Hello and Welcome to Seven Forums.

Is this happening since you have installed Windows 7 x64 or recently? Did you install the Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT driver for windows 7 x64?

You may try to download the latest driver for windows 7 x64 for this adapter and install on windows.

NVidia GeForce 9800 GT for Windows 7 (64-bit)

Also please print is an image of your graphic adapter's properties.

Control Panel - Display - Change Display settings - Advanced Settings - Adapter tab.

Use snipping tool (Start - All Programs - Accessories - Snipping Tool) to take a snapshot of this window and post it in this forum. This will help us in giving you a solution.


For the memory problem type "msconfig" on the search field inside Start menu, and click on msconfig.exe.

In the opened program, go to Boot tab and select "Advanced Options". Remove the check mark on "Maximum memory" and close the program by clicking the OK button.

In addition you can see how your RAM is currently apportioned by typing Resource Monitor in Start Search box then clicking on Memory Tab.

Hi thank you for the replys I've installed the latest update for my card and now it won't boot could it be a graphics card fault

 

[gregrocker]

You can roll back the driver by booting into System Recovery Options to choose System Restore.

Do you have a graphics chip on your motherboard which you can default to, or another graphics card, to see if the problem persists?

 

[iTzNoTTOMCAT]

Hi I'm not sure what you mean by a graphics chip do you.mean onboard graphics and thanks for helping.out Greg

 

[gregrocker]

Yes.

 

[iTzNoTTOMCAT]

Hi yes my board and chip set support it but some reson it dose not work

 

[gregrocker]

Can you try physically uninstalling the card to reinstall it according to the exact steps in its setup literature or the Manual on the Nvidia Support Downloads webpage?

You may need to enable onboard video in BIOS setup. Make sure the card settings are correct there, too.

 

[iTzNoTTOMCAT]

I'm just at work right now I'll let you know the results in the morning

You need to remove the NVidia graphic card from the motherboard to try the onboard graphics.

Try loading windows in Safe Mode and check whether it is booting. Press F8 key while the "Starting Windows" message and the animated windows logo appears and select "Safe Mode" from the boot menu.

Hi ill try it now I'm just wonderin if you think a sapphire hd 6670 2gb is anygood

 

[gregrocker]

I've asked if anyone knows this particular card, and for more specialized help.

Hi Jamie, are you getting any beeps or chirps from your motherboard when starting the computer?
This will help us help you if you find some specifics on your hardware.

Hi just a single beep and I'm installing that thing now thanks

 

[Britton30]

A single beep means it should be okay. Anything other would be a problem so the Video card should be fine. Recheck all of your connections from your power supply and data cable to be on the safe side. We (I) sometimes forget one or work something loose while mucking around in my case.

 

[iTzNoTTOMCAT]

It's starts in safe mode with the graphics card enabled

 

[iTzNoTTOMCAT]

I've checked everything and It's still giving me blue screen

 

[gregrocker]

But when it starts in Safe Mode it is using the onboard graphics chip, correct? Check in Device Manager. Can you update the card's driver from optional Updates or Nvidia site?

 

[iTzNoTTOMCAT]

hi no the onboard graphics just won't work some reason and ii have uninstalled and reinstalled the drives to make sure it was installed correctly I have took the chance in buyin a sapphire he 6670 2gb to see if this will solve my problem
