I recently installed a new graphics card and from day one i have had nothing but crashes when trying to play sl....my old graphics card was a zotac NVIDIA GeForce GT 320 1 GB memory.....it had no trouble what so ever playing sl even on ultra settings but i always kept it on high setting when in game i would go to preference and adjust the setting...it finally died on me after five yrs so i bought a new one which is a view max NVIDIA GeForce GT 720 2 GB DDR3 Memory Code name F-16 Fighting Falcon Edition ....as soon as i installed it i downloaded the latest drivers for it and went into sl but i can only be in sl from 15 sec. to 25 sec. and if i am really lucky 10 min as long as i stand still and not move around or leave my home...if i go anywhere at all i get a lot of lag then my avi and all other items turn red then the background would turn solid white then i would get a black screen then after it recovered i will get the message that my browser has stopped responding and a second message at the bottom of the screen that nvidia graphics has stopped responding and has recovered then im back at my desktop i have chatted with NVIDIA and they had me do numeral things like uninstall and reinstall then change settings and still the same thing so then they gave me a link to a stress test which took an hour and it passed the test so they did not know what to tell me so they asked was there any thing else they could help me with i said no and they ended the chat so i went and downloaded another stress test which did a burn in test ...it passed ...but i still have the same problem i have tried the sl browser i have also tried firestorm browser i have tried going to preferences and set the graphics to low ...still the same thing ...on med low ..same...med...same so on and so on and if i stay in one spot at home and try and IM a friend it seems like even an IM will cause the issue i have googled it and tried everything that i found and still the same problem why is it that a GeGorce GT 320 can play sl and a GeForce GT 720 cant keep me in the game long enough to do anything ?.....my system specs are ......Processor Intel core duo E5300 2.6 GIG not overclocked never has been , 3 GIG system Memory , Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit , and for graphics i use the View Max NVIDIA GeForce GT 720 , my power supply is 600 watts ..... i have tried just about everything and still cant get it to work every time the game browser will crash and i will get the message's ....im not all together sure where they came up with the code name F-16 Fighting Falcon Edition right at the moment i feel its a WWII Spitfire Edition .. i have been fighting this issue for several weeks now maybe i wasted my money on this graphics card i dont know ....maybe its a browser issue or both i have never uninstalled and reinstalled so many things in such a short time is there anyone that can help ? will it help to upgrade to windows 10 ? i never had this problem with the old 320 but for some reason since i installed the 720 suddenly i have these issues ..the on board graphics is barely compatible and will not let me travel in sl but at least it did not do this..... so how can a graphics card that is an old GeForce GT 320 run sl like its nothing and a GeForce GT 720 cant ? i asked linden labs they gave me some pointers and after letting them know it did not work they suggested i try here ...i am not sure what to do about the problem , i am including screen shots so to give an idea of what i am having to deal with :-/
