Geforce3 Ti 200 and Windows XP

I have reloaded my computer with Windows XP Professional.
I have a K7 AMA Motherboard for reference. I have tried
repeatedly to load drivers for my video card, Geforce3 Ti
200, it loads the driver, recognizes the card but when I
goto Device Manger it has an error, "code 10" "unable to
start". I have tried about 5 different drivers from
Nvidia, including the latest version, 44.03, all the
Windows XP updates I could find, including sp1a. I have
also checked for new drivers for my Motherboard and AGP.
Has anyone else had this problem or know the fix? I am at
my wits end on this.
 
I have the same card. Did you ever overclock the card or your board? I got into this same problem with the same card when I
overclocked a bit. A old backup card worked fine (TNT). Removing and replacing the nvidia drivers did not help. I thought I
damaged the card but even replacing the gf3 with a new identical card did not work. Reformatting and re installing XP ultimately
worked. so I concluded some file(s) got corrupted somewhere that could not be repaired with all my efforts. did you say you have
since reformatted and reinstalled XP after the card became nonfunctional?

I have since determined that for whatever reason my
motherboard is having an agp driver problem. (I guess?)
When I went into bios and changed my video driver from AGP
to PCI and then uninstalled the Video Card rebooted. I
then installed the latest Nvidia driver and low and behold
my pc recognizes the card and all the features of the card
but as a PCI. I have a K7 AMA Motherboard with an Athlon
1.33 Processer. I have looked and looked and can't find a
driver that works yet. Thanks for your reply, and if ya
know of anything else please feel free to post, I'd
appreciate it. Thanks again.
