I continue to get flashing on the monitor and locking up problems with my new MSI geforce 4 ti 4400 card despite installing the latest Nvidia driver and new Compuserve 500W power supply (30A on the +3.3). Everything I've read here said it was probably my old 350W power supply. Not so. What do I try now?

Here's my specs:
P4 2.0
Soyo Ps4 Dragon Ultra
1 gb ddr ram
80gb WD hard drive
Soundblaster Live 5.1
Windows XP
Compuserve 500W ps
Viewsonic VA 800 monitor

I really need help!

I had similar problems when I tried to use an MSI GF4 Ti4600 and Windows XP Professional locks up at the splash screen. I also tried a Leadtek GF4 Ti4600 and got the same results. I had already upgraded my power supply from a Antec TruePower 330 watts to 480 but to no avail.

Turns out the problem was caused by my brand new Gigabyte GA-8IEXP rev. 1.2 motherboard not fully supporting AGP 2.0 voltage requirements required by the power hungry GF4 Ti4600 cards though their tech support would not confirm nor deny this. Even upping the core and AGP voltages via the BIOS didn't help.

I then bought an Intel D845EBG2L motherboard (that stated AGP 2.0 compliance in the manual in addition to AGP 4X support) and the GF4 Ti4600 ran great :p
