Windows 7 - w7 cant detect nvidia geforce 8800 gt

Hi everyone!!

Yesterday I installed windows 7 ultimate, after a few restarts the system doesnt detect my video card, i changed to my on board vga card, but i want to know if i can fix this problem or to know if my nvidia card will ever work again

I appreciate all your comments.

Thank you!

Did you install drivers, is your card compatible, etc?

Hi,

I cant install drivers because every time that I try appear the below message...

"the NVIDIA setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Set up will not exit"

My nvidia 8800 gt is compatible with Windows 7, it works after Windows 7 installation, but like 3 or 4 restarts does not detect it anymore.




The only card that appear in my device manager window is the on board card... Intel(R) G965 Express Chipset Family.

When I was working with vista my video card always was detected.

Any suggestions??

Sounds like you need to disable the integrated graphics in the BIOS.

Waht do you mean by "not detected"?

You have the monitor connected to the 8800GT, and after a few restarts, you get no video?

Do you have any option in the BIOS settings for the order of graphics detection?

What's your motherboard? (Fillling in your system specs may be helpful.)

I tried to say with not detected that i have connected with a dvi cable from the card to the monitor but is like dont be connected, because the system dont recognize the card, right now im using a vga cable for the on board card.

im not sure about the BIOS option, i need to check that.


motherboard: Intel Stoughton DG965OT, I will update all my system specs in my profile soon.

gusanto, keep it plugged into your graphics card. Go into BIOS and disable on board video. Make sure you have the right graphics driver, and then try installing as admin. What happens?

hi!

thank you for all your suggestions, yesterday i cant disable the on board because i had to work, not even try, after my job when i be in my home i will try it, but right now im still reading and on the below thread im seeing that my computer almost have the same symptons, so when i return to my home i would like to update my BIOS, i never update it since i bought my pc, so i think is out of date. The issue is that i dont know how to do it, could you give me some tips to update my BIOS, anyway I will start to read to learn how to do it.

Windows 7 doesnt show my 8800 gt card

Gusanto, there is no need to post in that thread to ask how to flash a BIOS. If you know the name of your motherboard, we can give you instructions on how to do it as each board is different.
