Solved Standard VGA Adapter problem.

[IngestedFool]

Hello guys, I've posted here about something similar to which I solved thanks to your good help But now there's something I need to clarify. My PC, back in October had a incident that I don't want to go over which caused my repairer to replace the Graphics card. I lost Aero (simulating it now with Transbar and TrueTransparency). What boots up when I start the PC shows the card as: SIS True Color 16 Bit PCI or some stuff life that.. I downloaded CPU-Z and put my latest specifications in my system specs.. so click em! See if you could help me verify the graphics driver or anything, the previous one was a NVIDIA GeForce one. It also shows my monitor as Generic PnP

Hi IngestedFool, I thought you had solved this problem when you switched cables ? The SIS card you have is only 16bit meaning it will not support aero which needs directx 9 and above I personnally think its time for a new later model of GFX card that will support aero , Is there anywhere else you acn go to purchase from and not the same person who put the older GFX card in for you ?

Hi Pebbly, and I did solve the problem but then BSOD's and crashing came so I disabled it. I've been simulating Aero now and it feels like 95% that I have it. Well, I will buy a new graphics card during Christmas and thanks for answering my question and giving me all the details I need. Solved added to your reputation btw

@pebbly
It's solved but I just want to clarify that the card is currently supporting Directx 11 as stated in both DXDIAG, msinfo32 and CPU-Z.

 

[pebbly]

Hi IngestedFool, If the card is showing as running directx 11 then it cant be a 16bit card (16bit high colour, 24bit true colour) could you please run this free little program Speccy - System Information - Free Download this will tell us the correct gfx card in your system ,we will then be able to help you correct the problem

Guess this isn't solved, lol.

That doesn't tell us anything, I'm afraid. Download and run GPU-Z Video card GPU Information Utility and post back with a snip showing the Graphics Card tab.

 

[IngestedFool]

Doesn't show splat.

You need to install the video driver. What is the make and model of your HP/

HP-Pavillion RK574AAR4-ABA a1730n Desktop Personal Computer

It has the Nvidia 6150 LE integrated video on it. This,

NVIDIA DRIVERS 306.97WHQL

should be the one you need for the video driver.

 

[IngestedFool]

Sigh, actually thought I had it for a second. The graphics driver could not find the compatible software.

 

[stormy13]

I get this feeling that HP has gone and done something at the firmware level where the reference Nvidia driver won't install, which should never be done on a desktop. If that is what they have done then you may be stuck with using what they have available,

NVIDIA Graphics Driver Update HP Pavilion a1730n Desktop PC | HP® Support

It is for Vista but will work in Windows 7.

Your system does not meet the requirements for this update. Update has been cancelled (9998).
Damn. Remember how I said earlier, whenever I boot up my PC it says SIS PCI True Color 16 Bit, VESA BIOS supported or some stuff like that. I think the repairist removed the NVIDIA card and put a new card (SIS).

Are you sure that the PC ever had a discrete graphics card in it? Its onboard graphics are from nVidia.

I can imagine that the onboard graphics died, and your repairman stuck in an old PCI (not PCI-E) graphics card that he had lying around. If that's what he did, you need to find a new repairman who is more forthcoming.

Yes, I had this PC since 06' and upgraded to 7 in 11', we had NVIDIA as the graphics until this incident. The incident was the VGA input got broken out loose, and I sorta think the circuit with it got broken off as well. That's why he put an old PCI in. He put in a SIS card named SIS PCI 16 Bit True Color Video Accelator, VESA Bios Supported. I just want to know if there's any way to improve it or if you can find the drivers; because this is driving me nuts and for sure I'll find a new repairman,

Best I can find using that name is that it is likely this,

SiS 6326 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

which if that is what it is your chances of finding a driver for it are precisely zero. That card came out 15 years ago, and any and all support for it ended before even XP came out.

If that is what it is your best best would be to forget about it and pick up a cheap PCI-E video card (your motherboard has a PCI-E x16 slot available).

Alright, my father's gonna search for one. God bless and help, giving you extremely high rep and everyone else who helped me in this situation.

Damn. I was right. The repairman tossed in a free (I hope that it was free) relic of a graphics card, which was worth less than nothing in a Windows 7 PC.

The cheapest PCI-E X16 graphics card currently on the market would be an upgrade to the original onboard graphics.

Hello guys. Although this is solved I'd just like to add a note, anyway to solve the random beeping and the disconnection?
