NVIDIA Display device won't work!
Hello. I will first start off with saying that I'm using an old Nvidia GeForce 9800GTX+ 512mb video card.
It has worked perfectly well for me all these years up till this day, when I woke up I found up some strange lines on my monitor screen. At first I thought it was my monitor problem. But then I noticed something when I checked my graphic card device in control panel under "Devices and Printers" and I found interesting error.
"Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"
Here's screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/1twhDkP.jpg
Then I went to Monitor resolution display and Adapter settings and found this: https://i.imgur.com/RrTNuvw.jpg
All information on adapter/video card are unavailable. It's like card is not even in the motherboard slot.
I also can't start Nvidia Control Panel: https://i.imgur.com/fbKYvdw.jpg
What I have tried so far:
- Fresh install of Windows 7 x32 bit system
- Fresh install of nvidia drivers (latest ones)
- Taking Nvidia video card out of it's slot, cleaning a bit around
- Took cmos battery out aswell
A friend told me that video card might die. But if it died, I wouldn't be able to have display picture at all. The card is working fine, the coolers on it are working fine... I have installed drivers but computer acts as if drivers aren't installed, even tho when I type "msconfig" and go to Services I can see Nvidia display driver service running.
Anyone got any suggestions what I could do?
