Nvidia 6200AGP Issues...

JenovasBrother · 12-08-2008, 04:13 PM

Hey i was wondering if any of you guys could give me a hand with this issue which has been driving me INSANE.

So a bought an Nvidia 6200 AGP (256MB VRAM) card for £20 and ive been having consistant driver and forceware issues with it. If i install no drivers, i get either a BSOD or a blank screen when playing a movie. If i have drivers installed, i get the same result, Yes i have tried varying resolutions and various different drivers but to no avail. I have these issues on both XP ALL VERSIONS & Vista. I never had the issue on Linux or Mac. The only solution which seems to work occasionally is having my resolution at 1200x1600 and in Windows Classic Mode. I did also add a cooling fan for any heat issues it could be. Its not my power supply either, i have around 850Watts and the card only needs 350.

Here is the link to my card. http://www.xfxforce.com/en-us/produc...es/6200.aspx#2

Im currently running Vista Ultimate 32 Bit if thats any use. if you need anymore details ask me.

Oh and also it occurs more IF i install the DivX plugin, It occurs less with the K-Lite Codec pack. And its not the card or it would occur in OSX And Linux. Plus it can handle any other graphically demanding task.
