Hi all,
I have been checking out your forums and this looks like an awesome community. I'm hoping I can find some help with installing my new graphics card, an 8600GT. Just starting the system from scratch so I played around with it for a few days before I tried putting the new card in. Here was my process:
-Put new card in
-Tried installing drivers from CD and when Autoplay loads the box says "No Suitable Driver"
-Disabled other video in Device Manager, reboot and no effect
-Uninstalled drivers for other video, reboot, no effect
-Tried looking in BIOS for way to disable video, found nothing
-Pulled card out and then put back just to make sure it wasn't a bad connection
So that's where I'm kinda at right now. The computer doesn't read the new card as new hardware at all and even when I try the 'install new hardware' under the CP, it still can't find it. like the card is just invisible, so the install disk will not show any drivers for it, and my guess is that it's an issue with shutting down the onboard in the BIOS. anybody else have any ideas or thoughts that might help? I'll take anything I can get at this point. Thanks a ton!!
