Well, I guess no one ever figured anyone would be installing a damn nvidia 520 PCI into an ancient socket 7 system, now did they? :laugh: It's an old rig I maxed out just to see if I could, and it actually works pretty good considering. And no, I don't mean 5200, it is indeed a GT 520. This is as old as you can get and still install a modern card. WinXP is also installed.

I attached an error log that generated at crash and a cpu-z report (for specs).

GPU-Z.0.7.3 caused an Illegal Instruction (0xc000001d)
in module nvcuda.dll at 001b:0320b55e.

Now not surprisingly, most of my issues with this old machine come from the cpu being so damn old- no SSE instructions even. This does include the nvidia drivers themselves having issues, (I mean asking this thing to do anything other than display the screen resolution is asking a lot, but the drivers install nonetheless).

But, I figured I'd report it nonetheless. I have a crash dump too, if you'd be interested then let me know. Thanks.

suggests that there is an issue with the NVidia driver (that is called for CUDA detection).

are you on the latest NVIDIA driver?

bonus question: are you confusing CPU-Z and GPU-Z ?

Yep, 331.65 (or if not it's a 331 branch anyway). Last I heard though the nvidia drivers want SSE at least at a minimum, so no chance in hell will they ever be fixing something related to my old AMD k6, and I can't blame them either. (it's a damn miracle I'm not getting issues to the point of not booting by shoving a modern card in a system built in 98)

Nope. CPU-Z runs fine. I just posted the CPU-Z log to get an idea of the system.

There's the GT 520 PCI ^

And for kicks here's the old onboard ATI video on the socket 7 mainboard ^

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATI_Rage

The memory is picked up odd, but it's not like I bought the GT 520 to see the ATI specs. Plus I have the driver for the onboard ATI disabled anyway, so that could even be why. (don't even get me started on the issues with the old onboard, one of which is I can't even disable with a jumper or in the BIOS, so I have to disable its driver)

In short: Very happy! :D
