open gl games cause issue

Post Reply New Topic

all open gl games cause me to get a blue screen but my computer has a video card its a nvida geoforce dont no which model but I got it in 2002 and its compatible with jedi knigh jedi outcast its the then I got a new computer in 03 but moved the video card to the new computer because it was better but know open gl games give me a blue screen and I have to restart the computer and I am only trying play quake 3 gl quake 1 quake 2 evolved and half life 1 and doom 64 TC. Those all besides quake 2 evolved worked before but I never use quake 2 evolved till recentely but the blue screen was still going on. They worked on this computer for while then something happened and java script became courrupt and we had to get a new hardrive and now open gl games give me a blue screen they work then a blue screen accures. Do you know how to fix it. I miss my quake gl. I will post what the video card is tommorow.

sounds like a driver problem. Make sure you are using the *latest* Nvidia drivers from their website and not the horrible unstable ones that MS packages with windows.

If you're already using them, maybe it's worth going back and using some older nvidia drivers, if the card is older, but I don't think that will fix it.

it sounds like it might be the FX5200 card.

right click in the desktop > properties > Settings (last tab), there it says there what card you have, and how much video ram.

video ram?
which card?
what nvidia drivers do you have?
OS? (xp, win95, 98, me, etc)

There's your problem... I had a 6000 series melt on me once (by "melt" I'm referring to a colloquiallism for overheating in such a manner that the card is now "permanently fixed"), and the radeon X800 I installed to replace it has worked perfectly fine since then with no adjustments to the cooling in my system...

I refuse to do business with nvidia now...

nvidia > ati
*sticks out tongue*

Not if their cards don't work at all...

its not the card because it worked fine till the hardrive change but its still their because it I can see it when the computer starts when its says all that stuff that looks like dos when you start up If i remember its Geoforce2 mx 100 or somthing like that I need to get on that computer to check it out. So its not dead so I just need drivers but I check nvida for that card and I couldn't find drivers if you could help I would apprecite it talk to me like a 2 year old because I am not computer savay.

edit:I just checked my video card is a Nvida geoforce2 MX 100/200 just so you know.

He looks like Balok...

I sorry it took me so long to respond but it didn;t work when I play a gl game it works then the screen is all like is graphical errors it looks like lines going down the the screen it freezes then goes to the blue screen and says stuff like physical memory dump or its in giberish.

Wow you use the same graphics card for five years. lol (*Falls over*)

yeah, the card you have is not supported anymore. You can get a good one for 40 bucks or even less. Or upgrade the whole cpu first.

Ok I gonna get a cheap one because I use that computer for old games like quake and quake 3 but nothing real demanding then I plan on getting an alienware for newer games because I wanna play computer oblivion and morriwind for mods but first I need to find a copy of daggerfall.
