2. ill set my htt back to auto.

3.ive tried the driver thing already.

The drivers decided that the card "crashed" once, then. I've never found any rhyme or reason in those dialogues, anyway.

That's a good thing, though at least you only changed the LDT, and not the reference clock itself.

Completely removed (like, Driver Cleaner removed) them?

And you tried again without the new parts and/or drivers, and it worked. Right?

That's not it.

Checklist. You:
_ Ran memtest86+ though at least four full loops?
_ Ran the prime95 torture tests for 15-20 minutes each (at least)?
_ Tried each piece of hardware on another box, known to be good (or at least thought of it, if you haven't the access)?
_ Removed all the new hardware verified that your video card still works in it's old system?
_ Tested the rails on your PSU?
_ Checked all connections (like, oh, I don't know... you video card's power cable)?
_ Removed any and all trace of the GeForce2 MX what was in your system?
