Default GF FX 5200 Ultra Problems

Seem to be having major problems with random dumps to the desktop
across the board with many 3d games.

It may happen after 2 minutes
It may happen after 2 hours...
Or anywhere in between..

Anyone have any ideas?

Running latest drivers...
DirectX 9.0b

Card's running on IRQ 16, no other devices using that IRQ.

Thanks,

Stephan

PC overheating, bad RAM, inadequate power supply. Could be a number of
things - tough to say since you only gave one spec for your computer.

We need all your system specs to include power supply wattage in order to
make an analysis. We also need to know what operating system you have.

Did you build this PC yourself or was it shipped to you? There was an
article in one of the PC magazines a few months ago describing how
components such as RAM and PCI cards can work loose during shipment.

Make sure everything is seated properly.
