Title: Graphics Card Trouble
Post by: A Manfred on October 26, 2005, 08:27:39 AM

I bought a new computer several months ago and just recently I wipe it clean and reinstalled windows and that is when my problem started.  I updated the drivers to my graphics card and now none of my computer games will work.  Everything works fine on my desktop but once I start to load a game the problems start.  First everything runs normal but after about 30 sec of loading everything freezes and there are a whole bunch of little blue rectangles all over the screen and the whole computer is frozen.  Could this be because I have the wrong driver installed?  If so what can be done to fix this problem.  If not what else could it be?  Thanks.

Update Windows & directX.
Then get video & sound drivers from the manufacturer's websites.

Ok....now what drivers do I need for my GeForce 6800 made by MSI?  Do I go to the MSI page or Nividas page?
