    Hi

    In Device Manager do you have any yellow ! marks by any devices, and if so what?

    What applications do you have starting with your PC, and if you disable all of them using msconfig (start > Run > type msconfig > startup tab and untick all) as a test can you run the games and 3d tests ok?

    I would be tempted to re-install the Chipset driver again HERE and reboot, then install the Graphics Card driver HERE but only after doing the below and clean uninstalling the nvidia drivers.

    thx sir

    1.> In Device Manager do you have any yellow ! marks by any devices, and if so what?

    Answer: PCI MODEM (Yellow Marks)

    2. What applications do you have starting with your PC, and if you disable all of them using msconfig (start > Run > type msconfig > startup tab and untick all) as a test can you run the games and 3d tests ok?

    Answer: Still Freezes after running test. i tried 3d test w/out using video card and its running fine no freezes Running on VGA compatibility mode.

    3.I would be tempted to re-install the Chipset driver again HERE and reboot, then install the Graphics Card driver HERE but only after doing the below and clean uninstalling the nvidia drivers.

    Answer: haven't tried installing chipset driver yet,. is it safe installing this file? wont it do any damage installing the wrong chipset driver on my comp?

    I have NVIDIA CD driver or should i still be needing to download links u had given?

    i cant see my 1st reply.
    Answer#1: PCI modem yellow marks
    Answer#2: still freezes after disabling all in msconfig.
    Answer#3: installing chipset driver are safe/doesnt damage software after installing? i have NVIDIA cd driver do i still need to download driver links?

    btw i can run games & 3d test w/out freezing using vga compatibility but not as fast w/vid card on.
