Im having some major conflicts with my video card (i
think). I have a Nvidida GeForce4 MX440 (which I went an
got because i thought problem was my NVIDIA GeForce2 Ti).
I have downloaded and installed all the newest drivers and
chipsets from my motherboard manufacturer and the NVIDIA
site. Nothing works the screen will lock up, flicker,
garble.... I have completely rebooted XP 3 times and the
problem comes back. Where is the real problem and how do
I fix it?

oh, I also got this message once...
"NV4_mini.sys Address F951DDAD Base at F94CB000, Datestamp
3B36db84"

help me please...
 
You may have accidentally statically charged the graphic
cards?

Try the following...

ENSURE PC IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE MAINS.
IMPORTANT BEFORE TOUCHING INTERNAL COMPONENTS TOUCH A
BARE METAL PART OF CHASSIS (UNPAINTED PART OF PC CASE) to
earth yourself or wear an antistatic wrist strap!!

1-Remove the graphic card holding only by the edges
2-Wipe the card gently all over with anti static cloth
3-ensure all grease and or finger marks are removed
4-re-install card taking care only to touch it by the
edges
5-re-install the graphic card drivers

Assuming you did that the first time you installed the
cards?

Then check your drivers and hardware is installed
properly,by opening control panel,click on system,then
hardware,then devices manager.
Check to make sure none of your graphic cards devices are
highlighted with yellow icons and that they say "this
device is working properly".

Done all that and still not working? Then take the
graphics card back for a refund.

Wish ya luck Juan
 
Sorry Juan, that isnt the problem. right now, my computer
is running because i have DISABLED the NVIDIA driver. If
i enable it, my computer locks up. IS THERE A MAJOR
CONFLICT WITH NVIDIA AND WINDOWS XP THAT IM UNAWARE OF???
Im in need of some major conflict management...
 
i have a gforce 3 ti 200 and tried the new version 44.03
and it screwed up all the colors so i rolled it back to a
previous version. you might want to install an earlier
version and i believe there is a conflict. good luck
