Had a previous go-round with my video card, discussed in this NG in a
thread starting 9/11/05. See http://tinyurl.com/9ptfx Many thanks to
those who helped.
The solution to the previous problem was to uninstall the previous
drivers through Add/Remove Programs before installing new drivers, and
also to follow other tips that I had previously overlooked (e.g., shut
down the antivirus before installing new drivers). Simple but true; I
was overlooking these steps.
Now that the new drivers are installed and running properly, ASUS Smart
Doctor is running properly too, and it is a bearer of bad tidings. It
pops up with the following messages:
VGA chipset fan isn't functioning well.
VGA chipset isn't supplied with stable voltage.
VGA voltage is out of safe bound. Motherboard doesn't supply ...
But it does not do this every day. Yesterday yes, frequently; today
no, not at all.
Any guesses as to the cause? I would guess it's a power supply issue,
but I've got this workhorse Antec TruePower 430. Is the video card
failing, perhaps? Are there diagnostics that would help me sort this
out for sure?
