Hi, I recently got a new system.
It is working well until I try to install my graphics card, a 9800 pro.
These are its specs:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dimension (L)300*(W)200*(H)185 2.85Kg (N.W.) 4.65Kg (G.W.)
Front Panel USBx2 Line-out/Headphonex1 MICx1 1394x1 SPDIFx1
Back Panel Serial Portx1 1394x2 USBx2 LANx1 VGAx2 S-videox1
Extension Bay 5.25"x1 3.5"x2
Mainboard FN41
Form Factor Small Form Factor
CPU Socket A 333/266/200MHz FSB
Chipsets
North bridge:Nvidia nForce2 South bridge:nVidia MCP-T
Memory DDR 200/266/333/400x2(Dual Channel)
VGA Geforce4 MX 128 MB VGA share memory
Audio Realtek ALC650 6 Ch Support Digital SPDIF Output
Expansion Slot PCIx1 8XAGPx1
IDE interface ATA-133
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Components I have added:
Cd/RW: Sony 52x52x24 CDRW
Floppy: 3½" Black Floppy Drive
HDD: 80GB IBM Deskstar 180GXP ATA100
CPU: AMD AthlonXP 2700
Memory: 512MB PC3200 DDR SDRAM (DDR400)
Graphics: ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128Mb DDR AGP
------
After I put the card in. I try to install drivers.
Halfway through the installation the pc restarts.
Then it keeps trying to start, but restarts again before windows has a chance to start loading.
The only way to get the pc running again is to remove the card.
I have read that the old drivers may conflict with the new ones, so I tried uninstalling the old ones first, then putting the card in. But then I can't even get the pc to start.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
