Okay I need some nVidia help.

My home office computer has a nVidia FX5500 256MB Video card and a MSI KT6V (Via KT600 Chipset) and I'm having a weird problem.
Every once in a while (5-10 minutes) my screen goes blank for for a second and comes back on. I've been trying to get the system to stop doing this but with no luck. Here's what I've tried to resolve this:
- Undated the MSI Mobo BIOS to the latest
- Installed the latest VIA chipset WinXP drivers (I've tried other older versions too)
- Installed the latest nVidia drivers (I've tried other older version too)

This problem has been happening since I set this system up 3 months ago.

I had this problem on my wife's ASUS system with an ATI All-in-Wonder card, but various mucking around with the aforementioned drivers resolved this problem. It was a VIA chipset system too.
My MSI/VIA/nVidia system won't co-operate in the same way.

Anyone else had this problem?

is it only happening when playing on line games or single players or both. Does it do it when your not playing any games ????????????

No games...it's an office computer and only runs 2D.

Most of the flickers are in IE, MS Office Apps, watching a DVD, recording TV on my PVR. Basically any kind of work involving see what's on my screen

Most anoying....

Anyone know what the BIOS settings should be for a nVidia FX5500 256MB video card?

Does it need a dedicated IRQ, or will a shared one do?

hmmmmm, It could be a dbl loaded driver rock. Please right click on my computer......click on properties and go to device drivers.

Chances are in this case, there may be a driver loaded twice. If this is the case delete both and restart the computer. It will see the need for it and start a search for the right driver which I think may be on a disk at your pad right lol?

Oh ya.....GO BRONCOS!!!!!!

Thanks Dienamic...

It might very well be that DD problem, Dienamic. It could be the default Windows driver, and then I loaded the new drivers.

Does nVidia (or anyone else) have a cleaner program to remove all traces of ALL nVidia drivers and nVidia software?


And who told me it was ATI drivers that suck...yeah RIGHT!
