vipejc Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) I have an AMD X1650 AGP video card. The card works and the driver is mostly stable. The display driver crashes XP in only two situations I know of:1. While watching YouTube videos in 720p or higher.2. And this is the bizzare one... When using my mouse's scroll wheel on a particular site, if I randomly scroll up or down too much. (This is the only site that has this problem. And I always use my scroll wheel on other sites in the same way and much more often, and the display driver has never crashed.I have the latest display driver, and I doubt the previous version of the display driver will fix it. The problem seems to be an intermittent display driver bug that causes a kernel-mode fault. The OS then either freezes for a few seconds before turning to a black screen, or the display driver gets corrupted showing many interlaced white and black lines for a few seconds, and then turns to a black screen. I then have to press the reset button on the tower to set the system straight again. XP never generates a mini-dump or event error after either crash.Has anybody ever experienced such a bizzare video card driver bug?

Ponch Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I would test your RAM and the RAM on the video card.Also see if your CPU goes to 100% when you watch 720p video.Does the site have lots of flash animations ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 A program I've used to test video cards is called OCCT.http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/156709-my-newer-pc-build-is-locking-up-or-freezing-and-not-sure-why/?hl=occt#entry997831 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
