Niander · 02-06-2007, 04:33 AM

Hi guys i can't get my Geforce 7800 gsoc working
when im putting in the drivers the fan seems to rev up and down and eventually the screen goes blank
i dont have a problem with my ati card
ive tried different drivers
even had it replaced but the new one does the same!! :/
when i first got this card it worked GREAT so i know my system can run it i was on a dodgy copy of xp pro
then i got genuine xp home ...and it dont work anymore!
one thing is when i reinstalled my m/b cd was broke!?!?

[jetway S755MAX] could it be the drivers for m/b?
hope you can help...cheers

Hi,

Yes, it could be drivers, but another thing you said that might be the problem is that you had one working, then put the other one in. Did you delete the old card items in device manager BEFORE you put in the new card.....that is a must for it to work correctly.

hi yes i removed the old cards drivers first
even tried a format also
recomended min psu is 400 watts mine was 300 got a 400 and still no luck
it worked realy well when i first got it...and then like i said changed from pro to home and it just wont work!
which drivers would i need from jetway plz

sis ide driver
onboard sis 180 SATA driver
agp port VXD driver

do i need the agp port VXD driver?

anyone know where i could get a driver disc from?

getting to the stage for a new M/B tbh...cheers

Hi,

Recommended 300 or 400 watt doesn't tell us much. It is the amperage of such cards that tells us something. Why not list the brand name and wattage of the power supplies you are trying and look on the side and list amps per rail for the +12 volt rail. (That would be on the side of the power supply) That way, we can look up the power supply efficiency and those details that will tell us a lot more.

hi the card is BFG and needs min 400 w psu/with 12v current of 20 amps or more
erm looking at my new psu = 12v current only 12 amps...oops
maybe thats it then ?

Hi,

Nice call. You do see where I am coming from on this issue. Like putting a VW engine in a large fire truck. Let us know if we can help further and when you get a minute....before you correct that issue, be sure to read the power supply information under my signature area so you make an informed decision about what to purchase.

yah i am going to say you bought a cheap psu (mine has 19 amps on a 300watt)

Niander · 02-06-2007, 12:53 PM

Hi guys well its been a while i know but now i gota better psu[tagan] and it gives enough power but my card still wont work in my system.

my system did work with it when i first got it.
but i formated and when it came to reinstall m/b drivers my CD was cracked..:(
so i can download drivers...

after i tryed installing driver i got these errors
