Did you perhaps uninstall the drivers?

Also, what resolution are you running at? CERTAIN resolutions might be impossible for your card or monitor to be displayed and will cause it to crash.i have this same exact problem.  i have tried nearly EVERYTHING to fix it.  the thing that stumps me most is the fact that the card has this problem is both of my computers.  COULD it be a faulty card?  and if it is faulty then how come it can work at low resolutions?also i forgot to mention, the card however is different.  i own a Geforce 4 Ti4200.  These two cards did come out around the same time though.

i think i might attempt to mess with the card some more on my other computer with more extensive bios options that are not available on the one i tried before.  or possibly try more nvidia drivers.Malcolm.....The motherboard you list appears to have on board video........If you wish to install a plug in vid card you must disable the on board vid or things won't work.....

dl65  You think your mainboard turns off the Onboard video it's self?

Turn it off yourself if you haven't tried yet.

In my Bios (Phoenix) it's under the 'Integrated peripherals' menu.
this is the only options that i have in bois that say anything to do with video

                       PCI/ Plug&Play setup

Title                                                   Options

Plug & Play Aware O/S                    Yes/No
Share Mem Size                               N/A
O/S Control                                     Normal/Japanese O/S
Primary Graphics Adapter                Onboard AGP/PCI
Allocate IRQ To PCI VGA                   Yes/No
PCI IDE Bus Master                          Disabled/Enabled


Which  should i have these set at?Malcolm....Try this .....go "Start"/ "Control Panel"/"System"/ "Hardware"/ "Device Manager"  then select Display adapters.....you should see 2 listed .....the on board one and the new one .....hilight the onboard one and right click and choose disable .....now it should have a red X on it  ......Now shut down restart and things should work fine .

let us know

dl65  the only thing there is Geforce mx4000 I got it working!!

i uninstalled both my chipset driver & agp card's driver then resarted and installed my chipset driver and then the cards driver then restarted and it started to work and thats all i had to do after spending a week looking for the anwser.  

thanks for your help every1Very informative!!!
I'm new at this, but I too had the message from Display that says the adapter type is incorrect, or the current settings do not work with your hardware.
I am trying to get my nvidia Riva TNT2 Model64/Model64PRO File Version 4.14.10.4523 to work.
I understand the adapter you're taliking about is different from mine, but could the direction you give to fix the problem work for the adapter I have?
Thanks in advance !!Let me rephrase that. I was wondering how to uninstall the chipser drivers, and the agp drivers, as Malcolm said in the post before my LAST one. And also to reinstall after uninstalling. If I know how to do that, I think I too may have solved this thing!! Thanks for any help from any of you!!
