In fact, if we carefully analyze the above phenomenon description, it is not difficult to find that when the computer system handles some relatively large game programs, the system often cannot run stably; there are many possible causes of this phenomenon, and different causes of failures need to be solved by different methods. This article specifically summarizes three response techniques below, which can effectively improve the system stability when playing games.
1. Correctly install relevant drivers
For the above configuration, the system instability is likely caused by the installation of the AGP Driver in the VIA 4 IN 1 driver package; theoretically, if the graphics card belongs to the AGP 8X type, then when installing VIA 4 IN 1, we should select the AGP3.0 driver in the driver package; but in fact, the Mingyang MX440 64MB graphics card belongs to the 1.5V AGP 4X type, then when installing the graphics card driver, you should select the AGP2.0 driver. Therefore, in order to make the Mingyang MX440 64MB graphics card work stably, the AGP Driver option must be blocked when installing the VIA 4 IN 1 driver package, because the AGP Driver option specifically supports AGP3.0 specifications.
In addition to ensuring that the graphics card driver and motherboard chipset driver are compatible, we must also correctly install the DirectX 9.0 drivers in the computer system. As long as these drivers are installed, the screen display is smooth when playing game programs such as CS or 3D.
2. Pay attention to the heat dissipation of the graphics card
Generally speaking, gaming programs such as CS or 3D have high requirements for the performance of graphics cards. Graphics cards with relatively high performance are likely to emit a lot of heat after working for a long time. If these heat cannot be emitted from the computer in time, it will cause the graphics card itself to be very high. After reaching a certain level, the graphics card will not work stably. This will easily cause the game screen to be unable to enter, or the game program will automatically close after playing for a period of time, and even the system will crash after not long. Therefore, in order to effectively improve the system operation stability, we must pay attention to the cooling problem of the graphics card, especially when installing various plug-ins, try not to let other plug-ins be close to the graphics card, so as to avoid affecting the air convection speed around the graphics card; if conditions permit, try to buy high-end graphics cards with cooling fans to ensure that the graphics card dissipates well after working for a long time.
3. Pay attention to power supply
If the graphics card has a large running power, the graphics card must obtain sufficient power from the motherboard or computer power supply to ensure that the system is running stably while playing games; so when it is confirmed that the above factors cannot solve the fault of the system running unstable while playing games, the fault is likely to be related to the fact that the computer power supply cannot meet the operating requirements of the graphics card. At this time, the author suggests that you try to adjust the power supply voltage of the graphics card in the BIOS parameter setting interface (before adjusting the power supply voltage of the graphics card, it is best to consult relevant professionals first to confirm whether the power supply voltage of the specified type of graphics card can be adjusted and how large the adjustment is, otherwise the graphics card will easily be burned) to see if the fault phenomenon can be eliminated; if the above fault phenomenon cannot be eliminated, then we might as well replace the power supply of the computer, and consider changing to a power supply with better load capacity and stronger output power. I believe this will probably ensure the stable operation of the graphics card.
