I just installed a graphics card (Radeon 9200 SE). The color is messed up, its not showing green so everything has a purple color thats hurting my eyes. I have not yet tried installing the drivers from the manufaturer, i'm gonna try that now but in the mean time I welcome any helpful suggestions.

I cant use my onboard graphics card because the connection is not working. (Thats why I installed the graphics card in the first place)

I have a AGP 6600gt
When I play a game it plays for 5mins and then the screen goes all funny coloured and the PC freezes.
So now when I restart the PC then the are white doted line going from top to bottom in goups of 4 on the screen during the memory scan. And then when it gets to the black windows bootup screen with a running bar at the bottom the line change to blue. After that the LCD monitor says no signal.
So I went to safe mode and tried system restore same story, but then I uninstalled the nvidia drivers via control panel the lines did not go away but it detected a new device, I then installed the nvidia drives again it installed but, when it got to the part were the screen swithes off and switches on the screen just went off for ever.
Help Thank you in advance.

I am looking to replace my outdated ATI Radeon 9600 AGP card with 128mb, with something faster and better.

Here's my setup:
Asus A7V8X-X motherboard
AMD Athlon XP 2800 (2.4GHz)
1 GB RAM/ Windows XP Home SP2
160 GB Hard Drive

And while I am open to trying Nvidia graphics cards, I'd prefer to stick with ATI if at all possible. Since I can't afford at this time to upgrade to the latest motherboard just to get PCI-E, I want to know which is the best AGP graphics card for games. Overall great performer. I don't want to go over $200, though. Thanks!

I am dealing with this old motherboard. Albatron KX 600 Pro and I can't find the drivers for the audio chipset. It is very frustrating. I can't find the originals all I found are some pages "saying" that they have it but the don't.

I have googled the type of motherboard but so far nothing!

Are good generic drivers for this? I would appreciate it alot!

The LED doesn't light up but I have checked the wiring and it seems ok. Windows says the disk drive is ok - it isn't. Windows tells me there is no disk in the drive when there is. Windows asks do I want to format the un-formatted disk - I go through the procedure and windows tells ne it can not complete the format.

I HAVE checked bios and Set Up - everything seems to be in order. Once again, help, please!

And please note that I NEED the 3.5 floppy for special reasons connected with a QL Emulator. Thanks . . .

I just bought a new PCI-E X16 card and after installing the drivers and restarting all I see is a red square on the screen. I have to plug into my onboard graphics to use my computer. What could this be?

I saw a special on Tiger for $59 (after 40 rebate) for a xfc 512MB 7300 GT PCI-E card. I currently have an nvidia 128MB 6600 GT PCI-E. I was looking at the specs and it looks like the 6600 performed slightly better than the 256MB versions of the 7300GT.

I know the 7600 GT is the model to get in that line, but I don't really want or need to spend the money. I am getting 60-70fps with most of the games I am playing now at decent resolution. (1028x768)

Just seemed like a good deal at first when I saw the 512 MB.

Is my 6600 GT a better card than I thought it was? I had an ati x300 SE before that and it was a dog.

I was reading some reviews and they said too many people look at the memory size of the card and not the rating.

Hi I have a X1950 pro GFX card that came with a DVI to VGA converter but what I want to know is if I'll lose out in quality in the conversion e.g. will I not be able to use HDTV?

I have today bought a new high speed 5 port usb 2.0 card and I put it into my computer and my windows XP picked it up and said it is ready for use, however when I plug my scanner, webcam or printer in they will not work, I scanned for new hardware and it said the usb devices connected are malfunctioned, so I tried them back in the "old" usb's and they work fine again, my old ports are quite old so I bought the new one, to speed them up. As recommended to do so by XP.

Also, what else will I need? I know I will need speakers, a keyboard, and a mouse, a monitor and a network card. Do USB ports come on the motherboard, or is that something I will need to buy seperately?
I have never built a computer before... What else am I going to need?

1. What is the point of having 2 cards @ 8x VS. 1 @16x? Would that not cause a bottleneck in speed? Or is it still faster because these video cards are not operating at full bandwidth anyway? 2. Do I have to have Identical video cards in order to SLI them? Like if I have a Geforce 7600 GT now, and my budget allows
me to get a 7950 XTX later, can I hook those suckers together or do I need to 7600 GTs? 3. If I can hook different models of video card together, do I have to stay within a certain generation, like the GeForce 7000 series or can I go balls to the wall and buy an 8000 series card that runs on Direct X 10 and eats other video cards for breakfast? Im sure you cant, but I can't find and documentation about it anywhere and it never hurts to ask.

Please help!
