I recently put my old computer parts back together (My original store bought Gateway® GT5464 Desktop minus the sata drive and DVD-R drive) and had the system up and running fine with some worthless nvidia PCI-E card that I used for a day some time ago.
I purchased a new video card for my primary machine, a RADION HD5700, and installed it. I now had a INVIDIA Geforece 8600 that needed a home. This card mind you was installed in my original Gateway machine before...and worked great. I shut down the old PC, installed the card, hit the power button...and all I had was a orange light on my monitor.
I tried everything I could think of, then I re-installed windows and attempted to install the drivers while using the onboard display adapter and I was told there "was no hardware assosiated with the driver software"...or w/e. Device manager isn't finding it either. The card powers up and the fans a blaz'n..but the PC can't see it...why not? Please help.
