GeForce 8400GS 256mb pci ddr2
Hi all, I have a problem with trying to install the above graphic card but i'm not too sure whether it's a pc problem, os problem or hardware compatibilty problem. When i installed the card i can't get as far as windows starting up, i can't enter bios or setup or start in safe mode. I've upgraded my psu to an atx 355w so that isn't an issue. I've taken the card back and seen the one i have now working. My bios is up to date and set to auto detect. The card is getting power but as soon as the windows 7 tries to start i get a blank screen. I've been on other forums and have seen others have got this card working on the same pc but with xp, microsoft also say that this card is compatible with windows 7 but i've seen many complain that it doesn't work. I've tried disabling and uninstalling my previous onboard graphics card drivers to no avail. Only other thing i can add is that is as soon as the pc is switched on with the card installed it quickly flashes up the make and model of the card so my pc seems to be recognising it. I've tried installing the relevant drivers without the card installed but i get the obvious message that there is no hardware compatible for the driver. HELP!!!!
