Hey everyone,

I've got an old slim dell vostro 200 with an intel e8600 cpu and 4gb of memory (pretty good specs for a low profile machine to run XP), but I wanted to make sure it could hold up graphically as well in 2000-2006 era games. I have 2 different low-profile variants of NVIDIA's gt 730 (An HP OEM and some other one, both supposedly 2gb), and I attempted installing both into this machine using 3 different driver versions (368.81, 355.98, 347.88, all supposedly for windows xp), and both cards would run a 3dmark06 test great (around 11,700 marks or so), but if I left the demo looping for 30min-3hrs, it would *always* eventually bluescreen saying "The device driver got stuck in an infinite loop", and mention the nv4_disp file. So, I'm pretty confident its not the cards, as I tried two different variants of the gt730, and that it's driver instability... what I can't tell if this is a general windows-xp compatibility issue with these drivers, or if the driver versions are just not great, or if this is the Media Center edition of XP that's the problem.

Has anyone messed around with these cards in the regular 32bit version of windows xp, and had any luck with them? I already have spent 6 hours troubleshooting those drivers, and even tried a radeon hd 5570 in there to make sure I wasn't going crazy (the radeon worked just fine, never blue screened once and ran the demo for 8+ hours). If anyone's got any info that'd help me narrow this down further and keep me from wasting another 5 hours, I'd greatly appreciate it!

Thanks,
