My newly bought Radeon 9550 256MB Video Graphics Card Won't Work. I'm only a beginner at setting computers up because I am primely a gaming freak. My computer's
1. Monitor may be too old... made for Windows 95.
2. I might have to install the new video graphics card as my primary one. (I am trying to figure out how to do)
3. Uninstall previous video graphics cards?
I bought a Visiontek ATI Radeon X1300 512MB graphics card last night and I can't get it to work. No display shows up on my monitor. This card needs an additional power supply which I have supplied (i.e. used one of the extra power plugs from the power supply in my computer). It sounds as if my computer keeps restarting, but can't say for sure since the screen remains black. It works fine when I put back in my old ATI Radeon 9200 series card, but if I try the new card, NOTHING!!! If anyone has this card and has had the same problem, please give me the solution to fixing this.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a bit of a problem, for some reason my system is showing "unknown" in my device manager, the only hardware that has been installed on this system is a new video card, (radeon HD5570) that seemed to go in without a hitch. Simultaneously, with this appearing I started having issues with windows media player not play .mod files, using web help it says that I need to update my audio drivers, but according to Dell they are good. Would really like some help with this.

I ordered a brand new pc - Ath 64 X2 4600+ CPU, 1 GB RAM, 400GB SATA, 256MB 7900GT, 19" TFT, 16x DVDRW-DL, Running Mcafee Antivirus / Ad-aware, I originally had problems when my Graphics card wouldn't work. I installed some older versions of the drivers and it was working okay. Then I had some problems with some dll files and i couldn't open Windows due to the system/config error at start up. I managed to repair that installation. THe next day, my PC would not boot and I could not repair it. I then found out, i had bad sectors on the Hard disk so i tried formatting it

View 2 Replies View RelatedRecently I was playing a game, when my screen froze. I then shut my computer down to restart it, used it a few times (in 4-bit safe mode), then after I shutdown again, I cant log back in... it just freezes and the screen flashes, I cannot boot into my computer setup (default f2) or into safe mode (default f8), however I can run the XP cd and get into the recovery console, is there any way that I can change the boot sequence from the recovery console? The screen is dotted with a bunch of dots up and down the screen in columns, and is in 4-bit video mode.
I have a Dell xps gen 5 with xp home.
the error I get is:
"Error: Cant enter setup. Video Mode 103 not supported by this video card."
I hooked up my Xbox to my PC to play online using my monitor, only to find out that my NVidia Geforce4 Ti 4200 can only display a max resolution of 720x480 through my capture software, and this ain't good enough for me. Does somebody know of any specific card/adapter TV Tuner that has an S Video input and could give me resolution over 1024 pixels under $100.

I don't have this problem on my other 2 computers and nothing is new on this one that I haven't done to the other ones, when I run some clean up tools or install new software programs usually all the computers are done alike so the computer I am on is the only one having the problem with the same web site.
View 12 Replies View RelatedWhen first booting the system it gets to a windows screen and reboots - ad infinitum. When booted in "safe mode" it reads several files (in DOS - I think) and stops on reading a path on the "C" drive ending with something like ...../AGP 440 or ..../AGP 44? (or something smilar).
Do you think it is looking for graphics drivers?I have gone into the BIOS set up to change from a PCI graphics card to the on-board, and there appears to be no PCI card.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI was wondering this computer stays on all the time. I just put a new hard drive in and put the operating system on with the recovery cds. everything works great except for one problem. now 2 or 3 or 4 times a day when you use the computer, and no matter what you leave on when you walk away, like word or a site on the internet whatevert it may be and when you come back the screen is black and the error box that says no signal is on the screen. I made sure the graphics card has the newest driver, and the monitor is pretty new flat screen and always work well. I changed the monitor cable since it was saying no signal I figured it really had to be one of two things, either the monitor cable or the graphics card. My question is do you agree and will a graphics card do that when it is going out? will it work ok when you start the computer and then after awhile get no signal?
