I have an NVidia 6600 GT Graphic Card purchase in 2005
Proble: Monitor shuts down (Freezes) after 35 to 45 mins, after intalling the card.
PC Specification: Windows XP (SP2), Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.00 GHz, 1GB
RAM, 300 Watts SMPS, Intel 945 Chipset Motherboard, Viewsonic LCD
Monitor.
Please solve the above problem!
I never tried playing any games on this card. I work only in Coreldraw, Photoshop, 3D Max, and other graphic softwares.

Hi,
Looks like heat related problem on two possible areas. 1. The LCD monitor itself, probably a cold solder or overheated capacitor either in the power supply or inverter circuits; or 2.
The video card heatsink isn't getting enough ventilation. If it's got a
small blower fan, it might be stuck, burned out or simply clogged with
dust.
You would need to open the units for a look and see.
Hope this be of some help/idea. Post back how things went or should you need additional information.

in windows power settings, you ajust the time the monitor runs and shuts down one setting is do you want the monitor to stop after 5,10 or so mins you answer never that will cure the shut down
well it might be over clocked, but i have a computer with 4 fans and cpu fan and other fans to. though this still doesnt make a difference casue my cpu still heats up. so get a liquid cooling system, expensive i knw but it will keep your computer running, but you coudl also try cleaning you computer out. Like all of the dust and everything

Did you try installing and updating the driver of the graphics card dedicated to the operating system "VISTA" ? Sometimes there is some difference between vista's driver and XP's driver.
