Hello everyone I need a little help.

I have an HP 6107C 2.5 Ghz dual core that I had installed a GeForce GT220 Graphic's card in last month. Last weekend my wife started the windows 7 install and when we were at the final stage of installing the windows the screen went totally blank so I had to switch back to the card on the motherboard. I cannot even see the graphic's card on the computer.

I did a lot of searches here and found the best solution was to download the software from the website so I un-installed the original software and downloaded the newest software from the Nvidia website but still no luck. Is there some trick to get it to find the hardware? I've spent hours upon hours and still no luck.

Any suggestion would be helpful.

Thanks

Larry

Did you try disabling the onboard graphics in the bios? I assume this is a PCI-e card? If so does it require a 6 pin power connector? And if so have you plugged it in? Also the power requirement question is a good and valid one. From what I could find it doesn't seem to require a 6 pin power connection. But I have yet to find the power requirements on the card. Would you post a link to where you purchased it. Possibly the specs will be listed their. Thanks. Fabe

Thanks for the tip on the bios. About to try that next. I guess a little more information would have help everyone. Yes the graphics card required 350 watt my unit only came with a 250W so Best buy had a 650W power supply so I purchased and installed that as well when I purchased the card. Worked great until windows 7

As far as when I was doing the windows install and the screen went blank I switched back to the on board graphic card in the boot screen. Just a few minutes ago I went back to the boot screen and switch back to PCI and now I get totally nothing. Had to remove the card just to get a monitor. Let me try the Bios and I'll be back in a few shortly and give you an update.

Well bios is up to date. Torrentg how do you install the video drivers from the device manager? Now it will not let me uninstall the software period? Ready to just take the card back but figure I'll have problems with someone else's and windows 7. Here is the card info if anyone else has any ideas

Hey. Cool card. I've never seen a picture of that before.

Anyhow, download the latest driver for it if you haven't already and extract to C:\NVIDIA

Reboot to bios and disable onboard vga, if there is such a setting or similar.

Reboot to safe mode then. In the device manager, right click on the card.

Update driver software. Browse my computer. Let me pick. Have disk. Browse.

Now navigate inside C:\NVIDIA unitl you see the .inf. Usually it's N_DISP.inf or similar.

Double click on it. Click ok. Click next and it should install.

When it's done, reboot to normal mode and test it out with a game.

Torrentg, when I reboot to bios yes I can chose PCI which turns off the onboard card. But when I exit and save changes with the card installed the screen goes blank even though the cable is still hooked up to onboard graphic's slot. Secondly the computer does not see the graphic's card. When I try to add the card in device manager it doesn't find Nvidia or PNY so I can't click on the card to install the drivers. In addition I've tried to uninstall Nvidia software and it will not uninstall. Also just so you know I have disabled the on board grahic's card in the devise manage which is what the installation instruction say to do. Any other thoughts?

If anyone else out there has followed all the suggestions given here, but is still experiencing problems, here's one more thing you can try. For some reason, it worked for me to connect via D-SUB/VGA rather than DVI. Who knows why...

For more info, see my comments on someone else's blog post.

By the way I've got an ASUS ENGT220 on Windows 7 64-bit.

Good luck!
