Default Graphics Problem

I have a computer that just freezes up when booted normally. I've installed
latest drivers.

I turn the computer on.
Windows XP loads
About a minute or 2 it freezes up with like horizontal bars, all the pixels
are shifted or the monitor just turns off.
I think it works fine in 8 and 16 bit color. But when I set it to 32, it
froze.

The graphics card is: GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X
Has SP3.
Works just fine in safe mode.

Were you experiencing problems before you installed the latest video
drivers?

If not, try totally removing those drivers and install the older ones.
I believe there are uninstall utilities that will help totally uninstall the
Nvidea drivers before installing the new drivers.
Also check to see if your vid card fan is working and that the dust bunnies
didn't take over the computer.

Well, now I uninstalled the drivers accidentaly. I meant to reinstall. But
it works just fine without NVIDIA driver.
The NVIDIA driver worked fine a few days ago.
