Currently I'm running a Nvidia 9800gt, I would like to upgrade to one of Nvidia's new cards, I have no idea if my motherboard would support one of the newer cards, because I received my computer from Dell/QVC. Is there anyway short of opening up my computer that I can find out if my mb will support a newer card.
View 5 RepliesI have recently upgraded from XP SP2 to VISTA 32. Both Vista DVD Maker and AERO are not funtional and Vista tells me its due to using a NVIDIA Geforce4 MX4000 graphics card, so I need to replace it...Not knowing too much about this sort of stuff, I have found a AGP FX5500 in a local store and I wonder if it would be OK ? Or should I go for something with a little more 'grunt'? The PC is used mainly for photo editing and burning video to DVD, very little gaming, attached are my specs.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a program which can tell me which pc games I can or cannot play. It will run through my computer system and show me the list, which I pass and which I do not.

View 9 Replies View RelatedSince I have upgraded the PC to Vista, I cannot use anymore WinTV-HVR-1300 (PCI) (Same issue with PCTV Dual hybrid - PCI-Express). Vista simply hangs while booting, the last driver loaded is crcdisck.sys. If I remove the WinTV card Vista works perfectly. With WinXP all was working fine. I tried to remove all the cards from the PC... the issue happens when I insert the WinTV or the PCTV card... Of course I also tried to change some settings in the BIOS without success.

I have been using an SD card in my laptop for portable storage for ~6 months. Suddenly, I have started getting an error message saying that "Disk is write protected." The tab on the SD card is in the unlock position. I have tried using the properties window to change it but their is no option to change it from Read Only or Change Permissions. If I click on a folder on the SD card and try to change it via the Properties Windows the window says that it is "Read Only" but when I uncheck "Read Only," it says I can't
because the disk is Read Only. And again I can't find any option to change
ownership or permissions.

This morning I was able to access my SD card for my camera with no problem. But then all of a sudden I went to download some pictures that I had taken afterwards and the computer doesn't recognize the card. When I unplug it from the reader it does the ejection sound but when I plug it in it gives an error sound (three small low grade beeps). I put the SD back in my camera and the pictures are still there. Why is Vista not recognizing the card all of a sudden?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIn the not to distant future, I plan to change my 8800 GTS 640 card to an AMD 4800 series card. I'm currently running Vista 64. I'm concerned that I'll run into a whole host of problems and will end up just reformatting my C drive and starting with a fresh install of V64 with the new card already installed. Can anyone share their experience? I'm sure someone has successfully made the N to A transition.

View 5 Replies View Relatedmy gfx card temps are a little worrying. Playing a company of heroes 40 minute long game with 8 players on a large map, my temps go up to about 80c. But it always idles around 70c even when ive just turned my pc on. even the gt200 cards get a lower idle reading than this, and mines only an 8800gts 512card. I dont think its a stuck sensor either, because if i open up my pc, i cant even touch the heatsink because its so hot.
