i just bought a nvidia 6800 and i cant get it to work! Its 128mb ram. I have:
Compaq Pesario 6430nx
XP Home Edition SP2
AMD Athlon XP 2800+@2.13Ghz MMX,3DNow
Phoneix-Award Bios v6.00PG
512mb PC2700 Corsair Ram
Directx 9.0c
S3prosavageDDR(32mb)
After I disabled the onboard i switched the bios to AGP. I put the card in and boot up windows i got to the desktop and found new hardware but almost everytime i try to install the drivers the screen goes black or comp restarts. If the drivers do install the screen will either go black after boot screen or the desktop will be back in the VGA standard and the windows wont have installed the card. Tried all kinds of drivers any help would be good just about read to break the thing. Almost forget this the first card i've ever install kinda new to it maybe im doing something wrong or maybe its just fried :knock:
