The agony!!!
Hi there.
Random crashes seem to be a constantly returning topic with G400 card drivers, and i'm really getting sick and tired of it!
Normally the drivers work fine, but after about a month games start to crash after playing for a random period. D3D titles do crash, but simply reinstalling the drivers always works for me. The major problem is turbo/openGL. I have been playing halflife (again) for more than a month now, and Q3A for about 2 weeks, and now all of the sudden these games crash in 2 different ways. The game either crashes instantly, and starts to draw green vertical lines on the screen, or it hangs after [random] min. I've reinstalled the drivers about 3 times now, with and without the use of the pduninst utility, but i still get no results. Also, it doesn't really matter wether i'm using Turbo or openGL....The latest (extremely weird) error i got happened in Windows itself. First of all, whenever I tried to maximize (internet)explorer it crashed, showing some random-color-dotted lines. When i closed the program, EVERYTHING started to show random dotted lines, and all of the colors were totally screwed up. Processor usage went up to about 200%, and Windows was able to run about 1 line of code PER MINUTE!! This problem has now gone away, but since it's gone away by itself i don't really trust this...It sounds like i'm overclocking the card, but i'm not. I'm not overclocking anything. If anybody out there has got an answer, please reply!!
Here are my specs:
Intel P3 450MMX
DFI P2XBL mainboard (i440BX chipset)
128 Mb PC100 SDRAM
8.4 GB UDMA66
G400, 32mb, non-dual
SBLive! Platinum
