I just bought Club 3d GeForce 6600gt AGP. My former card was Sapphire Radeon 9600 Atlantis. My problem is that I can't run some of the programs at all (e.g 3dMark 05) and some of the games and progs display an error (e.g 3dmark 03 hangs in when the troll test starts). And sometimes Windows displays BSOD and starts dumping psychical memory. I formatted all of my hard-disks when I installed the new grapichcard. I put the bios and video ram uncacheable from bios as the BSOD advised. My AGP aperture is set to 256 and I have tried 128 and 64 also. All drivers are up to date and my bios too.
I have thought if there's a problem with my gcard and my motherboard.
Here is my Hardware:
Club 3d Geforce 6600gt 128mb AGP
Abit At7-max2 -motherboard
AMD Athlon Xp 2500+
2xWestern Digital 512mb(400mhz) RAM

I hope someone could help me. If I forgot to mention something potential, inform me(e.g of my hardware).

Thanks.

Nvidia say a minimum of 300watts for a psu, yours might say 300w but it might not be cutting it which is resulting in your system crashing .... is there any way you can try a friends psu on your system or your card on a friends system with a higher wattage psu ? , failing that buy a new more powerful psu, it might even improve your whole system ;) basically i doubt your psu is up to the demands of your system since you introduced the 6600GT ....

Can you tell us the BSOD stop codes??? So, we can help research for you??

One of my latest BSOD's occured with an upgrade from Windows 2000 to XP; had to reload video drivers from Nvidea site; then, the BSOD went away to La La Land.

Keep us posted.

The Upgraded PSU is a great idea too. I'd definitely do that. I am pushing over 500 Watts with my Gear.

Did you uninstall your ATI software and drivers before putting the nvidia card in? Does 3DMARK run fine with your ATI 9600?

Yes, Aik, please do what Rosco recommended.

I'm sorry about the stop code; that should refer to a location in memory.

Can you tell us what other pertinent information is showing up on the BSOD, such as a filename (driver), such as *.sys, *.dll, some filename that is having an issue which in this case is probably a driver name like nvid*.sys.

Thanks.

I have Windows XP sp2 and don't have a paraport.sys driver. Go here to read ... see link:

You may just want to deinstall it if you aren't using it and let us know if that helps you out.

Let us know.

Humor me. If you aren't using the parallel port for a printer or no other hdw, go ahead and deinstall it; reboot; then, try to recreate the problem. Ok?? Has paraport.sys always been the affected filename??

Yeah... Is paraport.sys the only error? Have you anything connected to your parralel port? You could disable it in the BIOS....
