Geforce fx5600 Drivers wont install

**Lips2001Ad** · July 4th, 2004, 04:42 PM

I have had a geforce fx 5600 made by jetway I think and I recently had my system crash out on me, windows xp would not start, so I formated and reinstalled but now the text on my boot up screen is a little odd, there are pixels missing from the letters for example CPU ATLON 2500 is kinda artifcated and when windows has loaded its in low colour mode and shows as VGA and wont let me install any detinators. any info peeps?

Does the FX show-up in DeviceManager ?

Do you know what or why your system crashed and wouldn't restart ? because the reason it crashed in the first place may be related to problem your having now .

hi lips2001ad have you tried restaring in safe mode and removing deternator drivers then boot up pc in normal mode and then installing the latest nvidia drivers

The fact that it is artifacting in the bios means one of 3 things

Its overheating
Its overclocked too much
Its gone tits up on ya

Its the FX5600 chip. Thats why nvidia went to the FX5700. If you find a fix for this post it please. So far nvidia tech support has not helped me.

hi alanew
i have got a fx5600 also i have a via KT400/600 chipset
i use forceware 61.77 drivers and i can play games all day long if i wish without any lockups i use the latest VIA 4in 1 drivers
i suggest that you download the latest via 4 in 1 & download the latest nvidia 61.77 drivers uninstall your old ones and try again ive had tis fx5600 5 days now and i mean that i have hammerd it with gaming not a glitch so far

AHHH! I have not tried downloading NEWEST 4in1 via drivers. BUT I WILL NOW. I only switched to a FX_5200_ultra and that cleared my problem. Now I have an extra 5600ep, so I must try latest 4in1. I have the NVIDIA 61.77 for geforce and XP.

good luck alanew
as i say i aint had any problems
