forced adapter update now Error: 0D : 0347 : 000181C

[Bob]

I replaced a GeForce4 MX440 a Kaser FX5200 128 MB Nvidia graphic card.
It's box says
it has some nice Nview Multi-Display capabilities and "TV-out support
(NTSC/PAL) TV system". Will it support a decent flatscreen?

I keep System Monitor on and lately began seeing the system "ekg"
flatlining for about 10 seconds, then resuming for 10 seconds, and so
on. Also recently an occasional black screen on the monitor it shares
over a KVM switch it has shared for years. Monitor & switch probably
OK since they act normal with the XP system I'm building.

Now I'm seeing blue screens right after logging in, error: 0D :
0347 : 000181C. My googling turms up corrupt program instructions
(maybe due to bad opcodes and the like?). And these often come from
using wrong video drivers.. I tried forcing the Display applet to
switch from the GeForce 4 to a FX5200 and that was a fight. The system
says the drivers are unsigned. But it seems to resist changing the
adapter to plain old system VGA also/

Any suggestions on getting this old guy bavk to work?


This homebuilt is on a Gigabyte 7VT600P-RZC mob, 400 watt MGE
psu(should I get a bigger PSU?), 1 GB DDR RAM(Should I add 1 or 2 GB
RAM?). CPU is an Athlon XP 1066 MHz.

May I try this again. At 1 am I should know to get to bed,

My core problem is intermittent blackscreens becoming more frequent.
One symptom is very interesting - it runs fine is safe mode albeit low
res and 64 colors.
I suspect a probable intermittent malfunctioning video card - G4 MX440
Nvidia. Maybe overheating. It doesn't have a fan, just a fairly big
heatsink.
I have a new FX5200 I bought a year or so back. Unfortunately the
driver diskette has "dissappeared" but I have found
downloads.nvidia.com and downloaded some for win9x.

But am having problems getting the winME hardware manager to turn
loose the old and take up the new.
I thought I could bring it up in safemode, from the control panel
display applet replace the adapter.
But the system sees the drivers are not signed, and I have to click
the advanced button to change things.

If I restart in safemode the old drivers are still there.
I've tried a couple otherways, most recently changing the adapter to
standard vga hoping at least I can bring it up in normal mode and go
directly on the Internet as it is painful transferring drivers
otherwise.

and now I'm getting the blue screen 0D stuff.

Anybody know a fast inexpensive way to restore my old guy to perfect
health?

What is the approved

Maybe Nellie & I are opposites, especially at 1 AM.
Pardon my verbosity.
