new Video Card loses sync on ME
I have a compaq presario with a 2x AGP nVidia Vanta based
card that I am trying to upgrade. I bought a nVida GeForce FX 5200 PCI card and plugged it in (to one of my scarce PCI slots, unplugging the AGP). The computer detects the card and then the monitor, I load the drivers and all is well at 640x480x16 colors, but soon as Windows loads at anything else it goes through the Windows Logo screen, flashes the Background text window then the Monitor drops back to Stand-by and I have to reboot blind. I have tried my darndest to delete the existing drivers, do I have to do this file-by file or is there an easier way? Would manually deleteing incompatable lines in the Card's registry settings stop windows from using these? Should I just take the card back and part-swap it on a new motherboard? Any help appreciated. |
