My NVIDIA 6600 GT video skips and then the CPU freezes at 100%. How do I fix that? (usually happens in games)?

It has nothing to do with the CPU. 64bit chips are fully backwards compatiable.\nthe LAN PARTY boards are usually top of the line ones also.\n\nI would think 2 things: make sure ALL of your drivers are up-to-date (video, motherboard(it's a DFI), sound, etc).\n2. upgrade your RAM. If you don't have enough, you'll have to use your pagefile (that's on your Hard drive) and that slows it down a lot and if you're hard drive is being taxed too much, that could be the cause of the crash.

Try a Google search for:\n\n"No valid rendering code path detected"\n\nwith the quotes.  You will see that when this question was posted on a forum where people might know the answer, the first question usually asked of the poster was: What video card do you have?  I won't ask that here, because I wouldn't know what to do based on the answer.\n\nBut if you see the forums where people who had this problem got help, you may either find your answer, or something that will lead you to your answer, or you can just choose one of the forums and post your own query there.

Hmm.....If its not the monitor, it's definitely the video card. If you have another computer, try swapping the cards and see if it works. Hope it helps.

try doing a update to the video card through microsoft.   if this still does not fix the problem find updated drivers for windows 2000 for the video card.

Your first idea is the best one, I suggest finding out why it crashes as this may happen to other software if it is a memory or CPU problem or a graphics card. I use movie player for movie editing and it works fine, a bit slow some times but it does the job.

I get this alot too...\n\nI dont know how much you know about CPU's so excuse me if I seem patronising, it isnt intended.\n\nAs I say, I get this alot despite carrying out the advice I am about to give you, some driver clashes will never be resolved fully and you just have to live with the odd crash.\n\nBut, if this compatability issue can be sorted, its very easy. First off, go to microsoft.com and do a Windows update. Do the advanced option and select every update that they offer that is related to video or graphics or display. Install these then reboot, see if that brings any joy.\n\nIf not, find out who manufactures your video card/on board graphics chip. Do this by typing dxdiag.exe into your 'run' command. Then, go to the companies website and see if they have a download section. Here you should find patches and updates which you can download and install. Again, then reboot and see what happens.\n\nLast resort, go into your Device Manager, (control panel, hardware) and select your video driver, select properties then click on the option to 'roll back driver'. This will revert your drivers to older ones, again, then reboot and see if you have any joy.\n\nAll the best....!

Flickering is usually a cause of an unsupported framerate. Try changing the refresh rate under monitor settings. Otherwise, it would propably be your graphics card.

This sounds like a hardware acceleration problem. Go to your display settings.. click on advance.. troubleshoot.. and slide the acceleration to none.  If it doesn't work try updating your video drivers.

my guess is that you need to reinstall your video card drivers

Neverwinter Nights System Requirements are far less then what u have on ur  computer...but it is difficult to say why it consumes such a great amount of CPU..according to the official requirements it should work on a Pentium® III 800 MHz or AthlonTM 800 MHz processor...\ni am not very good with video cards..but can u check if ur video card is OpenGL 1.2 compliant... if it is NOT OpenGL 1.2 compliant, then it might be the reason for this issue...

The most common reason for this sort of thing is that your video card needs an updated driver for it.  Go to the website for the maker of your particular card, and they should have the latest driver there for a free download.  Do that, and install it.  Good luck.

You may need to re-install the drivers for your video card.  It sound like windows installed their default drivers.

You'll have to puchase a video card (AGP or PCI, depending on your motherboard), install this and disable the onboard video in BIOS.

you have a bad video card, oth e onboard chip is bad most likely, if you have onboard video, try taking the ram oud and reseatin git, if you havea video card, do the same, if you still have not video, start thinking about a corrupt bios, or a new motherboard

A reinstalation is your best bet, if that doesent work im sure you will have to aquire either a new, or better video card, and then possibly some RAM, but more then likely just a reinstalation of your operating system will work

It could be a problem with the video card, the display settings or the drivers. Check the display settings first, then reinstall your video drivers and DirectX, and... if it comes to it, try replacing the memory card.

Are you using the onboard video card or are you using a dedicated card.  If you are attempting to use the onboard video then try putting in a dedicated video card.  If you are using a dedicated video card now then try putting in a different one or try using the onboard video and see if it works.
