Hi, just done a new PC build and put in a GF 6600 256MB graphics card. Windows XP Its recognised in BIOS on start up but the add new hardware wizard doesn't recognise it and isn't working, installed drivers but still no joy. Any ideas. Tried everything i can thing off. I think its a faulty card.

it seems to be recognised on start up in BIOS but hardware wizard doesn't recognise it at all and it's not shown in the device manager,

operating system XP professsional
AMD Athalon 64 processor 3200+
2.00 GHz 1.00 GB Ram

thanks
 
what motherboard do you have?

If you have integrated graphics on the mobo (which is unlikely, but still possible), or old drivers still existant, then the pc will pick up the old settings.

whats it like for playing games? If you get a display and you dont have integrated graphics then to me that means the card is working.

if it doesnt play games (well) and you still get a display its likely your onboard graphics is still active

motherboard is ASUS A8V. Wont play games at all,ust get an error reporting message. when i scroll with mouse its blocky and not smooth.
 
Yeah, I reckon it's outdated drivers still in use or the new ones aren't properly installed. Before I updated my drivers it was all choppy and smeary too.
 
I bet the last ones I downloaded were courrupted, both the beta and regular versions oddly enough. Either that or I installed them wrong. Is there any special procedure you're supposed to follow when installing drivers?
