southy_pne Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) hi, I hope someone can help me. I am installing a 9400 GT, Lo profile card into a machine and when the card is plugged in and booted up the card is displaying incorrectly, using the standard vga drivers for windows vista 32 bit. If the correct drivers are installed then the computer will not boot up at all. I have included some pictures taken of the display and would welcome any comments, is the card broken and should I get a replacement, I have tried this in two machines and it is happening on both. Many thanks Chris Edited October 9, 2008 by southy_pne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morris Lee Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 use driver sweeper to clean out all the drivers for nvidia, reboot, and THEN install the driver from here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFrancis Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Make sure to run driver sweeper in safe mode by pressing f8 when u turn on your comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Does it show the startup splash screen OK ? If this is corrupted then the card is most likely bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobilenvidia Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 No worries, if the BIOS splash screen = bad then there is little hope. Windows only corruption usually means driver issue. Aero corruption issue usually means 3D accel issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
