Nvidia Geforce 7600 Graphics Problems?

**asolgat** · 13-11-2009

I think I am having some problems with my graphics card. It is Nvidia GeForce 7600GS. I bought this so I could play Sims2 and 3 but it also is affecting "mysims" and "rollercoaster tycoon". When I check the card it says it "Found no problems". But there is obviously a problem! When I am playing my games my screen will look "cracked" or "shattered". Not always, like it goes in and out. But then there are times when the whole thing freezes up and my monitor shuts down and the only option is to manually reboot my comp. If I leave it (in hopes it will come back on) then I find "Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown.
Here is what this tells me:
roblem signature:

I tried the "Solution" tab, that's no help. If someone could please advise me on what I need to do I'd be so grateful! Also, Please let me know if you need more info.
Thanks! - Ange

It seems to me that motherboard BIOS is the actual reason for this message and so you need to update it for Vista Home Premium. I don't think it's hardware related at all. It is not at all your Nvidia GeForce 7600GS graphic card causing that issue. Simply try updating the BIOS and see if it works.
