Video Card works with windows drivers Not SolidWorks drivers.
(OP)
I have an engineer who was having problems with the Video card. Every 5 minutes the screen would freeze for about a minute then go back to normal. He has a high end HP workstation running WinXP x64 with 2 gig of ram and SolidWorks 2007 SP2.2. His video card is a Quadro FX 4500/PCI/SSE2. He was using the SolidWorks driver 6.14.10.8167
The following is working for him without any freezing at all. According to SolidWorks RX the current video card driver is 6.14.10.9136 with software OpenGL turned on. The video card is a Quadro FX 4500/PCI/SSE2.
Have any of you seen this?

Yes, the Nviidia active profile set to SolidWorks.

- interrupts
- PCIe transport settings (payload, should be 4096)
- ACPI settings (level of, etc)
These settings can (if incorrect) cause the CPU to be interrupted (waiting for a device to free it) once in x time.
Also try and disable SMART on your sata drives, my Areca RAID controller showed similar 'hickups' with it enabled.
How is the CPU load during that time? (have some program log it to disk, like rivatuner's monitoring features)

I’ve sent the information to the Engineer. I am sure he will do nothing, because it is working. I do not know that much about checking BIOS settings. Does not sound like a user level of checking and resetting. I would give it a try on my machine but not his.

A big star for you, I never realized we should be uninstalling windows drivers before installing new ones. Now I have to convince everyone else here to reinstall their video drivers. At least I have been reinstalled.

The engineer who really started this issue in my first post is still not going to change any of his settings.

Your idea sounded like a good idea. So I set about changing another engineer’s computer which is exactly the same. Purchased the same and setup the same, same SolidWorks approved video card. The video driver did not work at all. Could not even log on. Had to start up in safe mode and rest the driver to the nVidia standard driver. Now it works. Now I have one more person who will not let me reset their video card.
I am going to have to send this one into SolidWorks.

"Now that engineer is not letting me touch his machine"
Whos machine is it ... his or the companys?
Who is the admin person ... him or you?
Are the settings on his machine adversely affecting other users?
... and If they are and things get hosed, who takes the blame?
