I have Windows XP Professional on my computer and I have a NVIDIA GeForce2 MX400/400. Every time that I try to push a moderate amount of graphics through my computer (an example being Windows 3D screensaver), my computer locks up and restarts. Blue screen of death with the memory dump and all that. I have kept my drivers up to date from the NVIDIA website. I have 256 MB of SDRAM PC133; I am running a Pentium 3 1GHZ processor. Is there anything I can do or does my video card just suck. I know other people that are having the same problem from there GeForce video cards that aren't quite so new. Although the windows website says that our video cards are compatible. I also have the NVRefresh tool hoping that it would help but it doesn't make a difference. What are we doing wrong?

Hi
I also have the same card as you, and it gives no problems on XP. Has it ever worked with XP? Have you tried using the default drivers that ship with XP rather than updating the nvidia drivers?
I've also had problems with certain games after I installed the updated drivers.

I have always had problems with my video card and XP, I have even tried getting a new video card cause the old one was bad and my computer was still under waranty, and I found that my HD was bad at the same time and that made my computer run better. I have tried the drivers that came on XP, the ones from the Nvidia website, and I also tried the updated ones from the windows update site.
