I am having a XFX GeForce 6600GT 256MB DDR3 AGP 8X graphics card. I also have 1GB of DDR400 RAM on an INTEL Original 865GBF motherboard. Recently whenever I try to play any game the game starts and my machine freezes. It has become slower to. I had run Kaspersky updated version and it didn't find any virus.

Sometimes it even restarts and and gives genreic values for error reports, which basically says "the system has recovered from a serious error".

Firstly, I would like to know which is the right Forceware driver for my graphics card ?

Secondly, does the stock fan on the card does enough cooling and if not then where can get a cooling setup that does the job within budget of 1500/- ?

Does anybody have any idea of what is wrong with my PC ?

I need your help guys.

When I upgraded my card to a 5200 it has the same problem. The problem might be with an overloaded PSU or it may be with the RAM, check both (my RAM had to be changed). Moreover visit ur cards website for the drivers, which u will find easily. The stock cooling is enough for the card, however u can get a larger fan and heatsink for ur card. I dont know the price.

It looks like as a SMPS(PSU) related problem, try removing one RAm chip and then try , if you have extra HDD remove on, or remove any other CARD you are using, else if you can get try a friends PSu,

It dun seems at temp issue as the games are freezing as soon as it is launched. If it was temp related issue then it wud have occcured after some 10~30 min gamin.
Porbably its a PSU related issue, or memory.
Anyway, which game r u trying??Does it happens with many games?
Use Everest Ultimate and Sisoft Sandra and test each components.

If its a PSU related issue, then as shantanu_webmaster sugested, removing xtra components can solve it temporarly. Get urself a new 450 or 500W PSu of at least 1500~2000 bucks.
Im using forceware 93.71
