problem with vid driver (2 Viewers)

[melsc]

sunny nothing is showing up in advance>adapter.

how can i check whether the computer is recognising that the card is there?

edit: melc you mean, the computer is not picking it up?

well the fact that it wasnt in the device manager suggests to me like its not picking it up

yes i meant not lol

 

[thejosiekiller]

well windows would recognise a device if it was in properly

just make sure its clicked/snapped into place

then reinstall all over again

thats what i am going to do next...but how do i check if the computer has recognised it being there?

btw, by onboard you mean actually in there? yes it is...because it was working before i repaired windows.

By onboard I mean is it built in onto ur motherboard or is it in a pci slot?

If it hasn't recognised a video card in your computer, you wouldn't see anything on your screen. What we've asked you to do (looking in Device Manager, etc) is to see what Windows has recognised the card to be. Right now it looks like the drivers have gone wacko and not recognised anything. Give the downloaded drivers a go after a reboot.

is it in properly or is it onboard?

Most probably standalone AGP card. Never heard of a Radeon 9600XT come onboard for a PC.

when this happened to me my sound card was cactus...i hope its just a driver prob

the card isnt more than 2 months old! so i hope it isnt anything serious.

thanks for clearing up in the posts above. i'll check the vid card tmw morning before work. time for sleep.

thanks all for your time.

much appreciated.

i had a look in it just now.

i think the video card is fucked up.
the fan isnt spinning anymore.

the guy would have to take it back under warranty...it has been less than 3 months.

have you checked the power connections of the fan to the vid card itself? but if the fans dead, then the chip could have been fried. :/

 

[redruM]

i could not see any power connection. :s

i might just take it to the guy and get him to check it up.

The exact same thing happened with my video card.
I haven't figured our how to fix it yet.
I might just email dell support cause I'm still under warranty.

Is it GeXcube?
Cos the fan stopped spinning on that for my friends GeXcube 9600XT, he had to play around with it to get it working properly.
Though, it didn't stuff in windoze. Take it back to the shop, should be covered by warranty. Then when/if you get new ones, its probably better to get drivers from ATi

 

[redruM]

yeh i twas a gexcube

i have taken it to the guy who bought it for me...should hear from him soon.
