nvidia cards
We have a select 1300 with 32 MB Nvidia TNT2 card that just died (the
card that is). I seem to recall some bantering on this newsgroup about this being a common problem amongst these cards during a certain run? How far into the nvidia line does this effect (gforce1, 2 etc)? Just curious as I replaced the dead one with a spare Geforce2 I had. -- A & L Support your local PJ

nVidia graphics chips have a deserved reputation for running hot. nVidia sells
the chips (along with a reference hardware design) to various board manufacturers. Some manufacturers build boards with inadequate cooling for the nVidia chip, either no fan with a lousy heat sink or the cheapest of fans that burns out after a while. Sometimes, computer owners allow dust and dirt to build up inside the computer case, and the nVidia board gets inadequate cooling. The chip overheats, and either the card just plain dies or it begins to display weird artifacts on screen...

Never had any trouble with my "eVGA" FX5900 that I replaced my 32mb Geforce2
with out of my P4 1400 model. A good manufacturer in my experience with two of the cards, one in a Dell and one in a Gateway. "An & Larry" wrote in message news:0BtYc.62096$yh.21429@fed1read05...
