Guest shultays Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 hi everyone, i am using acer 5920g core 2 duo (2.4 ghz) nvidia geforce 8600m gt turbocache 512 mb 2 gb ddr2 ram vista 32 bit i was using a driver from this site for playing bioshock with direct 10. i could play it with nearly full settings and there was not any problem with game. but after that i installed team fortress 2, after playing 1-2 hours (or less, it seems like random i am not sure. some times it does not crash for a long time) game crashes and in windows it says "your video card stopped to respond" (or something like that i am using turkish vista version) with some alt tab and ctrl alt del, i can continute to playing game in 2-3 minutes. also sometimes game does not crash ( i can hear sounds) but only i can see is long triangles which has one corner at the center of the screen (sorry i cant explain it, english is not my first langauge). after that i installed drivers from acer's site. this time this over heat problems seems like less but there is another weird problem. nearly all textures all something blackish (some textures are normal) i can move and play game, also water in the game seems normal. alt tabs usually solve this problem. i reduced all graphic options to low but it is still same, i also tried a notebook cooler it didn't affect much. as i said i played bioshock also played half life 2, portal they all seems work properly. now i am downloading 169.28 driver frım this site, do you recommend this? or what should i do? i don't know much about using this drivers, can you give advice which one i should use?

anonymous1986 Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 yes 169.28 works best for me 8600m GT so does 167.49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shultays Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 also while installing the driver for bioshock, i didn't remove my old driver and i only replaced the inf file and run the setup. and again for the driver i installed from acer's website i just installed it. can this cause a problem?
