i have a dell 4600 that came with a nvidia gforce 5200 128 meg graphics card,wich worked fine for awhile..but i needed more so i went and bought a e-gforce 5500 "i know its not much of a step up but its a tad better"i unistalled my previous card and shutdown,removed old card and i then put my new one in, it booted fine and found the card i installed the latest drivers from nvidia and after i installed drivers it wanted to reboot,so i did! but when it goes to restart it gets locked up when your monitor goes to refreshes right before a reboot,so i have to turn it off completely shutdown and power up again to get it to load windows once again.When WINDOWS is booted the card works fine i have "0"bangs on my device manager, all my games work just fine i just cant figure out what is goin on.... whenever i have to reboot my sytem it allways gets locked up..i hope that was enough info for someone to Help me Please "its getting irritating having to shutdown my system everytime i want to do a simple reboot!Please Help?!
I want the money first!!!!!LOL just kidding But that happned to me....I would rollback to the default driver and see if it still freezes....sometimes the drivers could be faulty...
Also try upgrading your drivers from nVidia's website. Maybe your MOBO wasn't "exactly" compatible with that card, but the newest drivers could fix it.
yes yes thank you for the feedback but unfortunately ive done everysingle one of those and it still locks up...the only other solution that i can come up with is that something is wrong with the card itself......i dont know! im going insane!
Why dont u try a older drive i had a 5200 and it had issues with a drive but when i went to look up the other ver. i tried one of them and it work fine ..so uninstall the drive dont let windows up date and try a older ver.
try the last Ver. then keep going back if it does not work ..also i heard the are bios on the video card that can be flash .but i am not to sure on that ...
If you have .Net Framework installed, you can use a program called Detonator RIP from Guru3d.com. Or a program called Driver Cleaner. Uninstall your video drivers. Reboot. Use either of the above programs to completely remove leftover drivers and registry entries. Then, install either 56.72 driver series, or 77.77. They work fine on those GPUs.
you do realise that whoever solves your problem has the right to take you to court over the issue of bring payed the 1,000,000 cuz any offer over the value of 10,000 is actually legally binding, u might wana bear that in mind
ok ok !to all of those that have posted here to indeed help me fix my computer problem i want to appologize, I did not intend to nor do i have that kind of money=).i just needed to post a subject that would be a EYE catcher so im sry to those that have helped only in desperation to phatn their own pockets=)
To get .Net Framework, go to the Windows update site, it will be under the category Software. Version 1.1 is what you are looking for, and after you install it, make sure you go back to the site and get the updates for 1.1.
