Choppy Video

i had a choppy video when playing, my video card is GeForce2 MX 400, when i am trying to install the updated driver my system always restart and i cannot continue anymore, i already updated my motherboard's driver but still the problem exist.

By the way my operating system is windows xp service pack 2, can anybody please help me so that i can enjoy my favorite game! Thanks to all!

A GF 2 MX400 can still run NBA Live 2005 at low or medium detail settings. Set your resolution to 640x480 or 800x600. Install other drivers aside from the latest official or beta releases. Do a search in this forum for various drivers that you can try.

Sudden reboots are mostly caused by hardware damage. It could be that your video card had accumulated too much dust on the GPU and that the heatsink corroded. It could also be a faulty memory module on the video card. Another reason could be lack of power from the power supply unit because too many devices are attached to your system (hard disks, optical drives, case fans, USB devices, etc.). Lastly, the motherboard could be damaged due to corrosion, old age, etc.

post your specs. i have the same card as yours at 64 mb ram. games works fine up to the 1024 res for me.

Try disabling startup items in your system tray so that you'll free up some resources. another thing is to turn off your h/w acceleration of your sound card. Have the habit of using scandisk and defragment your hdd more often. I'm quite curious of your system specs though.

Another idea is to overclock your video card or your system, but that's another topic.

Hope this helps!

that REALLY depends on the brand of card he has. some cards can't take any OC'ing at all. if you choose to oc it, please read in to it first. know what you're doing.
