Continunous flickering in XP with Geforce 4

[Serial_Clergyman]

Hi I'm currently running XP on a celeron 2.0ghz with 512 megs of ddr RAM and a geforce MMX 440 64megs..

While on the desktop and other lesser applications, for most of the "detenator" series drivers the screen flickers to blank and recents every 10 seconds. It will also display image problems, like windows not moving when you drag them that are corrected when it blinks off and back on again.
Under the drivers that came with the card it would not flicker, but crash very often, every five minutes or so.

This would NOT happen when doing any opengl or direct3d stuff.. playing project entropia/gta/arcanum/starcraft even just on the desktop

I'm running windows XP..

I'm wonding what's the problem and what to do about it. (latest directx and latest drivers have both not helped.)

thanks

Sounds like the the card itself might be bad. I suppose you could try reseating the card and see if that helps.

Also check to make sure all the voltages on the card are set right, and that its set for the right AGP speed.

Thanks for the response, but I have tried reseating and that's not the problems.. all the voltage settings etc are also fine. I have 2 houses and a similar computer at both, do you think it would be worthwhile to swap the cards around..?

swap it unless you have an on-board vid slot...best to have 2 options for problem solving. Ive had cards do that to me, and is not fun...try just swapping, if that wont fix it then im not sure on how to help you out...
