or old gfx card.
I hope your problem will be solved.
