installing video card
Installing a AGP MadDog Multimedia Prediator MX 4000 Plus with nVIDA G-FORCE
MX 4000....digital video card Custom Built machine November 2001...XP Home...CPU...AMD...Athion "Thunderbird" Socket A - 1.2 GHZ...Motherboard...Asus A7V...PC 133...Graphics card is PCI separate from motherboard...(not integrated with motherboard ...but separate...so probably not ONBOARD VIDEO). Taking out Analog video card and drivers which has Nvida drivers. Video card...TNT 2 model 64 IRQ: 9 BIOS: 2005.20.02 BUS: AGP 4X 1. I did a System Restore to the point just before the guy installed the Nvida digital drivers (at that time I had an analog card in) and the shutdown, restart, sleep mode and icon issues still exist...except that the recycle bin icon is back to normal. (((Won't shutdown, restart or go into sleep mode by Microsoft Internet Keyboard button. 44 of 63 All Program Icons are generic.))) My next moves are to: 1. Uninstall Nvida drivers thru add remove programs 2. Remove PCI card from system thru device manager 3. Power down..physically remove old/original PCI card physically install new AGP card physically install LG monitor digital cable/chord from monitor to AGP card 4. Power on 5. Install new AGP digital drivers MY CONCERNS A 1. After uninstalling Nvida drivers I will then have a BLACK blank screen and not able to see to do anything else. 2. Will I get black blank screen? 3. If I do how do I go on to to steps 2-5 above? 4. HOW DO I GET INTO BIOS to make CHANGES or DISABLE ONBOARD Video (if it does need to be disabled)? Thank you for your consideration and assistance!!!!! |

Thank you for your consideration and assistance!!!!! 1. No, uninstalling any video drivers will revert back to generic VGA drivers. 2. No. Same reason. 3. -- 4. Depends on your motherboard, usually during boot up (when cpu, ram amounts, hard drivers are displayer) press a key to enter BIOS; typically F2, F10, ESC. It also usually says somewhere on the boot screen what key needs to be pressed. Also the onboard video should automatically disable if the mobo detects an AGP card in place. |
