gForce FX 5700 Ultra and driver issues

Friday, January 9, 2004 by IPlural | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Something I just found out after installing this card into a Gigabyte GA-8SG800 based system running AGP 8x is that it boots to damn fast to hit F8..

Anyway, I unplugged the power cable from the vid-card and it actually kicked off from the overclocked speeds so I could actually watch and see what was taking place.

nvtunexp.sys was causing it to constantly rebooting after loading up windowsXP in a user account, or if I just sat and watched it would do it from the logon.

The s-video driver seems to have some issue with it and I have not seen anything yet on the net for a work around *yet is key here*...

It really isn't an issue because I am not going to be making use of it for a bit anyway and if someone is not going to make use of it at all the card drops around $50.00 in price.

-----------

anyway, if anyone is having problems with this card or the 8x gForces and can not seem to nail it down, try un-plugging the secondary power cable and it should blue screen on yo so you can see which driver is causing he glitch...

after updating the drivers and going to a higher Watt PSU (430) it runs like a champ...

kinda like my old Pinto, it was great on gas when it ran and even better on gas when it didn't!
