gc prob

[Mr anderson]

im have just put a new graphic card into my pc and it wont load past the main boot screen and i get a ddr 400 error? any ideas?

What model of graphic card and what is your motherboard model? AGP or PCI-E? Is it the correct voltage card for your motherboard? Did you uninstall your old video card drivers before changing cards? If not, it may be trying to use the wrong drivers.

Not sure about the DDR 400 error. Does it share memory with your RAM memory?

Model is xpertvision fx5500, drivers were taken out. but as soon as i take the graphics card out and boot from my on board graphics, it works great. also its a AGP graphocs card.

Disable onboard graphics in BIOS , boot pc with new GC, windoze should ask for driver cd to install...

Its :

A: Disable onboard video , set to agp slot , save changes
B: As system gose to reboot , turn off , remove power lead , disconnect vga cable
C: Insert new graphics card , connect vga cable to new card , reconnect power lead , and turn pc back on
D: When windows ask's for drivers , tell it to get lost
E: Insert driver's disc for graphics card , and install
F: Reboot to apply changes ... done .

Best to download the latest drivers from chipset manufacturer ... nvidia .

Problems with video playback and games can appear when drivers on cd supplied are out of date and not current ... or stupid manufacturer of card supplies "developers" drivers instead .

They supplied my card with "pci-e developers" instead of those for "agp" .
