anyone know why the component output to my plasma keeps f****** up?? it was turning blue and overscanning on the last set of nvidia drivers and i installed the new 1s... it worked for a while and now the picture has dissapeared.. i only get an image if i put the pc into vga mode... aint had time to sit and look at it yet tho but i'd like opinions..

The card is an agp 6200 and im using xp pro and its running the component output to a sony kv42 ts2e... its nt the tv tho, i use the component for other things aswell (dvd player and recorder being two of the 3)

I've had problems with graphics cards not even working due to the drivers being corrupt etc... It's always worth doing a sweep with DriverCleaner before installing the drivers, just to rule them out :)

Have you tried disabling fast-writes in the BIOS?

And setting the AGP aperture to 128?? :) Worth a go...

apature is set to 256 meg due to the size of ram on the card... will check the fast write toinight though.. if i give up and go mad i will put some sort of wdm vga driver:P ... will giv u an update after iv checked the bios

How did you determine the aperture size?

Should be an option in the BIOS. Basically I think its reccomended to set to the video memory of your card, or a 1/4 of your RAM if you don't have much RAM :)

If your running a fast 128mb card (6600GT and above) with more than 512 system RAM then set the aperature to 256..everything else follow the guide above.

Is the Plasma fixed yet?
