    gef4 mx trouble

    After 20 minutes or maybe 2 hours everything gets blurry all of a sudden during games. Does anyone have a clue?

    Most time related graphics troubles are either 1) Your case is overheating....2) Power Supply can't dish out enough....3) Rare cases where drivers are the issue.

    So what make/power is your PSU?

    Summer = hot here....maybe try running it for a while with out the side and maybe a fan pointed in there

    Latest drivers esspecially Nvidia can help card efficiancy...maybe

    Try getting a household fan and removing the case cover and see if blowing cool air across the card helps, although a gf4mx shouldnt really overheat. Also try degaussing your monitr

    I'll trade you a GeForce 2 MX for your card. My card will work for your games.

    I put a GF4 MX in a PC that had a ATI Rage Pro. It was an amazing improvement. I had to update my BIOS to make the card function properly but I have had no issues with running it.

    What version of DirectX do your run?
    What version of the drivers do you use?

    If you use the drivers that came with the card I would update first. I use www.guru3d.com to download drivers for my card.

    3-) PSU can t hardly be the prob there 's not a lot of stuff in that compie
    4-) I ll try the heat but I can t imagine that is a real issue on gef 4

    I'm not quite clear what this is?

    In any case, someone mentioned heat. It might not just be your video card, it could also be your CPU. You CPU is underload as well playing some games, and if it's overheating it could also affect your video performance.
