Geforce2 problems, freezing

[digitalcenturion 20]

Well OFP, and every other new direct3d game, freezes a few seconds into the game. WinXP identifies the file nv4_disp as the faulty one.

I have K7T266 Pro mainboard, AMD athlon xp 1700+ processor, windows XP pro, AGP running at 2x ( i tried 1x too), VIA 4-1 patch applied, forceASPI applied, drivers i think are the lates detonator ones (28.32?), DirectX 8.1

Can anyone help me?

humm if i were u i ll not use the driver 28.32, and after the VIA 4in1 patch 14.38: (your loop is a classical of nvidia since the few last patch)

The nvidia 2832 thought it is better than the previous still got some bugs, and is optimized more for the GEF4 than the previous cards, maybe u should try some older patch or try the driver beta 28.90 *i ve see a differences in less crash, but not in perf)*

The 4in1 drivers after the 1436 isnt recommended with flashpoint, especially if u use a Microsoft joystick (u ll have for sure an input device error).... same the patch after 1436 got some problems with soundblaster soundcard.

I suggest u to use NVmax (findable evrywhere) and put the right thing into *some are for VIa MBoard*. Same i suggest u to get the DirectX applet and remove the directsound debugger.... another thing take care of your Bios, if u use a inbound soundcard/modem the Northbridge VIA chipset is not fully compatible with Geforce (still stupid), u ll got for sure memory leaked.

Motherboard can be broken.

Try change video card to your friends computer. If it works well, your motherboard can be broken

Once i have same prob with abit motherboard and I change the motherboard to asus and then it work.

And now i tried my geforce card on another computer exactly the same errors as on mine. Suprising, no? Seems like the card is busted. Wonder if there is a warranty for it... gotta check..
