Graphics Card Upgrade To GeForce 8800 GT - Mce Won
Mar 23, 2008
I have Vista Ultimate with AM2 Socket, AMD 4400+ dual core processor. I recently upgraded my graphics card from NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS to NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT XXX, and now when I try to watch live TV or record TV or watch shows recorded before the upgrade I get this error: "Video error; Files needed to display video are not installed or not working correctly. Please restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer." I have installed newest drivers for graphics card and tv tuners. Don't know what else to try.

I had my computer repaired a few months ago and since then whenever i open certain programs it tells me that my my video card does not meet the requirements and that i need one that is compatible with DirectX9. I checked display adapters and it says that i have the standard VGA graphics adapter. What can i do to upgrade it?

Upgraded from 7300se to 8600gts, and now using a DVI connection instead of VGA. Used to be able to play DVDs through Media Centre or WMP11, but now I recieve the error C00D1163 - that "there is a problem with digital copy protection between your DVD drive, decoder, and video card". I have the newest nVidia drivers, newest soundcard drivers. Any ideas - I'm using Vista Home Premium 32bit. Oh and DVDs play fine through PowerDVD or VLC, but I want to be able to use Media Centre because I have a remote - and also out of principal that I can't fix it!

I have a NVIDIA GeForce 6600, integrated in a WinFast PX6600TD like this: but with 256Mb. My question is whether I can in the future upgrade my video graphics without removing it? Or do I have to take it out and just buy a complete new one

I run a single BFG 8800 GTS 640mb OC2 in my PC at the minute due to using an EVGA 650i Ultra board - which has a single PCI slot - but have just bought a Asus 680i SLI board, so i'm wondering if it may be time to upgrade from my single card to dual cards?
The 8800 GTS i have is fantastic and i don't really see any problems with it: apart from Crysis and the snow levels that is, but i think everyone has problems with that anyway. I know the 8800 GT cards are the next GPU die (G92) and are cheap enough to justify SLI, but will i see a massive increase over what i'm playing with at the minute? I only usually play at 1280x1024 anyway due to burning out my Gainward Golden Sample 7800 GTX whilst running HL2 at 1600x1200 and so it's better to be safe than sorry (and out of pocket £300!). Also, i'm wondering about power consumption with 2 cards and also the extra heat due to the single slot designs.

I just now decided to join but I've been looking around the forums for a while now as a guest. Recently I was referred to the website laptopvideo2go.com by these forums. I went there and because I had the old factory installed version 98.15 driver for my NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150, I decided to download one of the newer ones. By the way, I have a HP Pavillion dv6000 laptop. The driver that I chose was 7.15.0011.7770. It installed correctly and everything worked fine except for the fact that whenever I logged on, the screen would flash black and the graphics would become distorted and blurry and my desktop icons would look really magnified. But then, a few seconds later, the black screen would flash again and the graphics would go back to normal and everything would Today, however, the graphics did not revert back to normal. Everything stayed really big and fuzzy. I thought that since the driver that I downloaded from laptopvideo2go.com was not digitally signed, or whatever, that it was the problem. So, I went to the HP website and proceeded to download the original NVIDA update (98.15), that I had previously, for my driver.
It installed like normal until it got halfway in the installation loading bar. Then, my computer suddenly restarted itself and said that Windows did not start correctly and gave me the option to run some repair thing. I did, and it couldn't fix anything. So, I restarted again and got the same thing and went into safe mode and uninstalled my driver. Then, I updated the driver with the same 98.15 update and it worked and told me that I needed to restart. So I did and I got the "Windows did not start correctly" message again and I went into safe mode. The driver had not installed and everything was still big and fuzzy. However, the driver was still deleted. So, I restarted again, got the same message, and went into "Last known good configuration" mode, which I am in now. And, of course, the display is still really big and fuzzy. if you select the start normally option instead of the repair option, it will proceed to load with the Windows loading bar but will do that automatic restart thing before it gets to the Windows Vista logo every time. So, it's like a never-ending loop of restarts. I did some research online and I found out nothing, so I guess that my problem is unique. I'd really like to have my computer's original crystal-clear graphics back, but right now the priority is actually getting it to log on.

My system is "Windows Vist Home Premium AMD turion 64 X2, 960 MB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150"... My computer health check always says I need to download the current thing of NVIDIA, which it gives me the link for and says it is an essential download, but then it will not download it, and it will not go away and remains a "critical" pc update needed... which drives me crazy.
My HP Update also scans my computer and recognizes that I need NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 Grapics Driver, but then it will go through downloading the installation package, and then when the setup initiates it says that I do not have the operating system windows vista.
1 Do i have this NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 Graphics Driver as my welcome center in my control panel states, or don't I?
2 if I don't have it, how do I get it
3 if I do have it, how do I make it stop coming up in my PC Health Check as a critical thing, and stop coming up on my HP Update???

I have a HIS ATI Radeon HD 4870x2 Graphics card I am getting very poor gpu clock and memory speeds on both cores of my graphics card. at both 3D and 2D mode, using GPU-Z 0.3.0.0 and ati 8.12 catalyst control center I know that in 3D mode it should be at 750MHZ and 900MHz and 2D at 507MHz and 500MHz(2gpu). I have un-installed and re-installed the 8.12ccc with no change at all, also using driver cleaner(in safe mode) when un-installing. I get no arifacts as I use ExpertTool V4.0, enable fan contol for cooling while playing games. Its just the card will not run at its full potentuall or how it should.

