GeForce 9600 GT - drivers won't install

ugryz · 11-24-2008, 11:23 AM

Hello everyone!

I've some troubles with my Gigabyte GeForce 9600 GT card. During the installation of the drivers the monitor's getting black (only a small dash is visible) and that's all. Only a reboot helps, but the drivers aren't installed.

edit: I'm working on this configuration:
MSI K9A2 CF, AMD 64 X2 4400, 2GB Ram, Chieftec 450W

Any ideas how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!

in the device manager uninstall the video card
reboot tapping f8 and choose vga mode
when windows finishes rebooting
disable a/virus
install your drivers
reboot the computer

what power supply
brand
wattage

no, it doesn't help. Still the same black screen with the dash. Any other ideas?

This is how the screen looks like after installing the new drivers:

hi ya the PSU you have so so under powered it wont run the 9600GT ,the 9600GT need a 12V rail with 26A and 550W have a look for this one Corsair 650-TX -650 watt

I read the manual and they say, that a PSU with 450W is recommended. That means, that it ist'n necessary, is it?

That's me, once again.
Today i put this video card into an other computer and everything works fine. The drivers installed without problems. I think, that there's something wrong with this MSI motherboard (not compatible?).

the starting point for a pcie m/board is 550w and upwards
whatever the box says for voltage add 50% and you will be in the ballpark
