Aopen Geforce2 MX

[nmack]

i was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem as me with the AOPEN GeForce2 MX.

when i play games, such as Quake3 my computer will hang at random times, sometimes 20mins..sometimes 60mins into the game.

I did not have this problem with my Rage128.

I have a feeling it is the cooling on the card, because it only comes with a HS no Fan

and when i am in windows the HS is warm, after gaming it is HOT

i was wondering if anyone had this prob? and if so, did putting a Blue Orb(considering buying it) on the card fix it?

I wouldn't think a heatsink or fan is required, isn't the MX chip supposed to be cool running?

Got the latest NVidia drivers? Does it do this in 2D mode?

[nmack]

this problem has been happening straight out of the box with every driver build there is

including the current official 6.31

my friend has the same card/prob but his does not hang as often.

the HS gets really hot when you touch.

so FUCT.

Well I think you just got a defective card.... maybe sell it to your friend for around $20 since a defective GF2MX cost about that much now hehe jkjkjk
