Videos don't load fully with new card

Tacoben77 · 12-13-2008, 11:04 AM

Hi, I've got a problem that when I put a new video card into my computer videos will only load to about 2 minutes. The same happens with anything I try to download. If the file is larger than 20Mb then it stops part way and doesn't load further.
My computer is pretty old, its a Pentium 3, 662Mhz Microprocessor, 384Mb RAM.
It came with a Cirrus Logic 5446 video card which works fine with videos but is not exactly great for games.
This video problem has happened with two different video cards
- NVIDIA Vanta-16 video card
and
- ATI Radeon 9250 card. Both are AGP cards while the Cirrus Logic is a normal card (not agp)
I'm tired of having to change cards every time i want to switch between watching videos and playing games so any help would be greatly appreciated.

that usually can't be directly attested to a video card. But theres always a lone chance.

do videos in media player stop loading as well, ie if you try to stream a live video?
