I have had a new processor put in lately and ever since then my nVIDIA Geforce FX 5200 Graphics card isn't starting!
When ever i went to play a new game e.g Cricket 2007 and Roller coaster Tycoon 3 Platinum edition it didn't start and the mouse pointer just goes to the to the top left hand corner and nothing happens!
I Went into Device Manager and it had a yellow exclamation mark next to the name of my driver, so i looked in properties and it said it couldn't start.
Some other person said that it might be the graphics card in the processor conflicting with it and i would need to go into my BIOS setup! If so, how would i do this?

Click Start, click Run, type dxdiag, click OK. Click on Display tab. You should see your device and driver on the screen. If they are missing, reinstall you graphics card driver.
Integrated graphics is NOT on the processor but on the chipset in the motherboard itself. It is automatically turned off if you plug in a card on the graphics port. However, if your FX5200 is a PCI type card, you may have to disable integrated graphics in BIOS.

An Nvidia 5200 is getting kind of old. It's not legacy yet, but a lot of developers are starting to take it off their list as a compatible card as new ones with better features are coming out. I would say it has about until May of 08, before all new graphical apps don't work for it, and hardware won't have the right drivers for it.
You can try at nvidia's website, but I doubt you'll find anything, the last update I remember for this card was in 2005.

Exchange it.
Return it and get the same one.
If it still has that problem, get a different one.
