Hi -

I recently purchased a PNY Ti4400 card and put it into my P4/850MVL/512 Meg system (with Antec True430 PowerSupply). Loaded the 28.32 drivers on win XP. My games seem to run fine, but I am unable to get the 3DMark program to complete. It hangs on the Nature test. Are there some setting that I need to adjust or does anyone have any ideas for me to try. Any input would be appreciated.

Maybe it's a problem with windows. Mine ran fine 'till 2 days ago when I aborted the benchmark. Now it doesn't start anymore but crashes the pc.

my specs:
AMD Athlon XP2000+
MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU
512MB DDR PC266-CL2
Visiontek GeForce4 Ti4600
Creative Audigy
Creative Inspire 5700Digital 5.1SoundSystem

err pressed the wrong button

running winme and driver rev28.32

are you overclocking?

Overclocking causes this. Also set AGP aperture to 64mb or highr for 3dmark to run. Reinstall 3dmark2001SE or install driver this way :

1. Download NVcleaner from here http://www.guru3d.com/files/ and the driver you are going to use, Nvidia just released a WHQL certified driver today ver. 29.42
2. Boot into safe mode, F8
3. Uninstall the VGA adapter, any and all, dont worry, on next boot it will force XP to install the card that's there. Reboot
When you reboot cancel out of the hardware wizard, do not install or let windows install the drivers.
4. Open Nvcleaner and hit Clean, hit okay, you will see an error page "could not delete these files, don't worry, your not worried about cleaning the C:/windows files, you just cleaned your registry.
5.Right click my computer/Hardware/Device Manager, you should see the VGA adapter with the exclamation!, update the driver to the new one, VGA Adapter/Have Disk/Location of driver. Word of note: dont worry about not seeing the GF4 card in the window that has a list of video cards, don't double click on any of them, just hit have disk... reboot
6. Go into bios AGP Aperture set to 256, disable fastwrites to be safe until you think your stable, then test it out.

If nothing else now you know how to do a clean driver install , but hopefully your registry is just clutterd with NV files and this will clean them out, in turn not creating any conflicts between XP and the AGP adapter.......
