nVidia AGP Video card and Win 98 SE

by searcher41 . Updated 23 years, 10 months ago

For some reason, I cannot get an nVidia AGP card to work with Windows 98 SE. I install the card, all goes well. I restart the machine – the settings hold. I work for a while, switch off the machine, restart the machine, the settings hold. But, when I switch off the machine overnight, then boot up again, the nVidia drivers seem to disappear. Now, this is the strange part. If at this point, I simply restart the machine again, without reinstalling drivers, the card “kicks in” and works fine. Could be a heat expansion problem? Or drivers wrongly installed? Scratching head here!

Machine = Award Bios 2001; Socket 370 processor (PIII/733MHz); 128 MB RAM; nVidia 16 MB AGP card; Rockewell 56K Internal Modem; 8 GB HDD; 40X CD-ROM; IBM 6332 (??) monitor.
