6600TD +Shuttle SB81p

Hi

I recently purchased a Shuttle SB81P. It has the following specs
3.0ghz P4
2x 512mb ram
300gb SATA WD HDD
and a DVD burner

now i also purchased a Winfaxt PX6600 TD MyVIVO PCI Express Graphics card from leadtek.

After installing the graphics card everything works fine it outputs to the screen until you install the drivers and then restart.
Once you restart the computer after installing the drivers windows does not load anymore and you have to go into safe mode and restore to the restore point before you installed the drivers

I am running WinXP with service pack 2

Any help much appreciated

Thanks

it sounds like your using the wrong drivers for your VGA card, even if they came on the cd with your card, try downloading the correct drivers, http://www.leadtek.co.uk/

I have already tried both the drivers on the CD, Downloaded from leadtek and the generic Forceware drivers from NVIDIA
no go on any

is it an LCD screen or CRT, cos if its LCD what refresh rate are you using, if its a CRT remove and reinsert grfx card if that doesn’t work, remove and reinsert RAM then if that doesn’t work i’d probably do a BIOS reset, something to keep you busy, if nothing else!

Try booting into VGA mode and set the resolution manualy to 800X600 and set the refresh rate to 60Hz. After doing this, you should be able to boot into Windows normally and set your desired resolution and refresh rate. Failing this, a re-install of DirectX should do the job.

Did you install your chipset (aka motherboard) drivers? If not, try that and see if it helps.

Ok in answer to your question yes i have installed the chipset drivers

I have also replugged the RAM and the video card to no effect.

oh and tried resetting the cmos didnt really do anything

have u tried reinstalling direct x as pelvis_3 recommended

It does not even boot into windows just restarts before even getting to the logon screen

10

will it go into safe mode ?

11

yeah it does go into safe mode.
If i restore windows to before i installed the drivers it boots fine, yet obviously the drivers are no longer installed so i cant get all of the resolutions and what not

12

try setting it to “Standard VGA” (resolution 640 x 480, 256 colours) in safe mode, then reboot and hopefully you’ll be able to reinstall the drivers and you’ll be able to set your own resolution

hope this helps.
