Nvidia 6600GT issue
Hey everyone,
I’m working on my 9 years old’s computer; an old dell 4600 with a nvidia 6600gt installed. The card worked fine under xp and vista and for the most part still works in win 7. The problem is that when the computer is running a game ie Flatout2, after a few minutes of normal play the computer monitor will turn off. I looked at the pc and it is still on. I unplugged the monitor from the vga and used a converter to plug it into the dvi and tried again. The monitor again shut off in the middle of gameplay, only in dvi it turned back on and the computer was restarting. I am not sure if it was restarting when it was plugged into the vga because the computer monitor stayed off until I turned the power off. I used both the windows version of the driver and I used the nvidia websites version of the driver. I even reinstalled windows and the same problem persists. It appears to crash only on graphic intensive games as it does not crash when she was playing plants v. zombies. Anything I can do to fix this?
Thanks,
Chris
