FX5200

Got a prv150 and an old 400mx (32meg) video card. They did play nice together. Just bought a evga FX5200 (to replace 400mx). FX5200 is having some screen lockups. I just installed the needed drivers from the CD (nvidia version 5.6.5.5 Date 1/29/2004).

Would updating nvidia drivers help? If so, how and where?

Computer: AMD2500, WinXP pro SP1, 512ram, 80gb HD,
Thanks

Other info: Screen lockups occure when watching WinTV2000 live or Sage live and trying to do something else with computer. TaskManager says I'm only using 16% of my CPU.

First thing I would do is update the drivers from Nvidia's website. The official drivers are the 66.93 version, but some people here are using the beta version 67.66.

If that didn't fix your problem, since you moved up to a DirectX 9 video card, I would update DirectX to the latest version. There may be some gotcha's with that. See this post for more details.

Here's a more important first thing to do...

Check that the fan and heatsink are connected and working.
