I am having problems with the new card that I purchased. It’s an X1950Pro made by HIS. Basically what’s happened is that when I tried doing the drives the way the instructions say to do it, when everything was done installing, the computer froze except for being able to move the mouse and then the monitor went black. The computer was still on and running, but the monitor’s led was blinking like the computer was off. I had to crash the computer in order to get it to reboot. I turned the computer back on and was never able to get the monitor to show a picture.
I put my old card back in and just let windows give it drivers. I uninstalled all software that had to do with ATI, including the drivers.
More info to come, went over 1000 words.|||So it will show video when you first turn the computer on, but once it gets into windows, there is no video?
Most likely the issue is that the monitor will not support either the resolution or the refresh rate that the video card outputs.
Try booting into VGA mode. To do this you would hit the "F8" key a few times before the "Windows XP" splash screen shows up on the computer. From there select "Enable VGA mode". What this does is sets both the resolution and the refresh rate to default levels.
If the monitor still does not display anything, try the other DVI port on the back of the card. If you still get nothing, try another monitor (preferably a newer one).
If that still does not work, try installing the card on a different computer.
Basically you are just trying to isolate the problem. If it still does not work on another computer, then there is definitely an issue with the card itself. All card manufacturers have at least a 1 year warranty on their cards, all you should have to do is go to the HIS website and go to warranty and follow their directions.|||did you comepletely uninstall the drivers for you old card first? this happened to me once when i replaced a card. Make sure you uninstall your old drivers then shut down system. Put in new card then install new drivers for new card...should work, if not could be bad card.

My new video card wont work?
Hi, i just got a ati radeon 9250 graphics card and plugged it in to my qdi p41865pe novo mainboard. ive plugged it in and started my pc but there is no picture on the screen. i no the video card works cuz i tried it on my other pc. any ideas???? |||Correct drivers are a must, as well as making sure you test the direct x within your system. often running the direct x setup can detect any errors you may have missed.
If you have but one pci slot and your card is agb then of course the card would not work on your system. make sure you compare the two cards before installing. Does both "tin locations" appear the same?..
Also if your system can allow for multiple cards at one time, this could be an easy way to add a new card while still having your setting viewable on the other screen.|||Check and see if the Slots are the Same. They might be different. If not, visit a PC shop with the PC and the Card, they'll tell you what's the problem.

New Video Card Install Help?
I currently have GeForce 6600 AGP video card in my computer and over the weekend i notice that the fan fell off on the card so its time to get a new one so im gonna get a GeForce 7600GS 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X, now do i need to uninstall anything or can i just unplug the old video card and then plug the new one in?
Thanks|||You can just replace it, it will use the same driver set. I do recommend getting the latest drivers and installing them.|||Although it is not necessary - It will help prevent any errors, uninstall all of the video drivers before removing the original card.
Just go to your "device manager" and uninstall your 6600..
Then pull it out and plop the other one in (while the computer is off obv.).|||You could unistall the old software but you do not need to. You should be able to just put in the new video card and it will start working right away. (may have to install the drivers that came with it though.)|||Just unplug the old one, then plug the new one in and remember to plug the VGA cord into the graphics card one as if you plug it into the intergrated one, nothing will change.
Maybe you gota install it with the CD that comes with it but there should be a manual in there if you have any trouble|||It would be a good idea to uninstall it, because that will give you no room for error when the new one is installed. I would uninstall it. There is no sence in taking a chance with the new video card, because they are not cheap by any means.|||the card will most likely have a cd with the drivers for the 7600....before you install the new card delete your drivers for the 6600....put the new 7600 in and then run the cd to install the new drivers......then go to the nvidia site and see if there is a newer version of your driver....if so down load and install it....most of the time the drivers on the cd are old....
or you can do it this way...download the new drivers for the 7600 from the nvidia site to your desk top....before you swap out the cards delete the 6600 drivers....shut down and install the 7600 and then fire up your pc.....now the new drivers are on your desktop...just click on the icon and install the drivers......

