Display Drivers & Windows Vista?
-
I know that sounds rather general, well let's get specific. I have a GeoForce 7100 GS video card. It is a PCIex with 256 MB of onboard memory. It is listed as "Vista Compatible", I have tried every known driver (I can find). even to the extent of trying one of nVidia's newest beta drivers. My system continues to crash, crash, crash :mad: . When I revert back to my onboard video, GeoForce 6100 with 64 MB of onboard memory, my system stabilizes but I would like to be able to utilize the more powerful card. Any help or sugesstions in this matter would be greatly appreciated.:-D

It is a possibility that the onboard video memory may be bad, but it does register it (displays the correct amount :~ ), the memory information on startup. As far as my system mem goes I have 3 GB and have even done memory diagnostics and found that all is well there. Is there a way to actually test the video card's memory? Such as a software tool that runs a video mem diagnostic, I just have not found one? Any further help here is most definitely appreciated, and I will listen to anyone who has knowledge about troubleshooting this problem. Frankly, if I knew for sure I wouldn't be asking for help! :confused: :~ :confused:
