What did you have previously? If the old drivers weren't completely uninstalled then that could be causing the problems you're experiencing.

I had a gf4 mx 440 64mb

What drivers were installed previously?

theTINman333 · 01-19-2006, 10:28 PM

heres a little update for you I got it working just fine after I had to fix a windows system file but what I had to do was reinstall the motherboard drivers and thats when i started having moe problems. now when I boot up I can login but if its on its highest resolution and color then it freezes right when everything starts to load, but the lower the resolution and color the longer the time it will take before it freezes. so there has to be some conflict btwn the motherboard and its drivers and the videocard and its drivers. plz help if you know anything

what is your power supply rated, and what brand? If it's not big enough, it can cause all sorts of probs.

look at the label on the side of the power supply
how many amps on the +12v line[s],it may not be putting out enough

theTINman333 · 02-07-2006, 11:43 AM

it says +12 =15A and -12 =.8A

dai · 02-07-2006, 11:51 AM

see if you can borrow a supply that puts out a mim of 18a on the 12v line,to put in and see if the problem is fixed
