Need Help for Graphic Card Installation

Hey guys, Im currently having a problem installing my other NVIDIA GeForce (I forgot the number but it is 1gig). I intalled the driver for this Graphic Card but after installation and restarting my PC. It will froze in loading screen.

anyone can help me? here's my specs(currently using NVIDIA also but 512mb only)

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x86
CPU: Intel (R) Core 2 Duo E4500 @ 2.20 GHz
Motherboard: HP Compaq DX7400 Microtower
Memory: 4 GB
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS

We need the exact model #s for the video card you have installed and the one you are trying to install.

Also, are you trying to run these cards in SLI, or just have two GPUs?

im currently using NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS(512mb). I want to remove this and install my other NVIDIA Graphic Card which is 1gig. I already tried to install it. the installation seem fine but after the restart it froze in loading screen. thats why I returned the old NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS.

im currently in the office right now. im going out in a bit. so i will post the model number of the graphic card im trying to install as soon as i arrive in my home.

Run in Safe Mode (with networking) and update your Graphics Driver to the latest version. You might have installed a faulty/old driver.

actually i already tried both... the first installation was from the cd installer then it failed same problem froze in loading screen.

i remove that driver and run automatic driver installation through internet. after downloading and installing i still having the same problem.

Automatic Driver Installation?
To ensure driver installation is appropriate, please download and install this driver through safe mode.

I mean through Device Manager.

Im gonna post the exact model number of NVIDIA later after i got home.


going home :)

Do what Ken said. What you are experiencing is a driver failure, probably because you are downloading the wrong driver. There are other possibilities, but do what Ken has suggested first.
