Just bought a Gainward 4x AGP 64meg GF4 ti4200 from a guy on ananadtech. The card seemed to work fine, I installed the 41.09 drivers off nvidia.
I played GTA3 and noticed twice the card would freak out and totally turn the monitor weird colors like a tv that was hit by lightining, nothing is readable and the computer seems to lock up. I had to reboot the computer and sometimes it would stay like that upon reset. The only way to fix it would be to turn it off and do a cold boot. Ok, so I thought maybe it was the game. Then just now I went to fire up a dvd and it did the same thing.
Does this sound like the card is junk or maybe is it a driver problem?
I have the abit kt7a, amd 1.4ghz, 512pc133 ram and so on.
Anyone else seen anything like this?
