Hey every, i run a geforce GT6600 128MB Graphics card, and lately , whenever im playing a game, the card will crash, and reboot the pc, i dont know whats going on

My old hard drive when the card crashed the first time, came up after rebooting with an error msg from the nvidia drivers saying it wasnt recieving sufficient power and the core processor or something had been slown down, and the problem didnt happen again, since i got this new hard drive and motherboard, the drivers havnt picked up that problem and it just keeps crashing

Is there a way i can get that problem to show up again and fix it, what can i do im so lost

Make sure any previous S3 drivers are uninstalled and reinstall the newest drivers from the website. Also check out this link

whats an S3 driver?, and i went through my bio's and all the settings for AGP etc were all incorrect, could that cause an issue?

If you've had the card a while, make sure the heat sink under the fan is clean so as not to overheat. Tweak your bios settings according to the link I gave you.

S3 is a graphics driver for a series of graphics chips known as S3. I appologize I thought you recently upgraded your graphics card. The intent was, make sure you don't have any old graphics drivers installed.
