I have had two computer crashes, the last one in Oct 2002 which I had to get
a format done as I could not start Windows. MS Windows Online Crash Analysis
pinpointed the problem that my NVIDIA driver needs updating.
I have been trying to update the driver since and MS update in their
critical updates has a download. After installing the update, which I have
tried a couple of times, my monitor turns off every 5-7 seconds making it
impossible to function. I have also tried the company website with much the
same results except that the monitor flashes on and off perhaps every 20-30
seconds.
I have tried all tweaks that I can think of, changing refresh rates and
display properties like screen resolution without much difference.
My card is NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX400. Do I have a software problem which I
can solve or is it a hardware problem which is not common? Anything I can do
or should I should get a different video card?
I was under the impression that the displays were better and more crisp when
I did install the update even though the monitor would flash on and off.
