Well now that You mention that, in the bios I notice it has 2 fans listed..#2 fan is spinning at zero revs...Yet when you get into the tower/box both are spinning! I have to do something here obviously, like either load my old driver back on or try & find the correct driver for this card..Although, In order to find out weather on not it was my old driver screwing things up, I better stick with this minimum requirement driver for a few days..

BTW John,it's good practice to uninstall any existing driver before loading a different one.

John,

You have the same problem as me!!!!

Either Blackscreen (well, yours is coloured) or freezing of the current screen, Freezing up constantly (every 10-15 minutes), Nothing works on the keyboard or mouse etc. etc.

About the same set-up too. Mine is Celeron, 700 mhz, running Windows 98SE etc. etc.

The pooter guy fixing mine can't solve it yet. (I am presently using his loaner pooter).

He has put my harddrive into this pooter and it worked for about 2 hours, then it carked it! It says it is corrupted. I can't open it to move stuff from my old HD to this HD.

I've also done the usuals: AVG daily, Adaware daily, De-frag weekly etc.

He is coming out again on Tuesday to have another crack at it.

This is why I am trying to get another pooter!!!! This thing has had it's day. And like yours, was a dud from day one.

hi john... seems we are all barking up the right tree... it could be that you have the wrong drivers for the vid card (as already said). it could also be that you cooked it due to the overclocking. the tnt2s are pretty good when it comes to OCing but they can be cooked.
Does you problem hapen in safe mode? if you havent tried it then do so... we can see for sure if the vid card is the problem then.
