hi
can anyone tell me way my nvidia 7600silent Asus card just sudendly stopp
working?

I`m thinking it might be some drivers from microsoft but the the problem
came gradurly, i was playing wow and then the grafikk whent crasy and then it
locked down.

Windows came up and sayed something that the drivers was wrong, then it went
to standard drivers and 640x480 res.

but when i restarted it was ok for 1 min. then it just clicked the screen of
and on and i could not do anything.

min or so it started all over...? PLEASE HELP!

You may have a hardware problem, which may be best addressed in the
windowsxp.hardware group.
You should never use drivers from MS - they could be years old.
Go to the card makers web site and get the drivers there.
If you have the install disk that came with the card, get the driver from
there. If not go to the computer builders site for the driver.
There are too many permutations for a solution without more detailed info
from you - computer make - how old - event errors -
etc etc.

Is the fan for the graphics card spinning? nVidia will shut down if its
fan stops.