I'm looking to invest in a new graphics card i have a max of about £130 i want to spend but there are a few issues first off, my pc comes with a ****ty dell 350w PSU which has one graphics power connector now i did a PSU calculator with the card i want to buy>>Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4870 1GB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Cardand it says it should come under 350 but i would like your opinions. Also is that the best card i can get for the cash? i would prefer ATI but would be willing to go over to Nvidia. i currently have a HD radeon 2600 XT which is a slim one, depth wise anything would fit, but i think a longer card would have a hard time fitting.

I have a 2 year old XFX GeForce 8600 GT PCIE 16X that Im trying to install in a new computer with vista 64 and on board ATI radeon HD 3200. The first couple times i tried it, after install, i got no graphics at all, until i removed the card. After going into the BIOS, and changing the "displayPort Config" from Auto to Enabled, the on board graphics would work with the card installed, but not the card graphics. When i try to load the supplied drivers I get this message "The VGA detected seems not XFX's product. please go to nvidia.com to get the driver for the other NVIDIA VGA."
I dont understand that, but i then downloaded updated drivers from Nvidia, but when i try to install them, i get an assortment of error messages, including "The Nvidia setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware", "you are running a 32bit version of nvidia uninstaller on a 64bit system", "setup detected the operating system in use is not windows vista 64bit" these errors seem to contradict themselves.
Is it possible this card is not compatible with the computer? The card may be bad, as my old PC lost graphics, but the geek squad (a bunch of morons by the way) swapped cards and still no graphics and said my MoBo was bad, so i just got new PC, but woudl like to use this card , as I assume its better than the included built in graphics. Going into the MoBo users guide, it doesnt cover switching from on-board graphics to PCI slot, other than describing how to configure the BIOS settings for the graphics card to support ATI Hybrid CrossFireX. I tried that, but it didnt seem to do anything either. im guessing the ATI contol center software doesnt show the enable CrossFire option without a CrossFire compatible card installed, or i didnt install the drivers correctly for that function.

Whenever I'm chatting on IMVU, or doing anything which requires lot of 3D, my screen flickers 2 or 3 times, I see everything freezed, the screen turns black, and then most of the time, after a while, it turns back and gives me a balloon message on the taskbar that the graphics' driver stopped responding and is restored.
It happens a lot.
And it gives on my nerves a lot, because when the screen returns, all 3D using programs are not responding anymore, untill I try to close it, and tell Windows Vista to wait untill it responds, then it takes about a minute or 2 to see motion again.
Sometimes the error doesn't happen at all. Sometimes it happens every 5 minutes. And I even had a blue screen once.
The only thing I was able to read was that the graphics' driver stopped responding and Windows was unable to restore it.
I tried reinstalling the driver.
I own the newest version of the driver, so update is not possible.

Now i've installed Vista Home Premium 32-bit onto the system, but it will not detect the graphics card at all. Although i have got a display (Motherboard does not have on-board). I've tried using the driver disk supplied with the card, but it always tells me to go to the XFXForce website, so i do and download their drivers and install but CCC does not appear to get installed. I've tried the card in another Vista 32-bit System and it gets found and drivers install nicely and the card works fine. Is there anything wrong that i'm doing??

I just installed the new GTA IV on my computer. I have a notebook with the required performance, Processor (1.8 GHz required, 2.0 GHz Owned) graphics card (256 MB Required, 384 MB Owned) and plenty of RAM (4 GB) but when the game loads, it says there is not enough video output to run the game. I have looked into why and I found the problem and was wondering if anyone could help. The problem is in the graphics memory usage. It says that 128 MB goes toward dedicated memory and 256MB goes towards shared memory. I was wondering if it were at all possible to make all of the video memory go towards the dedicated memory because in the game it says it is only getting the dedicated memory? I tried looking in BIOS to switch all of it to dedicated memory but was unsuccessfull in my attempts.

I know that some graphics cant be removed if they are integrated, but most of the cards I have seen don't specify whether they can be changed. Can the Intel GMA 4500 be changed? (any model of it e.g. 4500, 4500MHD. Can the Ati Radeon HD 3200 be changed?

hey, i upgraded my graphics card (ATI HD3850) on my computer and it works fine but i no longer have sound on my computer. i tryed updating the drivers and changing the settings and still no sound. when i take out the graphics card i have sound again. i asked bestbuy and they said that i shorted out something on the motherboard, i told them that when i take the card back out i have sound again and they were clueless about what to do. nobody that i've talked to has ever heard of this happening. they said it seems like a driver conflict and to upgrade the drivers, but that didn't work. does anyone have any ideas?

I havent been on these forums in a while, which is good becuz it means i have had no problems but... i want a new graphics card becuz my intel card doesnt currently support the detail i want it to.
I currently have the Moblie intel(R) 965 express chipset family, but it doesnt support lighting detail on a game i play. its browser based, and the tech forums for that game says its my graphics card. I am awaiting full confirmation as of yet. Until then, i would like a nvidia graphics card series 6 or upwards, and i am looking to pay £50 so i dont think i am gonna get the 9 series

I recently built my first desktop with the help of a neighbor that knows alot about computers. Anyways, I have an ASUS M2N-VM DVI motherboard, AMD Athlon 64 x2 6400 Dual-Core Processor, 4 GB Ram, 22" DCLCD LCD monitor, and a Geforce 8800 GTX graphics card and a 500 watt-power supply. When ever I would try to play games that require alot of graphics, my computer would start to slow down in even repetitions and only when I played games. Even games like Sim City 4 and Command and Conquer Generals would slow down! I thought it could have been my power supply, because it requires at least 450 watts to use and I read that my processor uses about 125W. I then recently purchased an 800 Watt BFG power supply thinking it might help the problem, but it still slows down!
