Re: Media Center freezes with new GeForce 6200



I am not a gamer so I did not consider that usage in my previous post.
Are you outputting the native resolution of you LCD monitor over the VGA
connection?
NVIDIA released new 91.47 drivers yesterday(9/1) are these the ones you are
using?
Is the Intel chip disabled in your BIOS?

I'm using an HP vs19 flat pannel monitor via VGA. I upgraded video cards
for
gaming, and at the moment I'm glad I did.

I consider the Intel 82945 chip on your MOBO to be more powerfull then a
NVIDIA 6200 card. I use one with 128MB of memory allocated on my Vista
system running Media Center with the NVIDIA PureVideo Decoder and have
had
no problems with TV or DVDs.
What output resolution are you using to what type of Display over what
interface?

I recently installed a Geforce 6200-OC graphics card into my HP m7067c,
replacing my Intel 82915G/GV/910GL Express onboard chip. After it's
install,
I noticed that both live and recorded tv locked up my computer after a
few
minutes. After I installed the latest drivers from the NVIDIA website,
it
only got worse. Media Center would lock up before any picture was
shown,
and
the same thing happened when I tried playing the DVR-MS files through
Media
Player 10 or when I tried watching a DVD on InterVideo WinDVD Player. I
bought the NVIDIA PureVideo MPEG Decoder (and have it set as default
through
the decoder utility) with no change. When I ran the Media Center
Diagnostic
Tool, my computer had no fails or warnings.

Is there a setting that I'm missing with my new card? Do I have to live
with
the older drivers (and therefore older controls and settings) to watch
videos
on my computer? Could it be the card itself? Although I wasn't able to
find a
list of MCE-compatable graphics cards, others are using lower Geforce
cards
with no performance issues. Several other threads have had discussions
on
this problem (although with slightly different circumstances) and none
of
the
solutions provided seemed to work except for using an older driver.