I bought a new mother board, with new video card, and memory. When i start the computer nothing comes?
on the screen and computer shuts off sometimes after 5 seconds whats wrong|||Needs more more information to make a 100% accurate solution.
But here are some guesses.
1. Do you have a heatsink on your processor (usually metal fins with a fan attached) If you don't the motherboard will beep loudly at you on bootup after about 5 sec and shutdown (will only beep if the MoBo has a speaker.)
2. Your memory may not be compatible speed with your board. Be sure to read the specifications on the MoBo and see if your memory is compatible. (example: you may have PC4200 sticks (usually the cheapest) and your board may only support PC5400 sicks, its all in the reading)
3. There could be other compatibility issues. If thats the case, i need more info to tell you whats up.|||Its possible that your power supply isn't strong enough. Hard to tell based on this information. Please post system specs.

When I get a new video card what drivers and other things do I need to uninstall?
First, uninstall your current video card drivers. Then shut off your computer, then install your video card. Then boot in safe mode and install the drivers for your new video card, and then you're done! Although booting in safe mode is the best way to do it, you don't HAVE to. I was lazy and just booted it up regularly then installed the new drivers and worked just fine.
Do I need a new video card?
I asked a question yesterday and it didn't really help me so I decided to give the specs of my laptop and the game so maybe somebody can pinpoint what it is. The problem is, like the textures are rubbing in so I can't see my character and it's just a smudge of all these colors.
My laptop is a Acer 5335 with 2g DDR and an 732mb Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M. The CPU is an Intel Celeron 585[2.16GHz, 667 MHz FSB, 1 MB L2 cache]
On the game it requires an Intel Pentium 800 MHz with 133 MHz front side bus. It takes up 256mb RAM. On the video card it says an DirectX 9.0 compatible 32 MB AGP video card supporting hardware transform and lighting using NVIDIA Geforce, ATI Radeon or more recent chipset.
So what do I need, a new video card? If so, can you help me locate one. Thanks alot.|||you can't upgrade laptops except ram,hard drive and dvd drive|||You can't change the video device in a laptop|||You can't do it. If you didn't buy a laptop with a dedicated graphics card (not integrated graphics like the GMA 4500), it'll never have one. It doesn't have a slot for it.

Installing a new video card into a Dell Optiplex GX270.?
I am trying to install a new 3DFORCE FX 5200TV video card into my Dell Optiplex GX270. If I install the card before installing the drivers, the monitor doesn't display anything. If I try to install the drivers first, the program that installs said drivers doesn't see the video card and hence cannot match a driver with it. It doesn't matter if I plug in the monitor to the old or the new video card, it doesn't show anything at all. The booklet tells me I may need to disable the old video card (as It cannot be removed, being attached to the motherboard) before installing the new one. I don't know how to do this. Is there anyone out there that could offer a suggestion that doesn't involve taking my computer to a shop which I cannot afford. Please help!|||Boot into the BIOS (press F2). Make sure Primay Video Controller is set to AGP. Save and shut down your system. Install the new AGP card. Restart. You should be good to go.
Good luck.|||If you have backed up your files you can do this:
1. Take out your hard drive and take it and install into a friend's computer and format the hard drive.
2. Keep the computer stock, don't put in the new graphics card.
3. Reinstall all necessary software and drivers BUT the graphics card and motherboard.
4. Install the new graphics card and install the drivers for it.
5. Keep your fingers crossed, hope it works.
Oh, and if you haven't backed up your files, use your friend's computer to do that too.|||Okay, go into the BIOS setup program, hit F1 if you need help with a highlighted function and locate Integrated video.
You'll have to disable it, save, reboot and shut off the computer and install the card.
Mine automatically finds the card and shuts out the integrated one.
Look it up on youtube, post a video if necessary asking for help or how to disable the integrated video card.
