Guys I truly need help

I bought new graphic card GeForce 9800 gt 512mb. I have core2duo 2.6, motherboard Intel Foxconn, 2gb ram memory and 420w power supply.
I'm running Win Vista. After installing drivers for it, I started game in full screen. After some 10 min I got blue screen and my PC restarted itself.
I remove my drivers in safe mode (because I could not start my OS).
Problems still exists and I formatted my OS. Afer that I installed new drivers from nvidia site for same graphic card and when I entered full screen mode of a game I got blue screen again.
Now my Win Vista is a clean copy, and I cant even boot up, I get stuck in loading to the operating system. I dont know what to do!
Do I have bad graphic card or my drivers are old?
Because I have fresh copy of Vista and I even cant boot up??
Thank you!

Find out more about your power supply. If it is a unit that came with your computer or case, it most propably just simply is insufficient for the new graphics card. Instructions: open your case. Either list all the info on the power supply sticker, or only these: Maker, model, amperages on the 12V rails. OR take a picture of the sticker and post it here.
Other than that... Did you surely download the Vista drivers? Dumb question, I know. Also, did you use this system without this graphics card before? Try to run it without the new card.
Worst case scenario: the power supply was insufficient and the unstable power current damaged your motherboard, hard drive, CPU, RAM, or any combination of these. Plus possibly your graphics card of course.

Currently my case is at my distributer. But also I tried the card at my friend pc wich he has 550w power suppy. Same thing happen. Blue screen and restarting.
So according to that my pc is ok, maybe supply is enough (420w)?
But maybe card is not good or there are problems with drivers.
I cant get how its possible that I could not start my vista even after deleting drivers from the card. Also after fresh copy.

If you damaged the card with your insufficient power supply, it's not going to work in any other machine with sufficient power either.
But really try the machine with integrated or other low-power grpahics card and see if it boots.

BG-0 local distributer for my pc tried everything

They installed new copy of Vista, and even again BSOD appear

They told me that 9800 gt 1gb is not compatible with my Vista and there is no solution. Actually they change the power supply to 600w one and again same.
I dont know hows this possible? There is no solution actually their opinion is that drivers are not compatible with my OS??
How is this possible? Isnt new cards made for Vista?
Please I want to hear what you will say, what to tell them?
If I install XP than will I be able to use that card? And is there and other way for solution with Vista? Thank you

LOL. Retarded storepeople telling fairytales to gullible customers. Of course 9800 GT is compatible with Vista. Drivers for 64-bit: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvist...0.48_whql.html and 32: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvist...0.48_whql.html
Ask them to actually test the card in a system where there's a quality 600W or more power supply and where they know a 9800GT works, see if your power supply broke it. If it did, then it's time for a new card, unfortunately.

Well look, I will try with XP. Maybe that will work. Because maybe drivers are not stable with Vista. Or solution to try with another card like ATI.

BG-0 · 16-Dec-2008, 01:06 PM #8

Gosh. The card is most propably broken because of your previous, crap quality low-power power supply. Just deal with it. Drivers aren't your issue. There are thousands and thousands of people using that card on Vista with no crashes at all.

damn I dont think its power supply becasue this is second card that they tried. First one was 512mb this one is 1gb. Same problem. They tried new one with 600w first!

Hmh. Might be the PCI-E 16x slot burnt, too...

Superviosr · 16-Dec-2008, 02:59 PM **#11**

LOL nothing is burned but drivers are bad. I will try with another one from nvidia and galaxy site, and I will install XP, update of bios too and thats my final word before new one maybe ATI.

Damn you're stubborn. Good luck....

Superviosr · 16-Dec-2008, 03:22 PM **#13**

And you are just a kid damn. Dont try to tell me that my hardware is burned ok?
I'm reading now that with Geforce 9 series goes from 400w power supply and thats tested with core2duo extreme X***, wich I have core2duo E6600. So its a software problem!!
Bye

baka...
Watts mean absolutely nothing in power supplies(and there's a long story to be told in addition to that but I won't bother enymore) but go ahead and be a moron and assume you know everything. Spend a lot of money on this in vain and then blame everyone else than yourself. Job well done.
