graphics driver or virus?

PADDYO · 06-11-2008, 01:42 AM

my computer screen keeps going blank ,but only when im using autocad,
all other programs are fine. Is it a graphics card problem. Also when I start autocad I get 'fatal error' message. Or is it a virus? I M running nod 32 antivirus.

Hi Paddyo,
It could be you graphics card, but from what I understand of CAD it could also be insufficient memory or lack of hard drive space.
If it was a virus i'm sure all your programs would be affected.
Could you please give exact details of the Fatal Error, they usually have an Error number.
And post details of the specifications of your pc, including power supply.
Cheers.

Houndog,
the fatal error is 'unhandled e0434F4dh Exception at 7c81eb33h'

My computer is amd athlon xp2800
2.09 ghz
768 mb ram
ge force fx 5200 graphics

i have since cleaned up the hard drive,got rid of all crap and i think it doesnt play up as often thogh the fatal error thing is still there.

Cheers:

Specially the final paragraph.........
I have found a easy resolution to this problem by simply uninstalling all subsequent .Net Framework updates after Version 1.1 Hotfix (IN REVERSE ORDER), and then re-installing the latest version of .Net Framework. I have had no further problems with this Fatal Error at the startup of Land Desktop 2006 or Civil 3D 2006 since I applied this fix on my system.
