Yeah, it's an old crap card, but I'd like to get some use out of it. Right now, it's pretty much useless for any sort of gaming.


Don't tell me it's a problem with my motherboard or CPU or anything, because it's not. I've tested it in another computer and the results are the same. When I try to run games (even simple ones like Counter-Strike) the computer locks up for a few seconds, ranging from 10-20 seconds, and the sound repeats the last milisecond of sound over and over like a skipped cd. The fan had died and I did not know until much later, durring this time I was running the card. It wasn't until the problems started happening that I opened up the case to see the fan motionless. I ran it, still, for a little bit, it being my only card at the time, but I replaced it with a 32 meg card (see sig :() not too long afterwards so my card wouldn't die. I replaced the chipset cooler on the card and I tried running NFS:U. It ran for a few seconds before the problem happened again. I wonder if I've fried the GPU?
 
so you get these problems even after you put on a new heatsink and fan?
 
Yep, just pulled it out of my other computer and put it in my daily one and it has terrible performance, even outside of games. First few minutes of use had the computer very choppy.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and just announce it dead.

Sounds like you already figured it out.

Oh hey, thanks genius.
 
i have same problem with same Video card just go into BIOS > Advanced Chipset > Turn AGP 4x or 8x wateva to disabled or disable AGP fast read and write
 
i had the same problem with a gf2 ti. i think it was due to the drivers, because when i used 4x.xx series, it would lock up, but if i used a 3x.xx, it wouldn't. i think the drivers best for the gf2 series is 31.08. try those...
