5200fx Td128

Question

Well I bought two of these cards, one for each of my computers. I didnt want to spend much on graphics cards, I never have and never will. Actually display wise and fps they do good enough for me. I would be completely happy with them except for the fact that on each computer they crash in diffrent ways.
I've done a search and have read many solutions to these problems and tried them all, except the ones that require buying a new PSU (if someone tells me to do so I will). I have also tried installing every graphics driver Nvidia has ever made just about.
If it helps the two current games they crash on are Final Fantasy XI and NeverwinterNights.
Computer #1 After about 2-20 minutes of playing ( either game) I get a BSOD that tells me "a device driver has cause this problem". Ive tried just about everything on these boards except getting a new PSU.All my drivers are fully updated.

I would rather not hear
-"why did you buy a 5200 if you play games, dont you know they suck?"
-- I keep up with everyone else in online games just fine thank you very much ( when I am not crashing) Just because it is a low end card doesnt mean it should have NO stability.
A helpful response would be appreciated greatly, if there are none I will just return the cards and get diffrent ones. ( and bad mouth MSI VGAs for the rest of my days eheh)
Good Day to you

Answer 1

I don´t think the power supply is faulty. I own a 300 W NOGA (unknown) PSU and it works flawlessly with my AMD system and FX 5200 card
What versions of the card do you own? The red one with cooler or the green one without cooler? It may be that with the green one, the GPU is working too hot and hangs the computer, specially if you are in summer season (I didn´t look for where you come from to know the season).
Ignore the people that tell you that FX 5200 sucks , owners of this card should know that for the amount of money FX 5200 owners have spent, usually know that this card is not a super fast card, it is a budget oriented card!!! and I think it performs quite good for the money I have spent.
