What's in the rest of the machine?
Just like we read at http://www.tomshardware.com/howto/20040122/ many change video cards, add this or that as well as the power supply ages and then they are caught in a vicious spiral of blaming drivers, reloading windows or more.
In short, the number of 1+GHz machines I've fixed by simply upsizing the power supply is nothing short of amazing. There is no reason to shortchange the power since 450 Watt PSUs are 15 to 30 bucks.

I have a geforce2 mx400 and I can only get into safe mode because when I go into the normal settings the windows loading screen locks up..this doesn't happen with my pci video card..
