Re: video card problem?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I know little re gaming but for info on products/performance I do watch one
forum - the general advice and this goes for flight simulation as well, is
to roll back to the previous driver.
It cant hurt and may solve the problem.
If no solution found here, then contact nVidia - very helpful site they
have, from my experience.
Have you been to the msnews.gaming group - though I believe you are using
the web based group, at the moment.
Someone will no doubt advise you how better these newsgroups are.

I have an HP 2800 AMD Athlon with a Geforce FX 5500 vodeo card. Until
about
4 day ago everything was ok. Now everytime i run game software ( Call of
Duty & Rollercoaster Tycoon) the computer freezes for up to 20 sec b4
coming
back. Sometime the damn thing has 2 be restarted. I have downloaded an
updated driver from the Nvidia web site. That didn't work. I tried system
restore, and decelerated the speed of the card, nothing works. Does anyone
have the answer?
It would be much appreciated
