System freezes while running OpenGL applications
 

Hi,

When I run OpenGL applications like chromium, OpenGL Screensavrs, etc. for a considerable amount of time, the system freezes completely. The only way to come out of this is a hard-reboot.

I do not understand where the problem lies(Hardware/Software).

nVIDIA driver - 1.0-8756

VGA Card - nVIDIA GeFORCE MX 4000 64 MB
RAM - 256 MB
CPU - Intel Celeron 2.0 GHz

Please Help Me.

:confused:

Using Slackware 10.2
 

I'm using Slackware 10.2 (if that might help). I have not upgraded any package except that I installed the latest nVIDIA divers.

When the system freezes, I also get a choppy repeated noise from my speakers. Can this be of any help for u guys??

In fact I found a few articles about this problem on the net, but, none of them gave a solution to it. Has anyone using this VGA car, successful in using OpenGL?

Is there no way I can fix this up?

Is there no solution for this. I heard that nVIDIA graphics cards provide the best compatibility with Linux systems. But I'm highly disappointed with this. I had spent $33.36 to get this new card.

I'm throughly disappointed please help. Has anyone been using this card on a Linux platform successfuly?

Plz reply and help me.
